Background documentation Settings for Dunning: Overview  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

The SAP Financial Accounting component is delivered with the dunning procedure and all further specifications for dunning. Check whether you can use the predefined settings or whether you have to make changes. Assign the required dunning procedures and areas (if used) required to your business partners.

Note that some settings are company code-specific. If you do not use the company code keys delivered with the system, you must change the standard entries or make your own entries.

You can make the settings for the dunning program when you implement the system; you can however still change them at a later date. You make the system settings in three places:

In the SAP Easy Access Menu, choose Accounting à Financial accounting à Accounts receivable/Accounts payable à Master records à Create or Change then Company code data à Correspondence.

In the SAP Easy Access Menu, choose Accounting à Financial accounting à Accounts receivable/Accounts payable à Document à Change .

For more information about configuring the dunning program, see the Implementation Guide for Financial Accounting under Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable à Business Transactions à Dunning.

The following table gives an overview of the settings required:
