Dunning question.

[Former Member]

There is a specific requirement from the client on dunning. The client wants to send dunning notice after the total due on the line items of a contract is less than 400 dollars. Do we need to involve ABAPer to code this specific requirement. I am not able to map this requirment to the out-of-box functionality provided by SAP FICA. Please advice.

Hi Sunku,

You can check the below SPRO node where the amount limits are set for a particular dunning level.

SPRO--> Financial Accounting (New)-->Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable-->Business Transactions-->Dunning-->Dunning by Dunning Procedure-->Configure Dunning Procedure.

In this node go to the "Amount Limits" option for a particular dunning level of the dunning procedure.

Items in a dunning level are only dunned if the total amount of the items due for dunning in a dunning group that have reached this dunning level or exceeded the amount limit defined for the dunning level.

Hope it's helpful.

Hi Sunku,

Your requirement can be met by standard configuration. However, your requirement has two sides to it.

(a) Until and unless, the total due on the line items of a contract is $ 400, the dunning wouldn't happen and hence no reminder notice will get triggerred.

(b) Irrespective of the fact, the total due on the line items of a contract is $ 400 or not, the dunning would happen but reminder notice will get triggerred only for items greater or equal to $400.

If your requirement is option (a), then Sachin's Solution is absolutely correct.

However, if you are looking for option (b), then you need to perform the following configuration.

(a) Go to SPRO--> Financial Accounting -->Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable-->Business Transactions-->Dunning-->Dunning by Dunning Procedure-->Configure Dunning Procedure

(b) Select the "Dunning Procedure" and click on "dunning level"

(c) Select the "Reminder Notice" level and click on Dunning Activities.

(d) Set two amount limits as follows-

      Amount-0.00- Assign this to a dummy activity

      Amount 400.00-Assign this to the reminder notice dunning activity.

This Setting will ensure thart dunning will happen for all items but reminder notice will only be sent for amount greater than or equal to $400.

Hope it helps in answering your query.

Thanks,
