Difference between fields VBAK-CMPS_CM and VBAK-CMGST

[SAPSupport]

We would like to know the difference between the following two table - fields with example
1. VBAK-CMPS_CM
2. VBAK-CMGST

We have gone through Note 3196063 but could not get details as to how the above two fields are populated.

Can you provide us details / examples as to how the above two fields are populated and in what scenario the two fields might be having different value ?

Hello,

VBAK-CMGST = Overall credit status of sales order
VBAK-CMPS_CM = SAP Credit Management (FSCM) credit status

In the past (ECC Classic Credit Management) there were status fields for all individual credit checks (e.g. Static, Dynamic, Overdue items) and these were used to determine the overall credit status (if any individual check fails, then overall status is blocked).

With FSCM the credit check steps are all collected under the check rule.
If any check step (Static, Overdue, Max. document value etc.) is failing, then VBAK-CMPS_CM will have 'B' blocked value and accordingly VBAK-CMGST will be 'B'.

The overall credit status field is used by additional functionality in risk management as well. So VBAK-CMGST can be 'B' if:
- FSCM Credit Management fails
- Payment card authorization fails
- Financial Document (letter of credit) check fails
<< Normally one of these is checked on an order at once

Assuming that you use SAP Credit Management only (no payment card or LOC check) the VBAK-CMGST and VBAK-CMPS_CM can have different status if you have released the sales order.
Then VBAK-CMGST = 'D' (released), but VBAK-CMPS_CM will remain 'B' to keep a record that credit block happened.

KBA 3196063, 2898525 (+ notes these reference) are discussing this topic and KBA 2788718 is a general FSCM configuration guide.
