Update Group

The credit update controls when the values of open sales orders, deliveries, and billing documents are updated. The open order value is only updated for schedule lines that are relevant for delivery.

Update group 000012

When a Sales order is created, system increases open order value from delivery-relevant schedule lines. S066-OEIKW (S066 information structure, OEIKW- Open sales order credit value (schedule lines) ) goes up.

When order is delivered, system reduces open order value from delivery-relevant schedule lines and increases open delivery value. S066-OEIKW decreases and S067-OLIKW (Open delivery credit value) increases

When delivery document is billed system reduces open delivery value and increases open billing document value. S067-OLIKW decreases and S067-OFAKW (Open billing document credit value) increases

When billing document is released for financial accounting, system reduces open billing document value and Increases open items (S067-OFAKW decreases)

In Brief when order is created, value of S066 information structure is increased by the open order value. When order is delivered, value of S066 information structure gets decreased decreasing the open order value and value of S067 information structure gets increased increasing the open delivery value. When delivery is invoiced, value of open delivery gets decreased and value of open billing documents gets increased again S067 information structure gets affected. When billing documents are released for accounting value of open invoices gets decreased and value of open items gets increased. S067 information structure value gets decreased.

Update group 000015

When delivery is created, system increases open delivery value and open billing document value

When billing document is released for financial accounting system reduces open billing document value and increases open items.

Update group 000015 does not use open sales order value, but uses only open delivery, open invoice and accounts receivable. 000015 will be used with customers who orders high value sales orders over a long time frame in the future. You donu2019t wish to stop them placing orders, even though you wonu2019t deliver anytime soon, so you only check your companies risk that is u2013 the open delivery, billing and open items value. The open sales order value is not checked, as these orders could be cancelled or by the time. At delivery these become values we need to check.

Update group 000018

If sales order is not relevant for delivery system determines Update group 000018. This update group will be always used by order items which are billed order-related (VBAP-FKREL = B for example).

When sales order is created S067-OLIKW goes up.

When invoice is created S067-OFAKW goes up, S067-OLIKW goes down

When account posting is done u2013> S067-OFAKW goes down and A/R goes up.

When sales order is created system increases open delivery value

When billing document is created for the order, open delivery value decreases and open billing documents value increases.

When billing documents are posted for accounting open billing documents value decreases and accounts receivables increases.

Note

If a document cannot be processed with the update group we specify, the system determines the next possible update it can carry out. For example, if we select Update group 000012 which, at delivery, reduces the open order value and increases the open delivery value. Assume that one item in the order is not relevant for delivery. In this case, the system automatically determines Update group 000018 for this item. Update group 000018 increases the open delivery value for the order item. The system uses the confirmed quantity of delivery-relevant schedule lines to update the order value.

Hi Mahesh,

As I have explained you earlier value updation happens because of update group. I can explain you in still simpler terms.

Credit is evaluated based on the formula shown below:

If (Customer Credit Limit) u2013 (Credit Exposure) >= Current Document Value, then the document passes the credit check. Else, the document fails in credit check and is further blocked for subsequent processing based on the settings we make.

Credit Exposure = value of all open orders + value of all open deliveries + value of all open bills + value of Accounts Receivables

As you know open orders are the orders which are not yet delivered.

Open deliveries are the deliveries which are not yet billed.

open bills are are the invoices which are not yet sent to accounting.

Accounts receivables are the bills which have to be paid by customer.

If you take the update group 00012 when order is created system will add the netvalue of the order to the credit exposure of the payer customerthere by open orders value of the customet gets increased. Update group 000012 is effected and this will efefct S066 inforformation structure and OEIKW field gets increased. Similarly when order is delivered, open orders value gets decreased and open deliveries value gets increased. Again update group 000012 is effected and this will efefct in the decrease of S066-OEIKW field and increase in S067-OLIKW.----


and so on.

This entire updation will happen with the information structures S066 and S067 in tandem with update group.

In the Pricing procedure to the net value step we will assign a subtotal value of 'A' which will transfer the value to KOMP pricing communication structure and is helpful in updating the order price.

Hope this explains your questions.
