Credit control sales area wise

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

Sales organisation model is

my company is distributor for all manufacturers, it will take care of credit control

so we proposed a sales area which resembles like this Mumbai -glaxo- pharma,

Mumbai -Novartis- pharma(sales org-disti chnl-divison) etc.

this sales areas will contain all customer and materials of glaxo

some of the stockists are stockists for both glaxo and novartis so I extend the customer

to one more sales area

if I maintain credit control areas w.r.t to sales area wise what are the implications

will ready to be happen?

how can I monitor the total credit for the customer?

is it necessary to assign a credit control at company code level?

The process i proposed here is

I will assign credit control at sales area level

and I will maintain credit limit details at FD32

so I can assign credit controls per sales area wise for same customer .

What are the pros and cons of this process?

Waiting for replies,

Thanks

Assigning credit control area to sales area is a more specific assignment than the assignment to the company code. That's the plus point.

Further you create a customer for a sales area. Hence credit management at sales area level will help you to drill your figures up to Distribution channel & Division level.

my dear,

Here my requirement is i will not assign any credit control area at company code level

i will assign cca at sales area level only, and it is working fine.

i need the PROS & CONS when i use like this way.

To my knowledge there are no disadvantages.

Advantage is assignment of credit control area to a sales area is more specific assignment than the assignment to the company code.
