Introduction
If your business partners may fall behind on payments. You can send
them a payment reminder or a dunning notice to remind them of their
outstanding debts.

The SAP system allows you to dun business partners automatically.


The system duns the open items from business partner accounts in which
the overdue items create a debit balance. The dunning program selects the
overdue open items, determines the dunning level of the account in question,
and creates a dunning notice. It then saves the dunning date determined for
the items and account affected.

You can use the dunning program to dun both customers and vendors. It
may be necessary to dun a vendor if he or she has a debit balance as a
result of a credit memo. If a customer is also a vendor, you can offset the
account balances against one another.

▪ Dunning Area: Dunning area are used to classify customer
or vendors into different categories based on specific criteria,
such as geography or business unit. This allows for more
customized dunning processes.

▪ Dunning Procedure: Is a Process used to remind


customers about their outstanding invoices and to
encourage them to make payments. It involves a series of
steps and actions to manage overdue accounts. Here’s
detailed explanation of the dunning procedure in SAP FICO.

▪ Dunning Keys: Dunning keys are used to control the


dunning process. They determine the intervals between
dunning runs, the dunning program to be executed and other
parameters. Dunning keys are assigned to customer or
vendor master records.

▪ Dunning Programs: SAP provides dunning programs that


you can execute to initiate the dunning process. You can
create custom dunning programs if needed.

▪ Dunning Notices: Dunning notices are the reminders send


to customers or vendors with overdue invoices. These
notices can be generated in various formats, including
letters, emails, or faxes.

▪ Dunning Run: The Dunning Run is the actual execution of
the dunning program. It identifies overdue items, selects the
appropriate dunning level for each item, and creates dunning
notices for customers or vendors.

▪ Dunning Proposal: Before executing a dunning run SAP


FICO allows you to generate a dunning program. This is
simulation of the dunning run, which shows the items that
will be dunned at each level.

▪ Dunning History: SAP FICO maintains a dunning history


that tracks all dunning activities for each customer or vendor,
helping you keep a record of communication and payment
reminders.
