Credit management functionality

[Former Member]

Hi, Iam a bit confused by reading the help.sap.com on this issue. My questions are.

1 ) I need to understand that from sales document the information is transfered to info structure S066 and S067. What the system does with the data in S066 and S067 ?

2a) If there is a credit block in sales order (credit exposure > credit limlit) on 16.8.10 and suppose on next day on 17.8.10, the payment is received from customer. How does the system reduces the credit exposure ? When the payment is posted, does the system automatically at the same time reduces the credit exposure in FD32 and S066/S067 ?

2b) When the credit exposure is reduced on receiving the payment, does the system automatically removes the credit block from the sales order or do we have to run any report for removing the block ?

3) The system compares the credit limit with credit exposure. The system looks for credit limit from FD32 . I need to know from where the system picks the credit exposure from ? Is the credit exposure picked up from FD32 only or S066/S067 ??

Hi,

All your question have same answer, in the automatic check you have update group 00012, 00015 and 00018. These group are responsible to upade the LIS table S066 and S067.

Update group 00012 updates S066.

Update group 00015 and 00018 updateds S067.

Again this has combination of Credit control area + risk category+ Credit group + Update group.

Hence the subtotal field in the pricing procedure have "A" which intrun updates the net value of the document to there LIS table agin based on the Automatic credit control setting.

One more thing the Credit control has the credit limit value and this automatic setting take care this in back ground to check the LIS table value against the credit control limit.

Pls let me know if you need more help.

Hi Mauryan,

Many thanks for the inputs. However my below two questions remain unanswered.

2a) If there is a credit block in sales order (credit exposure > credit limlit) on 16.8.10 and suppose on next day on 17.8.10, the payment is received from customer. How does the system reduces the credit exposure ? When the payment is posted, does the system automatically at the same time reduces the credit exposure in FD32 and S066/S067 ?

2b) When the credit exposure is reduced on receiving the payment, does the system automatically removes the credit block from the sales order or do we have to run any report for removing the block ?

hi,

Ok in this case

1)There are two thing to be noted, if your are clearing the AR (accounts receivables) then we assume the customer have settled the accounts. This will clear the amount from the open items.

This can seen in the payment history.

2)Case 2 since the credit always depends on the open items, once we issue the credit memo and issue the invoice for this credit memo the amount is posted as negative value. During the settlement of the accounts this is taken care. So the credit limits remains the same for this case.

To conclude the only open item will be calculated for the credit and as this increases the credit used percentage decreases.

If there is delivery block due credit please release the document using the VKM5 and then remove the delivery to process the document. This release of delivery will still hold good for the credit exposure and keep a track till it is released to the accounting. You can check this in FD32 payment history.

Rgds,

Mauryan.
