Credit control

[Former Member]

we want to setup credit limit control.

We have three customers, which are belong to same group, say HSBC, HSBC trading, HSBC logistics, currently we set 1 million for HSBC credit limit, 0.5 mil credit limit on HSBC Logistics, but when we create Sale order to HSBC logistics, we want credit limit check against credit limit for HSBC, which is 1 mil in this case, (not ceck against credit limit 0.5 mil)

any configuration or master data we need to set up in the system?

Dear Siva

For the same please see the credit limit for group of customer, means in Credit Master assign HSBC to both other Customer in this way they will have single credit limit account.

Go to FD32

Now Edit>Change Account.

And here you assign the Head Customer i.e. HSBC in your case.

This way you can resolve your issue!

Thanking you!

Dear Siva

Thanks for your reply, yes this behavior is absolutely correct. One more thing you can do, Run TCODE F.28, provide your customer and credit control area, uncheck test run, select the radio button Recreate FI and SD Data.

This process will bring all the open orders, deliveries,line item to your new changes i.e. Head Customer,but only open ones.

Thanking you!

I dont know who has given you such requirement, it seems slimy.

You cannot have credit limit of customer B exercised based on the credit limit maintained for customer A.

At first place, this is not possible in standard SAP. If you want, you can do that using custom code. But I dont know what will be achieved by such a functionality. At one stage, you dont know which customer credit is checked against which credit limit.

I hope I am not grossly wrong in understanding the requirement. If I am wrong somewhere, my apologies and please correct me.

I think this can be achievable through SAP, since customer B belongs to customer A.

Hi siva,

         please confirm y do you want to interlock the Credit Limits when you are maintaining Individual Credit limits.morever on what logic you need this requirement.

If you want to check against HSBC, then why you want to provide separate limit for HSBC logistics?

As explained below by Ashish, you can link "son" customer numbers to "father" (HSBC) and use father credit limit.
