Reply from Subhadeep on Sep 9 at 8:58 AM Hi,
Ok, here's what I think can be done. As you highlight the below point
a) immediate receipt of advance and
b) immediate receipt of balance upon my proof of dispatch of material to
the customer
Here I am reasonably assuming that the entire trading cycle of the goods
sold is within an 24 or may be 48 hours.
In this case as a process I would recommend is
1. Open a separate category of vendor recon a/c which will have a feature
like "EOD reconciliation of open items"...little abaping.
2. Set up a dunning procedure which will automatically trigger an e-mail
notice for those open items which have exceeded the trading cycle of
24/48hrs. Posting date & Time log will be required to prepare such trigger.
This can be an EOD feature also not requiring user intervention, a standard
reminder.
Otherwise as you had mentioned "fair picture of overdues", if the
requirement is only about keeping a control on the overdue items and
not reminder to the cust, then probably the very purpose of dunning may get
defeated.
Please let me know if I am anywhere close to your requirement. :)
Best Regards,
Subha

Hi Subha
Perhaps you have a point there.
But, what if my customer / vendor is regular and I have repeated frequent
transactions? Moreover, I am at a loss to comprehend the edge I can get for
dunning by defining the business partner on one time basis.
Moreover, the point that perplexes me is a bit different.
I have assigned to a regular customer a payment term which does not harp
on credit terms specified explicitly in number of days / fixed calendar
day. Instead, the term is split into percentages based on explicit
conditions such as a) immediate receipt of advance and b) immediate receipt
of balance upon my proof of dispatch of material to the customer and these
terms do not involve a credit term indicated in days. But a dunning
procedure , on the other hand , considers a defaulted payment ( as dunnable
overdue ) measured based on time ( viz. number of days' overdue ).
Here I am in a situation where I use payment terms which do not consider
time ( in number of days ) as a parameter vis-a-vis a dunning procedure
which essentially uses time ( in number of days ) as a significant
parameter. This could possibly result in immediate dunning. Am not sure if
such dunning would give me a fair picture of overdues. To be more precise,
1. I might dun a customer for 80 USD ( invoice raised ) even though I have
not supplied the material yet
2. I might dun yet another customer for 80 USD ( invoice raised ) toward
material supplied
Both events ( that includes invoicing and dunning relating to both
customers) might happen on the same day.
Is my dunning process fair enough is what perplexes me. I am afraid ,
Subha, that your response does not seem to address my issue. Any ideas, now
that I have explained my situation in more detail ?
Thanks and Regards
