Dunning Procedure

[rajesh_vasudeb]

Dear Friends,

There is a provision to dun the customers at contract level and not at 'contract a/c' level as the 2 contracts have 2 seperate dunning procedures. The contract a/c consist of 2 contracts which need to be dunned on 2 seperate procedures.

Can any one of you advice me how to proceed on such a sceneario???

Please help!!

Hi,

U can maintain Dunning procedure at contract account level or u can maintain the dunning procedure at line item level. Line item level procedure will have priority over the contract account level during dunning run. U get more information on the below link.

Also chk page 2 tab of the contract ES22 where u have dunning procedure field . it may help.

Hi Rajesh,

Dunning procedure can be defined both at the contract level as well as the contract account level.

Chk out Tab 3 at Contract account level -> CAA2

Also chk out Tab 2 at Contract Level -> ES21

Hi Rajesh,

There is no special configuration required for Dunning at contract level.Infact, the Line item level procedure will have priority over the contract account level during dunning run.

During dunning proposal run(FPVA) ,you just need to specify the business partner and his contract against which you are dunning him..No need to specify a contract account in that case.

Hope it helps..

Hi,

You can also define a grouping rule at contract account level, grouping the dunning at contract level and according to dunning procedures.

Let me know if this would be OK.

Dear Bodgan,

I included the Division field name also ie,"SPART" also in the Dunning Grouping as Contract is division wise. But again in the dunning run it is picking from the "Contract Level" and not from "Contract ' level.

Try using field VTREF (contract) as a grouping criterion (field "grouping category in dunning notice" in contract account), along with the other criteria. Path: Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable \ Business Transactions \ Dunning Notices \ Define Dunning Grouping Categories.

Hi Bogdan,

I would like to suggest something that SAP Documentation of the Menu path you gave above says that this Dunning grouping cannot include 'contract account' or 'contract' as grouping criteria.

Hi, Richa

I quote from what I think you extracted your info:

"If you intend to group a business partner's dunnable items and these belong to more than one contract account, you must ensure that you assign the same grouping category to each of the business partner's contract accounts. Note that this grouping category cannot include contract account or contract as grouping criteria."

This is basically an example of how to do the grouping and, if you want to group items from more than one contract account, it is clear that you shouldn't use the contract account or the contract as a grouping criteria, because you will get groups of open items which have the same contract account or the same contract. This means your goal (grouping items from more than one contract account) would not be reached.

Hope this clears it.
