Posting of Interest in Dunning Run

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have configured Dunning and in the letter generated it displays the Dunning Charges as well as applicable Interest, which is correct according to the configuration.

However the same is not debited to the customer account. I have maintained all necessary account determinations for the indicator assigned to dunning procedure.

Kindly let me know how to post interest and charges to the customer through dunning run( F150).

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Mohan,

Thanks for the reply.

To the best of my knowledge, i did the configuration settings for Interest calculation. Also assigned that interest indicator to Dunning Procedure.

With this it calculates and displays the interest amount to be charged for the overdue amount in the dunning letter.

But when i go and check in FBL5N for any posting, i do not find anything. My concern is to post the interest. Calculation is happening in dunning notice.

Please let me know if you have any more info regarding this.

Hi,

did u assign ur interest indicator in Customer Master Data? If not assign in customer master company code data....

Hi Mohan,

Yes, i have done that also. Further it does not have any impact as far as postingis concerned. If we assign interest inidicator in Customer Master than that indicator gets preference over the one difined in Dunning procedure.

Any other thread will be of much help.

Thanks!

Why would you want this posted to the customer account when doing the dunning run? Dunning charges and interest on dunning letters is for information only. They are rarely to be posted to the account. This is done by a separate interest run, either by open item calculation or for paid items only.

Hi Jan,

To the best of my knowledge, with the documentation of dunning available on help.sap.com, it seems that dunning provided the functionality of posting also. And to me that looks logical also. If i have generated the letter and say some customer paid the interest ort dunning charge, how will the company account for that.

Second thing is manually doing the interest posting will be very hectic and prone to errors in case customer base is too high.

Third thing, when we are telling custmer that this is the amount which will be charged from you, than why not post it also simultaneously to the respctive accounts.

Please throw some more light. Also to me its still not clear that whether its posible in dunning to post interest and dunning charges documents?

Any authentic link/documentation in this regard will be very useful for me.

Thanks

hi,

about this FI posting of a dunning charge (FI-ar, not FI-CA)

this is not standard SAP !

But you can do it via the Busines Transaction Event (BTE), please check via transaction FIBF (menu > Environment).

You should have a look to event 1071 = dunning charges, where SAP deliveres a sample, SAMPLE_PROCESS_00001071

Hoping this helps you !
