Imp of u201CBlocku201D indicator(Customer Credit Management Change: Status)in FD32

Dear Guru's

What is the importance of a u201CBlocku201D Indicator in (Customer Credit Management Change: Status) in FD32 transaction as per the u201CF1u201D (Help Statement) it saying

Indicator: Blocked by credit management?

With this indicator, a customer is blocked for all credit management business transactions (order acceptance, delivery, and goods issue). You can still, however, post invoices for goods which were already delivered.

But here

1. When we have activated the u201Cblocku201D indicator in FD32 (Customer Credit Management Change: Status) system is not allowing us to create the sales order.

2. After remove the u201Cblocku201D indicator in FD32 (Customer Credit Management Change: Status) we have created the sales order but system is allowing us create the sales order so we have created the sales order after creation of the sales order we have activated the Credit block again but system wonu2019t stopping us to create the delivery and PGI (post goods issue)

Dear Guruu2019s can any one please explain me the importance of the u201CBlocku201D indicator in FD32 (Customer Credit Management Change: Status) why it is not working as per the F1 (help) statement.

Dear Bhanu,

Its working gas per standard SAP and Mention in F1 .

See once you have created any document for customer and than u r putting this block it wont work for delivery & PGI. It will be only activated for the newly created order .

It wont impact on the open documents . Hope this resolve your query

also this block can be used when u want to stop any credit related transaction for particular customer

Hi Bhanu,

Its depends on your Credit management config. If you set up at order level once the credit check is completed the order and saved the document. Then if you activate the block indicator, system won't stop for transaction because Credit check is already carried. If you go in change mode and try to change the Qty or Price then system will check the Credit at that it will not allow you to save the document.

If you activated at PGI level, Once the order is completed and if you activate the delivery block system will not allow you complete the PGI transaction. Because system will check the credit at PGI level.

I hope it will clear.

Kindly let me know if you need any clarifications.

Hi Bhanu,

Once if you activate the BLOCK indicator in FD32, Its specific to customer transactions.

customer is blocked for all credit management business transactions (order saving, delivery, goods issue). You can still post invoices for goods which were already delivered that means Deliveries which has completed PGI.

I hope it will clear.

To add to Krishna,

Think of a scenario where a Customer has Credit Limit but due to some dispute you have to Block this Customer temporarily. Here you can use this indocator, where you need not change the Credit limits, just put the tick mark & system will not allow to create any documents for the Customers.

But even if you have put this block, Invoices are generally create after PGI, so system allows creation & posting of Invoices.

Hope this helps..
