Dear Ravi,

In Beverage industry, an item will be having a BOM as below.

ITEM XXX: 10 BTL

- Full materials

- Bottles 10 PC

Here, you will be treating BOTTEL as empty.

Please note, credit limit will be set either at the credit control area level or at the customer master level, not at the material master level. In case of maintaining the credit limit at the customer master level, we will be using the transaction FD32, and maintain the credit limit for the customer.

In order to make the EMPTIES as credit relevant - ensure that the item category determined for empties have the indicator CREDIT ACTIVE in transaction VOV7 as active.

Also, ensure that the TRANSFER OF REQUIREMENTS indicator is avitvated for your schedule line category and the requirement class determined for empties.

If you have set up the above mentioned configuration, empties will be taken into consideration for the credit checks. thanks.

Hope this clarifies.

Thank you
