1 Define Collection Segments Assignment of Collection Segement

1> Company Code 2>Credit Segement
Collection segments group company codes of a
company from the view of SAP Collections
Management so that transaction data (open items,
dispute cases, promises to pay, ...) of a business
partner from these company codes can be
considered together. The collection segment also
determines which data from SAP Credit
Management is to be considered for customers in
this segment. For each collection segment, specify
the credit segments from which the system is to
determine, for example, the credit limit utilization of
the customer.

2 Define Collection Profiles Assignment of Collection Profile

1> Collection Segment

In this IMG activity, you determine the collection

profiles that can be assigned to the business
partners in SAP Collections Management .
Collection profiles are a grouping of collection
segments and thus split the company codes that
participate in SAP Collections Management. You
can determine how the company codes are split in a
profile and which company codes are not included
in a profile in the view Assign Collection Segments
to Profile using the function Assignment Status of
Company Codes

3 Define Collection Groups Assignment of Collection Group

1> Assign Processer to 2> Assign subtitute to
collection group Processor

In this IMG activity, you define the groups of

collection specialists that are to contact customers
in SAP Collections Management. You assign
collection specialists to each group using their user
names. Each collection specialist can also enter a
temporary substitute (for example, for vacation
or  sickness). When the specialist is absent, the
system assigns the worklist items to the substitute

1>Assign Collection Groups to Collection

Segments

In this IMG activity, you define which contact groups

are to contact business partners in the respective
collection segments .You define one of the groups
as default group. The system proposes this per
related segment when you enter a profile in the
business partner master record. This ensures that in
each segment, a group of collection specialists is
responsible for the customer.
1 Carry Out ALE Master Data Distribution

Since SAP Collections Management works with the entity Business

Partner, in this case you have to configure master data distribution
between the systems involved. This means that all customers in your
Accounts Receivable Accounting must be replicated in business
partners and distributed in the Collections Management system

You can use master data synchronization to replicate the customers.

Depending on which system you run this master data synchronization in,
there are two scenarios for the distribution model to be defined:

1 Master data synchronization runs in the accounting system.

Master data synchronization runs in the Collections Management
2 system.

Here we can define new basic rules in
addition to the basic rules delivered.
These basic rules are then used to
define collection rules

Collection Strategy: Tcode

1. Determines which customers are to be contacted in Collections
Management
UDM_STRATEGY.
2. Prioritizes the customers to be contacted on the worklist

3. Defines the currency in which the amounts are displaed on the

worklist
4. Determines the time intervals for the display of the receivables
in the due date and overdue list
5. Determines the type of the integration to dunning in accounts
receivable accounting

6. Determines the influence of the payment conditions on the

collection process (inclusion of discounts)

Defining Basic Rules

The basic rules contain conditions which are used to

determine the priority that has to be accorded to business
partners in Collection Management i.e.-high/low.

Define Collection Rules

A Collection Rule is a group of Basic Rules in Collection
Management. The spro path for defining collection rule is
given below:

Processing of Strategies
A collection strategy groups together various collection
rules. It helps to valuate the business partner based on
points assigned to each of the collection rules contained
therein, thereby determining the whether the business
partner is more likely to default and whether more emphasis
and has to be laid in following up with that particular
customer:
Creation of collection strategy is a three step procedure:
