Credit check with one payer attached with multiple payers agnst one sold pa

[saikrishna_vallurupalli]

Dear Experts,

We have the following Sales Structure in our Company.

Dealer and Direct Customers serviced through the Dealer.

Dealer pays a local Cheque/DD on be-half of the direct customers to the Company to take the goods.

This amount is booked as advance in the Dealer account who serves a few Direct Customers.

Sales Invoice is raised on the Direct customer. At this stage SAP should check the Credit limit of the Dealer and not at each of the direct customer level.

If overall credit limit of the dealer exists, then dispatch/billing can be made to any of the direct customer under this dealer.

After some days the Direct Customer pays the Company for the earlier Invoice raised. This payment has to be adjusted with the Invoice.

The Dealer earlier payment shall either be returned to him or adjusted against his Invoice (Goods are also supplied to the Dealer for his own sales)

We have tried to configure this as Payer and Sold-to-party in SAP. But we are unable to generate a Statement of Account u2013 Direct Customer wise, as the entire financial documents (Invoices) are booked against the Payer and not under the sold to party.

Can we manage this structure in SAP where individual statement of account get generated at each of the direct Customer level and also a consolidated Statement of Account at the Dealer level.

Our main requirement is Credit Check at the Dealer level while raising an Sales Order/Invoice, but accounting has to happen at the direct Customer level

Can any one give me some light, how to handle the above in SAP

Dea rSai,

This can be very well handled with Credit Account Customer functionality in FD32. Infact we are uing this currently.

Please go thru this link which has solved a problem like yours:

Thus in your case in all the Customer's FD32 screen you need to enter The Dealer's Code. This means that you will have to maintain individual Credit for these Customers. There would be a single Credit Limit set in the FD32 of Dealer & all the Customer of the Dealer will share this Credit LImit.

Hope this helps.. .

Thanks,

Dear Freind,

It will definitely work... We are using it...

The best part is that you need not link Dealers & Customer via Partner Function or Heriachy...

For a particular Customer just change the Credit Account in FD32 & the system will check the Credit limit accordingly...

Hope this helps...

Thanks,

Hi Sai,

Please kindly consider the following parameter of the billing type:

Branch/head office relationship

The indicator controls which partner functions of the billing document can be forwarded to Financial Accounting

initial :

If the payer is different to the sold-to party, the payer is transferred to Financial Accounting as the customer and the sold-to party as the branch. Any branch/head office relationship stored in FI is ignored.

A :

The sold-to party is forwarded as the customer. Any branch/head office relationship stored in FI for this customer is taken into account.

B :

The payer is forwarded as the customer. Any branch/head office relationship stored in FI for this customer is taken into account.

Note:

If the credit limit check is active, the system always reacts as described in the entry 'initial', regardless of the setting.

Thank you and best regards.
