Documentation

Definition

Describes a posting in terms of whether it is an initial premium or a renewal premium, a charge or interest.

Use

The receivable type is used to determine the appropriate dunning procedure as follows:

• A document type is specified in the document header.
• A receivable type has been defined for the document type in Customizing. This assignment is used to determine the receivable type for the business partner item in posting data transfer.
• When a document is posted, the receivable type and other criteria related to the line item - such as company code and country - are used to determine the dunning procedure for the business partner item.

Examples

For the initial premium business transaction, the IP document type was assigned. Since initial premiums require special treatment in dunning, a separate dunning procedure has been defined. A receivable type was defined for document type IP and this is used to determine the dunning procedure for initial premiums.
