Hi all..

1) In auto credit check (OVA8), We can set the check against open items. I went thru its help. But couldnt understand much. Can anyone please explain it for me?

How to define that ratio? what if it is 10% and what if 50% or 90%. How the system reacts to that?

2) I have the requirement that the item could be due (unpaid) till the customer's payment term. If its crossing that no. of days, then it shud place the credit block. How can u use 'open items' check for this requirement?

-Thanks. Prashant

Hi Karnesh.

Your reply makes sense. Thank you.

But payment terms would be diffrent for differenet customers. And thru OVA8, we cant define the check differently for each customer. Then how to deal with this?

You can have the followings credit limit check :-

Static

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

<b>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.</b>

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).
