Manage Collection Strategies - Days before due date

[Crocha]

Hello!

I'm having a little trouble understanding the "Days before due date" configuration.

Does it influence the collections worklist like the other rules?

For example, if I setup 7 "days before due date" in collection strategies and post a billing document due within 6 days, does it appear in the collections worklist?

Thanks in advance,

Best regards.

These settings influence the calculation of the Amount To Be Collected (which, in turn, can become part of the Collections Strategy via the appropriate Collection Rule).

Example:

A Business Partner has a receivable with the following due dates:

100,00 with terms of payment 3% in 10 days, 2% in 20 days, net due in 30 days. Baseline date is 05/01.

Scenario 1: Consideration of due date for cash discount, consider 6 days before due date.

• From 05/05 to 05/11: 97,00 to be collected
• From 05/15 to 05/21: 98,00 to be collected
• From 05/25: 100,00 to be collected

For the due date grid, to 05/11 the conditions for the due date for cash discount 1 are used, to 05/21 the conditions for cash discount 2, and from 05/22, the conditions for net payment.

Scenario 2: No consideration of due date for cash discount, consider 6 days before net due date.

Here, total amount of 100,00 is to be collected from 05/25. The due date grid considers only the the due date for net payment.

Thank you very much, the "Amount to be collected" rule was the missing piece.
