How system calculate dunning level


     Dunning level is a configuration in dunning proce
dure. First, you have to know what is setting in your current dunning procedure. Assume that dunning procedure is setting as below:

Dunning Level 1 = Due Date

Dunning Level 2 = 30 days overdue

Dunning Level 3 = 60 days overdue

Dunning Level 4 = 90 days overdue

Net due date of document is on 4 February 2015.

Dunning date is on 7 March 2015.

     The easiest way to count days after due date is to call report FBL1N/FBL5N. In this report, you can change report layout to add field “net due date” and “arrear after net due date”. 

     From sample above, these 2 documents overdue for 31 days. These documents will be determined as dunning level 3 (over 30 days but not over 90 days).
