When you create sales order for any material, system initially perform certain checks such as whether this sales order is relevant credit check or not ( which will be maintained in document type controls in VOV8)

- then it checks,wheter particular line item is eligible for credit check or not ( will be maintained in item cat controls in VOV7),

if both are satisfied, then it checks in customizing that whether credit master record is maintained in which it will search for risk category

( before that it determines credit control area from the Customer Master record- if its maintained in billing tab @ sales area of the CMR)

else it will take the default credit control area assigned to respective comp code OR sales area in IMG.

now it gets the controls such as whether automatic credit check is assigned to the doc type or simple credit check.

in both the cases, system checks the controls in OVA8- ( not sure it may be eiter OVA8 or OVZ9). then system acts according to the settings maintained.

Forgot to mention,

system takes the base amount for credit check from the pricing procedure settings- system takes the value which has subtotal "A- Credit price" maintained in Pricing procedure.

Hi Lisa,

The integration between SD and FI (Credit function). Pls check the below things for integration.

Using Credit Management, you can minimize the credit risk by defining a credit limit for your customers.

This is especially important if you do business with risk customers.

In FI they will define credit control area: Transaction code: OB45

Within credit control area the credit limit must be specified with the same currency.

Maximum permitted credit limit: The value of this field specifies the overall credit limit that the customer may receive in all credit control areas.

Individual limit: The value of this field specifies the credit limit of the customer within specified credit control

area. We can specify the currency type that the particular customer makes a transaction from this credit

control area.

Credit limit data: The amount that we enter here specifies an upper limit for the total receivables and the forcible (expecting)

receivables from the customers.

hope this helps.......regards....
