Dear Gurus,
I have a requirement from my client.
They are currently having domestic and export sales and credit check is carried out based on number of days and volume both. Payment terms are different for domestic and export customers. For this, they are telling to create two credit control areas..one for domestic and another for export. Because for export, they need to track the payment terms and credit of the customer.
Can you please tell me what extra advantages I can have by creating two credit control areas? It is mandatory to create the same. Shall I get any benefits in terms of any reports or any other things from credit management or SD perspective?
From FI point of view, what would be the default one? We shall mark the overwrite cc field while defining CCA for reporting purposes.
Please give your valuable suggestions and comments.
Thanks in advance.

In your case I do not see why your customer would decide to have two separate credit control areas for the same company code. Different credit control areas are created when you have more than one credit control department and each credit control deparment manages the credit data (even if they have the same customers) separately. In your process the customer is either domestic or export .
Your client can simply use different risk categories if domestic and export customers share the same document types or use different document credit groups if you use document types specific for export process.
It is a bit tricky to handle more than one credit control area for a single company code, because when you receive customer payment not referring to a specific document, you do not know for which credit control area is this.
In case you really need to set up 2 credit control areas for one company code I would suggest to leave the credit control area as blank and use some FI validation - it is better not to update something than to have incorrect updates and be unable to trace which of the 1000X documents is posted with wrong data.
