3721924 - Scheduled output items remain in "To Be Output for Dunning Notices / Feature Not Active in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

  • In the "Output Parameter Determination (OPD)" app, the dispatch time for dunning notices is configured as "Scheduled".
  • Output items are successfully created but remain indefinitely in the "To Be Output" status.
  • No corresponding automatic background/batch job pick up or execute these scheduled dunning output items.
  • Attempting to manually trigger or process a single dunning item directly from the output monitor has no effect; the status remains "To Be Output".
  • This behavior deviates from other areas (such as billing documents), where "Scheduled" output is processed seamlessly via standard background job.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

For dunning notices, the scheduled output feature is currently not implemented as an active application functionality.

Resolution

This behavior is a known limitation within the Dunning process. Currently, the "Scheduled" dispatch time in the "Output Parameter Determination (OPD)" app is not supported for dunning notices and cannot process output items under this configuration.

A Customer Influence Program (CIP) request to address this limitation in future release has been raised.

To influence the prioritization of this feature and track its development progress:

  1. Access the following CIP request link: Improvement Request - Possibility to execute scheduled output for printing dunning notices
  2. Cast your vote to demonstrate business impact and track updates regarding the planned delivery schedule.
