[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have Business partner for which dunning procedure is attached , there is no dunning lock, i have checked the dunning procedure having levels.

is there link between dunning and payment method and Lock present in Incoming Payment tab in Business Partner master data?

I would like to know where i can check for business partner last dunned? i checked in CAA3 but could not find.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Reena,

I think you are talking about contract account not the Business partner.

dunning locks are applied at contract account level or document level.

Incoming payment lock has no dependency on dunning lock.

FPM3 can be used to view dunning history.

Hi Reena,

If the contract account is in automatic payment method (for example, Giro/Direct debit, Credit card, etc.), then the system will not perform dunning. Since these are automatic payments, these are restricted from dunning.

You can check whether any open items that are eligible for dunning under FPL9 (account balance). And if there are any items that are open but they might have already reached highest level of dunning. You can check this in transaction FPM3 (dunning history) for that contract account.

Thanks,

Hi,

Items or contract accounts that have an incoming payment method but no incoming payment lock

are excluded from the dunning run.

In this case, the system assumes that the item or contract account concerned is to be paid via the payment run.

Hi All,

Thank you very much.

1. Right it is contract account and not Business Partner.

2. Till Automatic Payment method is concerned, how to recognize it is Automatic payment method.

I have payment method Z details of it

Payment Method of Incoming Pmnts : checked

Bank Account : radio button selected

FSCM Biller Direct: Biller Direct.

Is Z the Automatic Payment Method?

3. If there is Payment Method but not Payment Lock it will exclude for dunning. It means if contract account or document has to be done then Payment Lock is to be entered. If payment method is blank , then also for dunning we should put payment lock?

I checked FPM3 it gives blank. I wanted to know that if the contract account requires dunning which report I can use.

Even for dunnung history we have to put payment lock.

Hi,

Incoming payment method option can be found at Contract Account level. There in the payments tab, you can find the Incoming payment method option.

Also, for getting the items for dunning, check directly at respective document level, if the incoming payment method is set. If there is no incoming payment method set, then it should allow the items for dunning.

Generally for incoming payment method, the payment is processed on the due date, so in most cases, you will see a lock applied for preventing the item to be considered before the due date. (Prevent Early Payment).

The payment method has the relation with the dunning. As the CA is registered for incoming payment method, it is expected that the payment would be received on a timely basis on or before the due dates, so these items are not considered for Dunning purpose.

FPM3 is the transaction that shows the dunning history for that account.

Manually run FPVA for dunning proposal if the items are elligible for dunning and check in FPM3 for the entry. It the print date for the entries found is blank, run FPVB for Dunning Activity.

Hope this clears your doubt.

Hi All,

First would like to thank all to clear my doubts. I still ave one query>

for example;

contract accont ; C1

in CAA1 in Payments/Taxes tab payment method is Z.

Lock field is Blank.

have one invoice for contract account with due date 01/06/2009. It is yet not paid.

so as per dunning procedure attached to the contract account it has to be dunned.

how it will get dunned? is that the payment lock has to be applied manually? i know that FPVA is used for dunning.

Mainly want to know that when does system applies the payment lock.

so want to know exactly will this Lock field be updated Automatically has to be done manually?

Secondly, i have observed that in contract account I update the Lock field say with value 'Y',

then say i have second Invoice say due date is 15/10/2009. now if payment run is done, it will go into exception

as there will be payment lock.

I want to know that do system automatically apply lock and even remove them, exactly how payment lock works?specially for dunning.

Thanks and Regards

Reena:

Two settings on the account will prevent dunning from being executed:

A dunning lock OR an incoming payment method.

As you have mentioned, you have an incoming payment method set on the account, and therefore dunning will NOT process. YOu can can change the log information for the dunning proposal to show 'Additional data' - that will provide a message which indicates exactly what I have mentioned above.

Remove the incoming payment method from the account and then the account will dun.

regards,

bill.

Hi All,

can we reverse the transaction FPVB, that is if we have executed FPVB (Dunning Activity Run) can we reverse it.
