Dunning with SAP Smart Forms 

Use

With Release 4.6C, you can choose whether to create your dunning notices using SAP Smart Forms or - as before - with SAPScript.

For more details about printing forms using SAP Smart Forms, see the Release Note for SAP Smart Forms.

The SAP standard system contains one sample SAP Smart Form for dunning: F150_DUNN_SF.
The form can be used for all dunning levels, and also for the legal dunning procedure.
You can change this form to meet your requirements, or use SAP Smart Forms to create as many forms as you require. You make these settings in Customizing for dunning (see below).

Effects on System Administration

Note that if you wish to include texts, you no longer enter underscores using the order &UNLINE&, but simply as "_".

Effects on Customizing

The standard settings allow for creating dunning notices using SAPScript. If you wish to print your dunning notices using SAP Smart Forms, you must first define the corresponding function module.
1. In Customizing for Financial Accounting, choose Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Business Transaction Events.
The SAP Business Framework screen appears.
2. Choose Settings -> P/S function modules -> ... of an SAP appl. .
3. Under the Business Transaction Event (BTE) "1720" with application indicator FI-FI, change the function module in FI_PRINT_DUNNING_NOTICE_SMARTF and save your entries.
You can now use SAP Smart Forms for dunning.
1. Define or change the forms using SAP Smart Forms in Customizing for Financial Accounting under Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Business Transactions -> Dunning -> Printout -> Define Dunning Forms (with SAP Smart Forms) .
2. Make all other Customizing settings for printing the dunning notices as before.
Note
When form names are entered in Customizing for dunning, the system checks for SAPScript form names; when entering a form with SAP Smart Forms, ignore the warning that the form does not exist.
