SAP Collection Management and BAdI

[Former Member]

Hello Friends!

I am in the process of configuring SAP Collection Management for one of our clients. I couldn't find enough information on SAP Collection Management especially the implementation steps. I did find some informationon http://help.sap.com but its not enough. Its very theoritical. Does any one has any configuration steps on SAP Collection Management. Also I wanted to know about what is the function of Business Add In in the configuration. Kindly enlighten me with SAP Collection Management.

Hi som,

You won't find any specific material regarding collection management. I'm also in the same process of configuring. I'm now able to enter the promise to pay and customer contacts in collection management system.

You don't need to customize ALE if your collection management and FI-AR in the same box. Activate post processing office.Just customize the Customer Account group and Business partner role customization and try to convert the FI-AR customer with transaction flbpd1. if error comes display post processing log and try to correct it.

Go to www.service.sap.com/fscm and visit Media library. Download it and use it maximum in addition with SAP Help.

Collections Management is like a blank canvas. The BADI's are there so you can custom the product to the clients needs.

In terms of config you need to get the org structure correct.

You also need to get the collection stratergies correct. This is where you weight business requirements.

You can use exits here as well.

You also need to consider how you want your worklists to work, this is mainly from the Collection Stratergies, however there could be workflows to escallate issues.

Lastly you need to assign your worklists.

All of the reporting should be done out of BI.

Hope this helps.

Please look at some of the latest functionality in the latest enhancement pack which is number 2.

Hey Mark!

Thanks for your reply. Do you have any documents on configuration steps for collection management. If you have, that would be a great help to me. Secondly, could you please let me know how access the Custmers (in AR) as Business Partners in Collection Management.

In terms of documentation I only have the SAP Manual in paper.

Regarding customer into BP's, I have an open thread on this.

You need to set up ALE and there is config you do, to set the customer account group with the collections management BP and so on.

I have previously used ABAP'ers to get this working and would suggest you follow the same route.

in terms of config it is simple and easy to follow.
