Assigning Dunning proc to CA and Document Items : Configuration question.

[Former Member]

Hi There,

How is a dunning procedure assigned to Contract Account or Documents.

There appear to be three places where we can assign dunning procedures

1) When we define and parametrize external transactions.

2) On the Contract Account Object

3) On the document Item Object

If the dunning procedure is assigned to Contract Account level, the Contract Account will be dunned.

If the dunning procedure is assigned to the document at item level, the item is dunned.

How are these two assigned (other than manually opening each CA or Item and assigning them individually)?

1) How do we configure so that Dunning can take place at Contract Account level?

and

2) How do we configure so that Dunning can take place at Document item level?

Thank You.

Hi,

You should not assign dunning procedure at each document since dunning takes place at contract account level. If you assign dunning procedure at contract account level then whenever any document within the contract account should be dunned then SAP automatically assigns the dunning procedure at contract account level to all the items being dunned.

Hope this helps you.

Thank you for your kind reply.

We normally assign Dunning procedures to Contract account during contract account creation (Via the selected Contract Account Category).

But in this case we need to dunn some Business Partners at the Contract Level and some Business Partners at the Document Item level also. I am looking for a clean/clear design solution that will allow us to do that.

JayUtility:

Use the dunning grouping field then to differentiate the two situations. You would configure two different groupings with the appropriate criteria - then assign them to the accounts as required. This would enable you to provide different groupings for the master data.
