The procedure used when a business partner falls into arrears is defined in a dunning procedure. The structure of a dunning procedure is very individual and depends on the business area of the company concerned, the type of object for dunning, and the relevant legal conditions.

You can assign the dunning procedures defined in the system to contract accounts or to individual open items. The dunning procedures are used by the dunning proposal run to assess whether a business partner or a contract account contains items due for dunning.
