Use

Dunning notices are normally created per business partner. In special cases, it can make sense to group together the open items of a business partner based on certain criteria, and dun these as a group.

In order to group items together for dunning, you have to define grouping keys. (These are two-character, alphanumeric keys.) The contents of certain line items are the determining factors for the grouping. For each key, you enter up to two fields from these line items. When items have the same contents in these fields, then they are dunned together.

Example

You are using Financial Assets Management, and want to send your business partners a separate dunning notice for each rental object. You define a grouping key that relates to the contract number field. Inthis way, you can dun open items together that have the same contract number.

Activities

In Financial Accounting, define the grouping keys you need in the Define Dunning Groupings IMG activity, and enter the dunnable incoming payment methods in the Determine Dunnable Payment Methods IMG activity in Customizing for Flexible RealEstate Management.

Make sure that a grouping key is entered in the master records of those business partners, for whom you want to group items together for dunning.

Result:

In addition to those items that are dunned based on the logic in Financial Accounting, all items are also dunned that have a dunnable payment method in the item or in the customer master record.

If grouping key 01 'Contract Number/Contract Type' is entered in the customer master record, then all open items of the real estate contract are automatically dunned as dictated by the dunning level.

Requirements

All postings have to be made with contract type 9 and a contract number as a reference.

Further Settings

If you want dunning to be per customer, you have to make settings in the Define Dunning Areas IMG activity.
