Dunning (by collection strategy) after submission to collection agecny

[gulrez1]

Hi Experts,

We have 7 level of dunning but client requirement is to submit dunning items to collection agency aftere first level of dunning + n days. As per my understanding SAP dont allow dunning of items if its already submitted to collection agency. Please let me know if further dunning is possibel for the same document after submission to collection agency.

Suggestion to achieve this is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Gulrez

Gulrez:

Are you using collection strategy or dunning procedure?  Levels only exist for procedure approach.

Submitting an item to a collection agency does not exclude it from dunning - but typically when submission is done, a dunning lock is added.  This is configured in posting area 1054.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your prompt reply. I am using dunning by collection strategy approach. So even if document is submitted to collection agency then can it be dunning further ?

e.g. let say if no. of days in arrear is 3 days then first dunning happened i.e. D1 now after 10 days of D1 if overdue amount remains unpaid then D2 will trigger and document should be submitted to collection agency (Run FP03M + FP03DM)... after this if amount remains unpaid then have to dunn it to D3 which will generate reminder letters.

Now my question is can I dunn document to D3 even its submitted to collection agency ?

Yes - as already mentioned - dunning process does not care about collection agency submission UNLESS you have added dunning lock as per posting area details.

Hi Bill ,

Thanks for your reply. I checked posting area 1056 but could not find settings for applying dunning lock after document submission to collection agency .

requirement is to first submit documents to collection agency then after n no. of days if debt remains unpaid then documents should be reassigned to different collection agency.

Tcode FP03 give me option to reassign documents to different collection agency. Is there any way to automate this or tcode to do re-submisstion to different agency ?

I am using dunning by collection strategy with BRF+.
