number of days for credit limit

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to activate credit limit for one my depts. The requirement is that they would like to set up credit limit and number of days for each customer.

I do know the transactions FD32 for maintaining data but I would like to know how we can ask the user to enter number of days for each customer.

Please suggest.

Dear Rasheed,

You need to configure risk category in tcode OVA8.Consider the filed Dynamic and open order orders only and expected reaction failing of these conditions.The recation would depend on your business requirement.

Under dynamic credit control the number of days will be taken care be payment terms assigned to the customer master.

Hope it fulfils your requirement.Do revert if any other calrification is required.

Hi Sanjay,

Based on your suggestion, say for example, I create a high risk category group with 7 days limit.I will assign this in FD32 to a customer with the credit limit amount. In the transaction what payment terms should i choose to give the customer only 2 days credit limit.

Dear Rasheed,

If u want to give customer only 2 days limit your payment term should be configured accordingly so that the corresponding accounting entry will become due for payment only after 2 days.

Also note you can not configure a risk category for specfic no. of days i.e 7 days as you mentioned.The entire day level control is driven by the payment terms attached to corresponding accounting entry of customer ledger.

Dear Sanjay,

Thank you for the reply. Now lets say i copy the standard risk group given by sap and then appropriately attach the payment term to the customer. The credit limit should work as per the payment term.

Yes it will work.

After copying the limit assign the risk category to customer in tocde FD32.

Also note the following customization must be in place:

1.Assignment of control area with compnay code

2.Credit check for order types & delivery types is completed

3.Determination of active risk categories for credit check.

Hi,

Check in transaction code OVA8 , there is field Horizon and Number of days settings, there only you maintain the credit limit based on number.

Thanks,
