Posting Overdue Items 

Usage

You now post the overdue items for your customer. This customer will then be selected in the next dunning run.

You post the invoice directly in Financial Accounting, there is no integration with the Sales and Distribution application. This makes it easier to post backdated invoices.

Prerequisites

Tax code AN (16%) is automatically defaulted for company code 1000 and S1 for company code 3000. We have also created a screen variant with a business area to be used as a work template. The ready-for-input columns are the G/L account, the posting key, the amount, the amount currency, and the business area.

    To simplify this process, we have not defined a cost element for account 800200, which means that you do not need to assign a CO object, for example, an order number. You do not therefore need an additional account assignment. The system does not transfer the data to Profit Center Accounting.
