Credit management

[Former Member]

We have requirement where the credit limit on open items(billed to customer) is 42 days. For e.g. the payment terms of a customer is say 30 days but even if the payment is not received in 30 days, 42 days credit limit is allowed to him. But in case any bill is pending on 43rd day, it should appear in credit limit and system should pop up the message of credit check. Even if the credit limit amount is not exceeded.

Pls confirm if this can be done.

Hai Kanchan,

You can want give customer 30 days credit and report needs to show due days like that.

In internal the customer credit should be 42 days rite.

Here 30 days will come from payment terms OBB8

and for grace period 12 days

In OVA8 select the risk category and 01 (sales order)

Enter value

Days Olditem : 12

Number of days the oldest open item can be overdue

At the time of sales order system check the due date and Add the grace days for oldest open item check and on 43 day system give a give popup for oldest open item.

Regards,

Mani

Hi Kanchan,

As per my understanding of the issue

if you have a credit check on oldest open items as 42 days in OVA8 screen, then if an order is created for the customer who has account receivable pending for more than 41 days then system will automatically block the order for credit irrespective of the credit limit he has. As per my knowledge we don't have any impact on credit with payment terms and no credit block will be imposed if customer has exceeded the number of days of payment terms if he has sufficient credit limit. But if you make this setting it will be applicable to all the customers who share the same credit control area, risk category and credit group.

Further if you want to have your own logic for any credit related issues, you have to use any of the below user exits

u2022 LVKMPTZZ

u2022 LVKMPFZ1: USER_CREDIT_CHECK1

u2022 LVKMPFZ2: USER_CREDIT_CHECK2

u2022 LVKMPFZ3: USER_CREDIT_CHECK3

I further suggest you to check the order created after implementing logic in the report CHECK_CM which gives the analysis of the credit check which system has evaluated for the order. As you know you can excute the above report in se38 or sa 38 transaction code.

Dear kanchan1982,

CASE 1:

If this CREDIT PERIOD of 42 days irrespective of the payment terms maintained for the customer?

CASE 2:

payment term in some billing can be 30, in some it will be 45..

is it 30 + 12 in some cases and 45 + 12 in other cases?

SOLUTION : CASE1:

If so, then in OVA8, click on OLDEST OPEN ITEM, reaction C/D, STATUS/BLOCK= checked, days oldest open item = 42.

Save the configuration.

Run f.28 for the customer code and then check.

SOLUTION :CASE2:

The solution is using user exit in SALES order.

In the thread replace "If the billing date + T052-ZTAG1 value" WITH "If the billing date + T052-ZTAG1 value+ 12"

I have worked on the same scenario and the requirement was fulfilled using the above logic.

If there is any doubt, kindly revert back.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi:

In OBB8... against this payment term please enter 42 days in No of days. Hence 12 days grace period will be given to customers on all invoiced using this payment term.
