Credit control with respect to Distribution channel and division.

[Former Member]

how do we control the credit checks with specific to distribution channel and division. In our business requirement, we want the system to do credit check when a particular customer orders as retailer and not when the same customer orders as wholesaler. How to proceed?

Thanks in advance!!!

Vijay - please note that the FD32 control settings are at Payer Partner level -

please go thru the whole Credit mgt system and you will find the answer by using the Partner - PAYER -

Hi Nandu,

I think at FD32 you can maintain data only at credit control area level and not at sales area level. Moreover the customer uses same payer for both distribution channels that is, if he buys either as wholesaler or retailer the payer is going to be same.

So I need some settings to be made at sales area level.

Hi Vijay,

Credit control is possible for a Credit Control Area which in turn is assigned to Company code.

<b>You can acheive your results provided wholesale and retail sales areas are assigned to different company code.</b>

If both whole and retail sales area belong to same company code then you can have only one credit control rule you cant have different rules within a company code or within sales areas belonging to one company code.

Please reward if this is useful.

Thanks

Hi Kishore,

Thanks for ur reply. Say we are assigning one sales area to a credit control area. If you define credit control settings at sales area level then that information will be for all customers created under that sales area.

Now if we create two customers under same sales area, system should do credit check for customerA and not for CustomerB.

How to do this?

hi,

its already available in the standard. we can do credit check at the sales area level. You can take wholesale and retail as two dist. channels. Now you will have two different sales areas.

Allow the required credit. Please check the assignment part of enterprise structure in SD. by assigning your sales area to a credit contrl area you can do this.
