credit management for linked customer and vendor

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus

We have a scenario where Customers are vendors as well and we like to implement credit management. CM should be applicable on both customer and vendor both side at the same time and decide whether this party falls under credit risk or not? exmp. if customer owes us 1000 and we owe him 1200 then he will not fall in high risk but if we owe him 800 then he should be stopped from buying from us.

appreciate your input

Thanks

Hi Hiren,

The answer to you is so sipmle..you dont have to woory abt it...SAP is having all the provisions for it when they ve designed it...

Simply go the the csutomer master , and select control data tab...enter the vendor number there,,remember this should be the vendor which you want to adjust his account with. Now go to company code data and check the option "Clearing with vendor" .

Simillarly go to Vendor master, and control data tab, enter the customer number there. Also go to company code data, and check the "Clearing with customer" checkbox.

By doing the above simple configuration, you can be able to offset the amounts receivables/ payables between ur vendor and customer. This will be useful in cases where the customer acts as a vendor or vice versa.

Hi

As per my understanding i am suggesting the below process to configure:

1. Customer and vendor should be linked in the repective master data( Xd01General dataControl---Vendor)

2. Maintain the credit linit for the customer in FD32

3.when ever you make an entry in the vendor master the entry has to pass to the customer account in the special G/l account

that special G/l account should be ticked for rel for credit in t code OBXR .This activity will be e done with consultation of FI .

BY doing the above the system will show the vendor amount entry in the customer account and that will show in the special liabilities in the credit management against the customer in FD32.

when ever you raise the order the system will consider that amount into consideration.

if you have any further clarifications let me know

Hii

Kindly go to T code OBXR and maintain for D customer only and tick the rel for credit for the G/L account in that

KIndly consult with FI to transfer the Vendor amount to that customer special G/L account .after that it will show into the credit management liabilities in FD32

Hi

Can you ask your FI guy that the vendor amount should be posted in the customer special G/L account. check the below points

Once the posting is done then system will update liabilities in FD32 which are in special G/L
