Every Standard FI process like Dunning and Payment and collection advice has a default way of sending there notices to the customer or vendor by post. Sending a mail is not a standard SAP functionality; in order to achieve this nonstandard Functionality we haveBTE. This is an enhancement technique (Open FI) that was developed for Financial Accounting component. This functionality is primarily used in FI in the areas of dunning, Payment advice Customer and Vendor Statement etc. Each of them has their own Function modules which will not interfere with each other.
Each of these has a BTE’s enabled to fill the FINNA-NACHA structure to determine whether the output should be sent as fax, print via post or email, i.e., if FINAA-NACHA = 1 – print via post and FINAA-NACHA = ‘I’ its email and if its ‘2’ FAX.
This Document contains how this mail functionality can be achieved by using the BTE’s for Different applications in FI.
- Application Area: FI – Accounts payable and Accounts receivable – Dunning
Application of the process BTE event ‘00001040’ –
- This process BTE is useful during a dunning run when a dunning notice needs to be sent to the customer by the medium of an electronic form (EMAIL).
As a default property, the dunning notice gets printed and is sent to the customer either by scanning the copy or via ‘POST’. - This same dunning notice could be a very beneficial if it is sent by means of electronic form directly after the dunning has been carried out.
- So, to achieve this non-standard functionality we need to enhance the standard process.
