Hi,

In SAP there are some checks available to carryout credit checks for particular customer as credit sales is common

to every business. When the credit sales granted for the particular customer, monitoring the credit history of a

particular customer is essential with every transaction.

SAP has provided two kinds of credit checks to carryout credit management functions:

(1) Simple credit check

(2) Automatic credit check

Simple credit check: In simple credit check the system compares the credit exposure with payers credit limit. The

credit exposure results from the total of the net document value and the value of the open items.

We can set the following system responses at when the credit limit has been reached.

A u2013Warning message

B u2013 Error message

C u2013 Delivery block

Specify in VOV8  Credit limit [C]

Configuration settings:

Sales documents types u2013 Credit limit check: Transaction code: OVAK

Path:

 IMG

 Sales and Distribution

 Basic functions

 Credit management/Risk management

 Simple credit limit check

 Choose sales document type OR

 Specify value

[ ] = No credit limit check

[A] = Run simple credit limit check and warning message

<b> = Run simple credit limit check and error message

[C] = Run simple credit limit check and delivery block

 Save and Exit

Define credit control area: Transaction code: OB45

Credit control area is an organizational unit that specifies and checks the credit limit for customers. A credit control

area can include one or more company codes. It means we can assign one credit control area to number of company

codes.

NOTE: Within credit control area the credit limit must be specified in the same currency.

Path:

 IMG

 Enterprise structure

 Definition

 Financial accounting

 Define credit control area

 Go to new entries

(OR)

 Choose existing credit control area

 Select it and click on copy icon

 Rename it and click on details icon

Specify currency [INR]

Update [000012]: Open order value on time axis, delivery and billing document value. This field value controls

when the values are open sales orders, deliveries, billing documents are updated in LIS. We can specify the

following update groups for updating credit related statistics.

 Update group 000012:

Sales order: Increase open order value from delivery relevant schedule lines.

Delivery: Reduces open order value from delivery relevant schedule lines.

Increases open delivery value

Billing document: Reduces the open delivery value, increases open billing document value.

Financial accounting document: Reduces open billing document value

Increases open items.

 Update group 000015:

Delivery: Increases open delivery value.

Increases open billing document value.

Financial accounting document: Reduces open billing document value

Increases open items.

 Update group 000018:

Sales order: Increases open delivery value

Billing document: Reduces open delivery value.

Increases open billing document value.

Financial accounting document: Reduces open billing document value.

Increases open items.

Fiscal year variant [K4]: It indicates specific fiscal year variant for particular credit control area. The fiscal year

variant is essential when a credit control area covers multiple company codes whose fiscal years are different. Then

the values of the open orders are updated by posting period.

Specify risk category [001]: 001 = High risk

002 = Medium risk

003 = Low risk

This risk category entered in the related control area of the customeru2019s credit master record, which is automatically

created when a customer is created in a company code.

The credit master record is automatically maintained when at least one of the below fields is maintained for the

corresponding control area.

(A) Risk category

(B) Credit representative group

(C) Credit limit

Credit limit: The credit limit that we enter here in the specific credit control area of the customeru2019s credit master

record. This is automatically created when a customer is created in a company code (in XD01).

NOTE: This credit limit is not a total credit limit for the control area.

Representative group [001]: Define credit representative group in IMG.

 All company codes: If we want to tell to the system that, this credit control area is permitted for

postings in every company code we have defined.

 Save and Exit

NOTE: After this create Risk categories and Credit representative groups and come back to this step and assign

these values to our credit control area.

Risk category and Representative group defined and maintained by FI/CO consultants in IMG.

 Assignment

 Financial accounting

 Assign company code to credit control area

 Choose our company code from position button

 Click on assign button on the application tool bar

 Select our credit control area from the list and assign it

 Save and Exit

 Go to FD32 and check whether system created customeru2019s credit master data automatically or not.

System creates customers credit master data automatically when we (FI/CO) people) configure credit control area in

IMG.

So as to perform simple credit check we have to specify customer master payers limit in the credit control area, and

create customer master in XD01 transaction code.

