Documentation

Definition

Minimum number of days that have to have elapsed since the date of issue of the last dunning notice, so that another dunning notice can be created for the items in the original notice.

Dependencies

You have to specify either a dunning frequency or a number of days in arrears.

In Customizing, you can define for a dunning procedure that the days in arrears and the dunning frequency are to be calculated in accordance with a factory calendar.

Use

The specification of a dunning frequency prevents a customer receiving two dunning notices in a short space of time. This can happen if the customer has several open items that are due shortly after each other.

The basis for determining the dunning frequency is the highest dunning level of all items contained in a dunning notice.

Example

For a dunning procedure, 10 days are defined as the days in arrears for dunning level 1, and 20 days for dunning level 2.

The customer account contains two open items with due dates 1/1 and 1/5.

If you do not specify a dunning frequency, a dunning notice is created at dunning level 1 for the first open item on 1/11, and a further dunning notice for both items at dunning level 1 on 1/16, since the second item has not reached the days in arrears for the second dunning level.

The second dunning notice at dunning level 1 is prevented if you specify a dunning frequency of 10 days for dunning level 1. In that case, a second dunning notice at dunning level 2 is created on 1/21, since the days in arrears for dunning level 2 have been reached.

If you only specify a dunning frequency of 10 days for dunning level 2, and do not specify days in arrears, in this case the second dunning notice at dunning level 2 is also created on 1/21.
