Dunning Area

Dunning: It’s a nothing but a just payment reminder. The system duns the open items from business partner’s account 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 serves the dunning date determined for the items and accounts affected.

We can use dunning program for the both vendors and customers. It may be necessary to dun a vendor if he or she has a debit balance as a result of a credit memo.

Dunning level can be recognized by the dunning text. The max dunning levels are 9