 Specify reconciliation account number (GL account number)

 Payment history record: Check payment history record control in payment transaction tab. It is the

control parameter to update the payment details that are made by customers and system will show the

payment details in the FD32.

 Specify the credit control area in credit control area field in billing document tab.

 Save and Exit

 Go to VA01 and raise the sales order

Check the system responses in each and every level of sales document processing and check whether the system

blocked the delivery document (due to the setting in VOV8 of OR in check credit limit field [C] = Blocked for

delivery).

 To release the delivery go to VKM4 and release the delivery document.

Automatic credit check

We can configure credit related management functions that are to be carried out by the system automatically.

System automatically carries out credit related management functions by taking some factors into consideration.

In automatic credit related functions system gets the credit exposure of a particular payer by taking factors like:

(1) Open sales orders (that are raised, yet to pass to delivery process) +

(2) Open delivery documents (that are raised, yet to pass to PGI) +

(3) Open PGI documents (that are PGI process done, and yet to pass to billing document) +

(4) Open billing documents (that are raised, but yet to pass to accounting (FI) +

(5) Attachment/Time/Horizon period. Ex: 2 Months.

Horizon period: It is the period in which system will take

Horizon period: It is the period in which system will take the above sited all open documents into consideration

that falls during this period. This time period only applies for dynamic check. It will not be applied for static. As in

automatic credit check SAP provides Dynamic and Static methods.

If our client has different business areas, we can assign each business area with credit control area.

Ex: 0001 for business area u2018Au2019.

0002 for business area u2018Bu2019.

0003 for business area u2018Cu2019.

In this case the same customer master record can have different credit limits for different business areas.

Hi,

Automatic credit control settings are maintained in "OVA8".

Areas to be checked:

1. For the sales document type in VOV8, the "check credit limit" must be "D"& "credit group" is "01".

2. In the pricing procedure for the final credit price line, maintain "A" in the sub total column. This is carried over as the "credit price".

3. In VOV7, for the item category, the "credit active" field must have a tick. If there is no tick on this, then credit check will never happen.

4. While maintaining the credit limit for the customer in "FD32", in the "status" section maintain the "risk category".

5. Now in OVA8, maintain the settings for the combination of "credit control area + risk category + credit group". The credit group should be the same as maintained in VOV8 for the sales doucment type. Inside this you have ticked against "static check" & "open orders" as well as "open deliveries" have also been ticked.

Now in the same line if you see, you have a column for reaction:

" " No message

A Warning

B Error message

C Like A + value by which the credit limit has been exceeded

D Like B + value by which the credit limit has been exceeded

Select a message according to your requirement - how do you want the SAP system to behave in case of a credit failure.

There is a column for "status/block". This is basically blocking the delivery from getting created in case of a credit check failure. But this setting makes sense only if you have selected either "A" or "C" in the "reaction" column. For "B" & "D", the sales order won't be created at all.

6. Check for the assignment of the credit control area in the customer master - sales area data - billing screen. But this is not so important, without this also the system checks for the credit check.

Check following Transactions.

1. OB38- Assign Company Code to cr control Area

2. OVFL- Assign Sales Area to Cr control Area

3. XD02 -

4. OBZK

5. OB45

6. OVAK

7. OVAD

8. OB01

9. OVA8

10. OVA7

11. FD32

12. VOV7

13. V/08 Maintain Subtotal A in pricing Procedure

14. OB45- Maintain Update -12

Hope this solves your problem.

CREDIT MANAGEMENT IN R/3

The credit management is one of the critical basic function provided by SAP R/3 SD module. This function involves integration between SD and FI

Steps in Customising.

1. Define the credit control area

2. assign the company code and sales areas to credit control area

3. define the risk categories for business partners (customers)

4. define the transaction groups and assign to the sales, delivery document

5. setup the automatic credit control by using static/dynamic methods

2ND POSSIBILITY

One company code can be assigned to only one credit control area

Credit Control Area:-

Definition : The credit control area is an organizational element defined in financial accounting. The credit control area has the following responsibilities.

1. To define the credit policy across the business

2. to define credit limit for customers/customer groups
