Dunning lock on line item through Dunning Activity

[Former Member]

Hello,

How do we place a dunning lock on a line item through a dunning activity? Is there a function module to achieve this?

Thanks

Hi Sunku,

You need to first create a dunning proposal via transaction FPVA- give a date ID and Identification , enter the busines spartner and the dunning parameters.

Then you need to run this proposal via FPVB.

Hope this clears your query.

Hi Sunku,

Your requirement is not clear to me.

If you are planning to place a dunning lock for an item, for which you have peformed the dunning proposal and then at the dunning activity phase, you want to place the lock, then it is not at all recommendable.  

Can you please let me know your detailed requirement?

Thanks,

Hi Amlan,

"If the combined due amount including charges and Interest is greater

than and equal to $1000, send to a collection agency and apply dunning lock on line item."

The above is the requirement.

On doing some research, I found that "FKK_SAMPLE_0350_LOCK_VKONT" will place a lock on the Contract. However, We need the lock on the line item and not the contract account.

Please advice.

Thanks

Sunku

Sunku:

There is no standard activity for this - you would need to create your own FM to execute the lock creation.

Thanks Bill.

I was thinking in the same lines but wanted to cross check.

Hi Sunku,

The Dunning Activity is performed for converting a Dunning Proposal to Activity (FPVB) which generate the correspondence if any and populate the dunning level at open item level.

For applying the dunning locks try the following Standard T-code in Utilities module for setting and deleting the locks:

1) FKLOCK2 (Mass Activity)

2) FPLKDEL (This T-code will delete all the locks which are being applied through FKLOCK2).

If you want to apply dunning lock while dunning activity you have to search the dunning events and in those events lock BAPI can be used 'BAPI_CTRACDOCUMENT_CHANGE'.

Hi Sunku Gupta,

I think this is a clear business requirement so set a dunning lock to titems released to external collection agency.

Just use what the standard provides. You can dun budget billing requests as well as open items. The dunning run can create lock documents automatically. For more information about lock documents, see the documentation.

Dunning Activities

Check transaction FQEVENTS for possible events:

In the dunning procedure, you can release a receivable for submission to an external collection agency.

In the dunning run, you can automatically set a dunning lock for the dunned contract account. You can use the example function module FKK_SAMPLE_0350_LOCK_VKONT to do this. The module writes a dunning lock reason in the master data.

This function module is used for defining a dunning activity that can be stored in the dunning procedure.

Function module FKK_SAMPLE_0395_UNLOCK_VKONT enables you to delete the lock (at event 0395) set by the dunning program when the dunning notice is reversed.

As you see, everything has already been provided by SAP. Any qualified functional consultant will help you.
