Change credit segment for sales area -- query on impact

[Vishnu10]

Hi,

Client wants to change credit segment assigned to a sales area / company code. But there are 2 years worth of transactional data in the system for this entity. What would be the impacts of changing the credit segment now for open orders, master data, invoices posted, etc.?

Regards,
Vishnu

Hi Vishnu,

When changing the assignment of credit control area to sales area/company code it is advised to execute the report UKM_RFDKLI20, so the existing sales documents will get the new KKBER in SD tables (VBAK, LIKP, VBRK) and the credit exposure can be correctly updated.

For open invoices (FI accounting docs) the report UKM_RFDKLI20_AR can be used to update the BSEG table data.

This way the documents would reflect the new credit control area and the credit exposure would move to the credit segment mapped for CCAr.

Newly created documents would determine the CCAr per the changed assignment settings.

Related documentation:
KBA 3444618 - UKM_RFDKLI20 - Recreating SD Credit Master Data in FSCM
KBA 3431396 - UKM_RFDKLI20_AR report does not change credit control area

Best regards,
Edina

Hi Edina good summary. @Vishnu please take into consideration, that the mentioned reports UKM_RFDKLI20* are not processing very fast. I would recommend to test in Quality system before running in production to see if it is helpful to split by customer groups. kind regards Rolf

Hi Edina, thank you for the response. I transferred the open FI documents to the new credit control area in our development system. But the oldest open item, KPI, etc. in the customer master are still in the old credit segment. This data is not reflected in the new credit segment data. Is this standard? Or are there any other steps to be done for this?

Hello, In order to update the Payment Behavior Key Figures like Oldest Open Item, Highest Dunning Level, Last payment, Key Figures it is necessary to run the UKM_TRANSFER_VECTOR report.
