Dunning Grid Usage Invoices 

Use

With this business process, you, in the role of the distributor, can dun the open receivables of the invoicing service provider (for example, the supplier) if payments are late or if they have not been made at all.

SAP Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) supports you via automated dunning processing (also see the business process Dunning).

The business process Dunning Grid Usage Invoices is very similar to Dunning. However, in this business process, if you dun the open receivables in the invoicing service provider’s account, the relevant individual receivables are also taken into account at individual customer level at the same time.

A special dunning form with enhanced item descriptions is also available with this business process. You can use the form to determine the balance of the supplier’s account as well as all open individual receivables with the corresponding dunning levels.

Prerequisites

You have due, open individual customer receivables that have been sent to an invoicing service provider. The due date of the individual receivables was defined in the corresponding service provider agreement.

Process Flow

 

The following process runs in SAP R/3:

...

       1.      Create dunning proposal

You can create a dunning proposal in a dunning proposal run. In a dunning proposal run, the overdue items from the supplier’s account are compared against the open individual receivables. If due receivables at individual account level have a dunning block (due to a complaint, for example), they can be excluded from the dunning notice.

       2.      Process dunning activities

Once you have successfully executed a dunning proposal run, you can execute the dunning activity run. This creates the relevant dunning forms and posts the dunning charges at supplier account level.

Result

An updated dunning history exists. Dunning charges documents may also exist. Dunning charges are posted to the account of the service provider that invoices the contract.

The following tasks may arise after a successful dunning run:

·        Send dunning notices

·        Submit receivables to collections agency
