EPP (Budget Bill Plan) Balance Forward Amount

[Former Member]

We are currently having an issue with the due date on our balance forward amounts for payment plans. Per the SAP documentation:

"To ensure that the balance forward lines are not prematurely dunned or cleared by a payment, they are assigned a special clearing restriction (3), a dunning lock, and the due date 31.12.9999. This means that although the balance forward amount appears on the business partneru2019s account, it is not requested, nor does the business partner receive a dunning notice."

Currently, we have the clearing restriction posting properly, and the item gets a dunning lock, however, the item is inhereting the due date of the invoice document, which is from the payment terms on the CA. As such, when we invoice subsequent months, there are LPC's being charged on the balance forward amounts (Main 0150 Subs 0010/0020).

Has anyone experienced this? We are unsure if this is a program error, or if somewhere in our config we have made a change which is causing this issue.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Derek

It could be to do with how your Dunning Levels are configured.

When a BPP is created, we change the Dunning Proc on the contract account from Standard to BPP, and then just have 1 Dunning Level within that Dunning Proc, this terminates the plan once the due balance is more than X days old and above a certain amount. Dunning proc is then reverted to Standard when the plan de-activates with the next invoice.

Are you changing the dunning procedure?

If the LPC is coming from somewhere other than Dunning then I can't offer any advice.

Hello Derek,

I guess you are talking about LPC at the time of clearing of open items. I am not sure if there is a config missing due to which the due date is not 31.12.9999. What you can do is that you can enhance event 104 and get the items ignored for LPC calculation which have a dunning lock.

Thanks!

Derek:

Please take a look at event R970 - default FM ISU_SAMPLE_R970 is used. You might need to filter out your items there.

regards,

bill.

We raised this issue with SAP and they confirmed that the system behaviour was incorrect.

They have created note 1563829 and it should (hopefully) be released soon.

Thanks to everyone for their replies.
