Credit Management ...

Hi gurus...

We want to implement Centralised Credit Check in our organisation.While doing the testing in Development server, we face a problem that system is not checking the credit limit at any level ( Order, delivery, PGI) when the credit limit actually crosses the assigned limit of that Customer. Once the limit crossed, only then the system responds.

My requirement is to do Automatic credit check, in order system should give the warning that limit crossed and block the delivery.

Hello,

You may check the following:

1. In SPRO or tcode OVA8 (maintenance of automatic credit control), you can actually see if static or dynamic is active, the reaction and on what grounds will it be blocked or not.

2. Also, try checking the item categories of the material used (like TAN or TANN), credit check should be ticked and should be active, thus, everytime you process sales for that materials, it will update and affect credit check.

Thanks, hope this helps.
