(Dunning Configuration is not designed. This may be configured basing

documentation.)
Define Dunning Areas
In this step, dunning areas can be defined. Dunning areas are used if several
organizational units are responsible for carrying out dunning within one company
code. These organizational units are referred to as dunning areas. The dunning area
can correspond, for example, to a profit center, a distribution channel, a sales
organization or a business area.
The individual dunning areas can use different procedures or the same dunning
procedure.
The dunning areas with the required dunning procedures are to be
entered into the customer or vendor master record if you use different dunning
procedures.
Otherwise, the system uses the standard dunning procedure. The dunning area is
then entered in the line item. The system enters the dunning area into the master
record automatically with the corresponding data.

dunning notice.
