Hi Vishal,

While Creating a Credit Control Area we maintain the Update group for the same. The path is IMG> Enterprise Structure> Definition>Financial Accounting>Define Credit Control Area. Here we maintain the Update group against each Credit control area.

The update group controls when the values of open sales orders,

deliveries, and billing documents are to be updated.

Now the update groups -

a) Update group 000012

o Sales order

- Increases open order value from delivery-relevant schedule lines

o Delivery

- Reduces open order value from delivery-relevant schedule lines

- Increases open delivery value

o Billing document

- Reduces open delivery value

- Increases open billing document value

o Financial accounting document

- Reduces open billing document value

- Increases open items

b) Update group 000015

o Delivery

- Increases open delivery value

- Increases open billing document value

o Financial accounting document

- Reduces open billing document value

- Increases open items

c) Update group 000018

o Sales order

- Increases open delivery value

o Billing document

- Reduces open delivery value

- Increases open billing document value

o Financial accounting document

- Reduces open billing document value

- Increases open items

Hope the above helps you.

Do let me know for any other clarifications on the same.

REWARD if it helps you!!

Hi

The credit relevant data is updated into an information structure, where it is accessed andupdated. Thus each automatic credit control must be assigned an update group. The system allowsfor no update, and update group 000012, 000015 and 000018.

The difference between the three update groups is as follows:

Update group 000012

Sales order: Increases the open order value from delivery-relevant schedule lines

Delivery: Reduces the open order value from delivery-relevant schedule lines and increases the open delivery value

Billing document: Reduces the open delivery value and increases the open billing document value

Financial accounting document: Reduces the open billing document value and increases open items

Update group 000015

Delivery: Increases the open delivery value and increases the open billing document value

Financial accounting document: Reduces the open billing document value and increases open items

Update group 000018

Sales order: Increases the open delivery value

Billing document: Reduces the open delivery value and increases the open billing documentvalue

Financial accounting document: Reduces the open billing document value and increases open items

The decision on which update group to use is based upon the business requirements; however,

update group 000012 is thorough and used in most businesses.
