How to manage two credit limits for one customer in same sales area ?

[Yacine1]

Hi everyone, 

I want to manage two credit limits for the same customer in one sales area , I’ve created two credit controls area and two credit segment ( ZY01 ) (ZY02) . 
Let say we create a sales order with two items ( A = finished good ) , item b ( packaging) , the requirement is item A should fallow the first segment ZY01 and the item B with the segment ZY02 … 

If any checks failed system would block sales order creation. 

Ps : item A and b have different item category 

hope it was clear 

thanks .

Hello,
You will not be able to assign items of the same sales document to different credit control areas/credit segments. The assignment happens on header level (VBAK-KKBER) not in VBAP. Maybe your logic permits different sales document types? If yes, try FM EXIT_SAPFV45K_001 - "User Exit for Determining the Credit Control Area" . This exit is called before the customizing entry to assign a sales area to a credit control area. We use it in ERP6 to assign sales order types (new machines vs. spare part business) to different credit control areas. The exit has VBAK and VBKD as parameters. 
In S/4 the credit control area determination still works as first step.Assignment to FSCM credit segments is the second step and unique from credit control area point of view.

How system differentiate between these two materials at customer level. Credit limit is based on the Customer not the material master. I would not recommend this Business requirement

Ur right , let me give a quick exemple for this case :

let say the customer have two credit limits one for finished good segment 1 = 10000 eur 

the 2nd one for packaging ( pallet , bottle ) segment 2 = 5000 eur 

We create a sales order for this customer the requirements is that the système should check both credit limits if any one failed système throw error .. that’s why I said we gonna use two item cat for finished good and packaging

Hello, 

I would suggest to have different Payment terms for Finished Goods and packaging Items. 

Separate Payment Terms can be set in Basic Price Condition Record or you can perform a small development - say for Packaging Item (category) in Sales Order a particular Payment Term is set. 

Thanks,

Credit check will always happen per customer and billed sales value and not based on material.  Having said that, you need to go with custom validation but I would not recommend to accept this requirement from Business.
