Documentation
Definition
You can use the alternative days in arrears, if the dunning level is determined by an external program.
Note for utility companies
When the dunning level is increased, the alternative days in arrears are created by billing.
Note for SAP Insurance
If more items are included for an existing collective dunning procedure, the system does not check them against the days in arrears for the first dunning level, but against the alternative days in arrears for the first dunning level.
The value for the alternative days in arrears must be smaller than the value for the days in arrears for the second dunning level.
Example
The following Customizing settings exist:
Days in arrears Alt. days in arrears
1. Dunning level 30 days 10 days
2. Dunning level 60 days %
This produces the following dunning procedure:
One item, which has been due for 31 days, is dunned for a business partner/contract. A dunning procedure is opened and the item goes to dunning level 1. Dunning takes place again after one month (61 days). The item goes to dunning level 2.
Another item is due at this time, which has been due for 12 days. This also goes to dunning level 2, as the alternative days in arrears for the first dunning level are set to 10 (before SAP for Insurance Release 4.71 , the system checked whether this new item had been due for at least 30 days).
However, if Customizing contains errors and the value for the alternative days in arrears (1st dunning level) exceeds the level for the second dunning level, the second dunning level is not reached: If you specify 100 days for the alternative days in arrears, the second dunning level is not reached as the system only checks all items to see whether they are older than 100 days.
