A,B,C are Customers belongs to Corporate Business Group D . If any customer payment is overdue say eg: A is not paid on Due date according to Payment terms , System has to throw error message while creating Sales Orders of A ,B &C even B& C are paid on due date.

We have tried to configure the system through automatic control , Overdue based on Credit Control area , risk Category , Customer Group , It works only the particular customer 'A ' only not for B &C .

But we required to stop sales order creation B&C also belongs to Corporate Group D .

We appreciate if throw some light ........,

Hi,

We had a similar kind of requirement.I've done the below settings

1) Create A,B, C and D as customers.

2) IN FD32 for A, B and C, assign D as the Credit Account in the Status Screen.

3) Maintain credit limit for D alone.

4) Whenever a Sales order is created for A, B or C it will update the Credit data of D.

5) Once credit limit exceeded, System will give Error or warning message based on your settings in OVA8.

Try using customer hierarchies setup in credit management. Also, are you using old credit management or the new SAP credit management (part of FSCM)?

First of all , Thanks everybody.

I have tried to review days , Next review days etc , but its not meeting above said business sceanrio.

Kapil : We are using traditional Credit management ver 4.7 , Not FSCM. Can you some more thought on how to use Customer Hierarchy in Credit management for above said in my question posting scenario.

If any body wants , any clarification on issue above posted , please feel free to get in touch.

Hi Kuru,

Please go to OVA8 t-code for automatic credit control. in this screen for automatic credit control. you should define the number of days field (RVTOL) and next review date field check box should be selected, reaction:A, block: should be checked in your credit control arearisk categorycredit group combination.

Additionally, you should create the customer credit control data for A, B, and C customers in FD32 t-code and in FD32, your credit control arearisk categorycredit group combination should be the same for those customers. By this way, these configs provide the system to give a credit check warning and block your sales doc. for all customer in specific sales doc. type.

I hope these will meet your requirement.

Thanks Ajit .

If Credit Limt maintanace at Group 'D' level . It works fine . But the requirement is All Individual Customers has its own Credit Limits .

If we go for assignmen of Credit Account , we can not maintain individual Credit Limits.

Hello Kuru,

Go by the solution given above, i.e. Change Credit Account in FD32 of A, B & C. Thus ths system will check Credit Limit of D & you cannot maintain individual Credit Limits for A, B & C.

Now, after doing the above setting, go to FD32 or A & go to the Central Data screen. Here enter the Total & Individual Amounts (which would be the individual Credit LImit of A). Simiarly follow t he same for B & C.

Hope this helps...

Thanks,

Hi Jignesh,

I'v tried as per your suggestion. I've maintained 10Lacs as credit limit for D. For A I have assigned a credit limit of 10000 and Created as Sales order for 6.5 Lac. I am not getting any message of Credit limit exceeding. Did I miss something?

I feel once a different code is assigned as Credit account, these fields will not have any importance.Please correct me if I am wrong.
