Hi Guruveer,

You can assign a Company Code to Credit Control Area or to be more specific you can assign a Sales Area to Credit Control Area. While entering a Sales Order the system would first check if the Sales Area is assigned to a Credit Control Area and if no then it would check if the company code is assigned to a Credit Control Area. Remember the prirority is for the Sales Area and then the Company Code.

For assigning the Company Code to Credit Control Area follow the path SPRO -> Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Financial Accounting -> Assign Company Code to Credit Control Area.

For assigning the Sales Area to Credit Control Area follow the path SPRO -> Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Sales and Distribution -> Assign Sales Area to Credit Control Area.

Hi Guruveer

Organizational unit in an organization that specifies and checks credit limits for customers. A credit control area can include one or more company codes. It is not possible to assign a company code to more than one credit control areas.

Thanks

Hi Guruveer

Credit and risk management takes place in the credit control area. According to your corporate requirements, you can implement credit management that is centralized, decentralized, or somewhere in between.

An organizational unit that represents the area where customer credit is awarded and monitored. This organizational unit can either be a single or several company codes, if credit control is performed across several company codes. One credit control area contains credit control information for each customer.

For example, if your credit management is centralized, you can define one credit control area for all of your company codes.

If, on the other hand, your credit policy requires decentralized credit management, you can define credit control areas for each company code or each group of company codes.

Credit limits and credit exposure are managed at both credit control area and customer level. You set up credit control areas and other data related to credit management in Customizing for Financial Accounting. The implementation guide is under Enterprise Structure -> Definition or Assignment -> Financial Accounting and then Maintain credit control area. You assign customers to specific credit control areas and specify the appropriate credit limits in the customer master record.

Settings for determining the credit control area of a document. The settings of items 1 - 4 are taken into account according to their priority. The credit control area found is stored in field VBAK-KKBER.

The following types of credit checks can be carried out:

Static credit limit check

Credit allocation depends on the total value of open orders, deliveries, billing documents and open items.

Dynamic credit limit check

The dynamic check includes both a static part which checks all open items, deliveries and billing documents and a dynamic part which checks all outstanding order values, that is, all orders not yet delivered or partially delivered. The value resulting from the checks is accumulated up to the shipping date in the information structure "S066" in freely definable time units or periods (day, week, month). This information structure is entered in Logistics Controlling and described in the section "Carry out default settings for credit management" under Basic functions.

To define the credit check, you specify a certain number of relevant periods from which a date in the future can be calculated (for example, 10 days or 2 months depending on the selected period). This ensures that sales orders which lie further in the future are not used to determine the credit exposure.

The total of the static and dynamic part of the check must not exceed the granted credit limit.

Credit check on the basis of the maximum document value

The sales order value or the value of goods to be delivered must not exceed a certain value defined for the credit check. The value is stored in the currency of the credit control area. In particular, this check is useful if the credit limit of new customers has not yet been specified. This check can be accessed explicitly by a risk class reserved for new customers.

Credit check when changing critical fields

The credit check is started when changes are made to credit-relevant document fields so that they differ from the default values proposed from the customer master record (terms of payment, value days and fixed value date).

Credit check at the time of the next internal check

The credit check is started automatically on a certain date. All sales orders entered up to this time are regarded as not critical.

Credit check on the basis of overdue open items

The ratio between open items, which are overdue by more than a certain number of days, and the customer balance must not exceed a certain percentage.

Credit check on the basis of the oldest open items

The oldest open item may only be a certain number of days overdue.

Credit check against maximum allowed dunning levels

The dunning level of the customer may only assume a certain maximum value.

Customer-specific credit checks

If you require further checks to those defined in the standard system, you can define them in the corresponding user exits (LVKMPTZZ and LVKMPFZ1).

Requirements

In the No Check field, you can enter the number of a requirement with which you can control when credit checks are not carried out. You can deactivate some or all checks. This allows fine tuning on an individual basis for defining credit-relevant transactions and when credit checks do not need to be carried out.

You can also reset the credit document status.

Requirements are stored as routines. For further information on routines, see the IMG of SD under Routines. The two following example routines are supplied in the standard system. You can display and edit them using transaction VOFM:

1 Order

2 Delivery

You can copy and change these routines according to your own requirements. The routines contain different example scenarios in which credit checks would not be carried out.

You can have the followings credit limit check :-

Static

Depends on the customer total value of open orders, deliveries, billing documents and open items.

Open items

No of days open

Overdue open items checks is based on the ratio of open items that are overdue by a certain number of days.

Max open items %

The customer balance must not exceed a certain percentage.

Oldest open items

If you don't want to deliver to the customer at all when even only 1 invoice is overdue.

Tick the Check for Oldest Open Item and Set the field Days oldest item = 1.

Days oldest item

No of days allowed for overdue or payment terms.

Use of the credit check Oldest Open Item. If a user attempts to alter the order quantity of a released sales document

that was previously blocked, it would be reblocked again by the system. The system only reblocks the sales document if the new order quantity is above a certain % amount.

Released documents are still unchecked

The preset % is whatever you want to set it as when configuring your automatic credit processing. You enter a deviation % and number of days,eg, you can set it so that an order can be changed by up to 10% within 30 days of original order entry date without it going back on credit block.

Next Review Date

If a customer has a credit limit of 1000 USD, and you would like to restrict this credit limit only to be available in current month (say March). If the document day is in April then the credit limit is zero.

You can use the "NextReview date" and "Number of days" fields and combined it with the "Last int.review" field in customer credit master "Status" view (FD32).
