• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMFEES041 - Set either number of days or dunning level for fee type &1 ?

  The SAP error message FMFEES041 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the dunning process for a specific fee type in the SAP system. This error typically arises when the system requires either the number of days for dunning or the dunning level to be set for a particular fee type, but neither has been configured.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system expects certain parameters to be defined for the dunning process associated with a fee type. Specifically, it indicates that either:
  
  The number of days for dunning is not set.
  The dunning level is not set.
  
  This can happen if the fee type has not been properly configured in the system or if there are missing entries in the relevant configuration tables.
  Solution:
  To resolve the error FMFEES041, you need to perform the following steps:
  
  
  Access the Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen and navigate to the configuration for fee types. This is usually found under the path:
  SPRO -> Public Sector Management -> Funds Management -> Master Data -> Fee Types -> Define Fee Types
  
  
  
  
  Check Fee Type Settings:
  
  Locate the fee type indicated in the error message (represented by &1).
  Ensure that the dunning parameters are set correctly. You need to check:
  
  Number of Days for Dunning: This defines how many days after the due date the dunning process should start.
  Dunning Level: This indicates the level of dunning that should be applied.
  
  
  
  
  
  Set the Required Parameters:
  
  If either the number of days or the dunning level is missing, enter the appropriate values.
  Save your changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the dunning process again to ensure that the error no longer appears.
