Documentation

Definition

Describes a posting with regard to the nature of the receivable. In other words, whether this is an initial premium or a renewal premium, a charge or interest.

Use

The receivables type is used to determine the relevantdunning procedure as follows:

• A document type is specified in the document header.
• A receivables type for this document type is defined in Customizing. On the basis of this assignment, the receivables type for the business partner item is determined during posting data transfer.
• When the document is posted, the receivables type and other criteria (such as company code and country) for the document item are used to determine the dunning procedure for the business partner item.

Examples

The document type IP is assigned for the business transaction initial premiums. As special attention has to be given to initial premiums in dunning, they have their own dunning procedure. A receivables type is defined for the document type IP. The dunning procedure for initial premiums is determined on the basis of this receivables type.
