Here we create the collection rules to be used later for the definition of collection
strategies
When work lists are created, the collection rules lead to a prioritization of the
business partners. The system checks the conditions of all basic rules that make
up the individual collection rule. If all conditions are fulfilled, the priority in the
worklist increases accordingly.

• Define the currency in which the amounts are to be displayed in the work
list
• Determine the time intervals with which the customers payables are to be
sorted
All specialists in a collection group collect open receivables from customers with
the same strategy. Therefore, you have to assign a collection strategy to each
collection group.

Valuation points are calculated from the key figures of the customers in
accordance with the strategy.
The system calculates the valuation points automatically based on the maximum
points derived.
Here we define the percentage valuation which leads to which priority of the
related work list item.
In the SAP standard, the priorities are distributed to the percentage valuation on
a linear basis:
For example, in the strategy we have defined we assign the valuation points in
accordance with the importance of each rule.
If a customer fulfills the first 4 rules the valuation determined by the system is 80.
The priority determined will be 1 – Very High.
Collection segments group company codes of a company from the view of SAP
Collections Management so that transaction data (open items, dispute cases,
promise 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.

Here we define 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. We 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.
Once we have assigned a profile to a business partner, we can define, for each
collection segment, the (group of) collection specialists that are to contact the
business partner in this segment.

responsible for the customer.
