Smart SAP Assistant

• Key Concepts: 
  A dunning block is a feature in the SAP FI-FIO-AR Fiori UI for Accounts Receivable that prevents a customer from being sent a dunning letter. A dunning letter is a document sent to customers who have overdue payments, informing them of the amount they owe and requesting payment. The dunning block prevents this letter from being sent, allowing customers to make payments without being reminded.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the dunning block, you must first set up the dunning procedure in the SAP system. This includes setting up the dunning levels, which determine how many days after an invoice is due that a dunning letter will be sent. Once the procedure is set up, you can then activate the dunning block for specific customers. This will prevent any dunning letters from being sent to those customers, even if their invoices are overdue.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up the dunning procedure, it is important to ensure that the levels are set correctly. If they are too low, customers may not receive enough reminders to pay their invoices on time. If they are too high, customers may be overwhelmed with reminders and become frustrated. It is also important to remember that the dunning block only applies to customers who have been specifically flagged with it; all other customers will still receive dunning letters if their invoices are overdue.
