The integration of CRM service orders has not yet been implemented. Procedure 1. Use either the full update or the delta update. You can collect, manage, and analyze credit information from connected systems and components centrally; this architecture also enables you to distribute and use the credit information effectively in the systems and components connected.
For a list of the interfaces used, see Service Interfaces: [page 13]. Overview [page 13] The exchange of messages can be made using SAP NetWeaver Process Integration PI in the following or — for all synchronous and for certain asynchronous service interfaces — direct using the Web Services Reliable Messaging protocol as point to point connection.
For a one system landscape, you are advised to use the simplified Web service configuration with a local shortcut. For more information, see SAP Note Call up the documentation, and select process component Credit Management. The following figures give you an overview of the use of individual service interfaces for data exchange in SAP Credit Management. If you experience errors, or not all of the settings detailed below are automatically activated, you have to perform individual steps manually.

Enter the URL, the computer name, and the port name of the receiver system. Save your entries, and check the connection by pinging the receiver system via the sender system.
For additional information about this, see the section Connecting the Systems for Multiple System Scenarios [page 22]. Procedure If you use a PI server, proceed as follows: 1.
If you use WS-RM, proceed as follows: 1. Create an endpoint for the receiver interface. Create a logical port for the sender interface with the WSDL file of the endpoint. Prerequisites You have created the business systems concerned in the System Landscape Directory and are familiar with the configuration environment of the Integration Builder.

Depending on the relationship between credit control area and company code, the credit management can be categorized as:. Every company code has its own credit control area. Hence, we can define credit limits for a customer separately for each company code. This method delivers benefits such as the local payment cultures can be respected, each company code has the independence to make its own decisions. Multiple company codes are clubbed under the same credit control area.
So, if the customer transacts with company codes which are under the same credit control area, the limit is set for all the company codes combined together. If the currencies of these company codes are different from that of the credit control area, the receivables are converted to the credit control area currency to check with the credit limit set. Centralized credit management has benefits such as easier analysis of credit policy and modifications required, the focus is shifted to other important areas such as bad debt reductions and improved customer relations as there is only a central credit team that needs to be consulted irrespective of the geography etc.
Figure 5: Organisational Unit in Credit Management. Define Credit Groups. The credit group specifies which subsequent transaction can be blocked for processing, if the credit limits are exceeded. You can use the default credit groups or create new once.

Figure Automatic Credit Check Maintenance. Recommended Use: This is seen to be safer to use as compared to Dynamic Credit Check as it covers all documents due to varying business needs. For high volume and very low risk customers e. Risk Category , it is good practice to put deliveries on block and leave the orders untouched.
This prevents a level of check. Recommended Use: If the business is always likely to have fast moving items leaving no chances of Open Orders, Open Deliveries etc for long time period, this is good to use. There can be other business considerations to include only Open items within certain period. Maximum Document Value. The sales order or delivery value may not exceed a specific value which is defined in the credit check. The value is stored in the currency of the credit control area. This check is useful if the credit limit has not yet been defined for a new customer.
It is initiated by a risk category which is defined specifically for new customers. Recommended Use: Use it for Credit Group 01 Orders and high risk category customers which you always want to review beyond a particular value. It may also be used for prepaid or one-time customer with Max doc value.
Critical Fields:. This Credit check is initiated by document changes done in credit sensitive fields. One such example is terms of payment. When this field changes, a check is done on the data in sales order against the data in the customer master. Date of Next Review. System uses the date of the next credit review as a trigger for an automatic credit check. Overdue Open Items. The relation between open items which are more than a certain number of days overdue and the customer balance may not exceed a certain percentage.
These values are defined in the customizing for automatic credit control. The values may be reduced with increase in risk category values. Oldest Open Item. The oldest open item may not be more than a specified number of days overdue.
Maximum Number of Dunning Levels Allowed. User-Defined Checks- For e. Cheque received from a customer bounced, then subsequent orders may get blocked. Credit Management at work. For each customer, credit limits are specified in the particular credit master record. If the customer exists in multiple credit control areas, individual limit can be specified for each credit control area.
In addition, a central credit limit can also be specified for all the credit control areas under which the customer exists. Then, the total of the credit limits for each credit control area should not exceed the central credit limit. FD32 FI T code is used to set credit limit and credit risk category for the customer.

After SAP have checked and display credit blocked message. Message come from 'Document value' or 'Open items'?

No here-actually system will divides this 1,2,3,4 as two parts,3,4 will be fixed called as static part and the the first option 1 will be called as dynamic part open sales orders.

Thanks for the document, very usefull, during an Audit review with a client i came accross with the next question:.
Reviewing this process with a client I verified that when the Customer excided the credit limit assigned in SAP, the system automatically blocked the purchase requisition. In order to release it the Credit, the Clerk needed the Management authorization and this was done manually and outside SAP.
Once she had the authorization sheet signed the clerk manually released the PR. I wonder if it is possible to configure a SAP work flow in order to release credit block as when the control is manually performed it could be easily override. Thanks for your comments.
Very good post. We have the full credit up and running, I released from the credit perspective a Sales Document with VKM3, but the Business Unit keeps working on the order and the Hold is triggered automatically again.
So they have to come to us and request a credit release again; eventhough it was approved already. Is there anyway I can configure the Sales Order to avoid going back on hold after it has been released for the first time?
Skip to Content. Former Member. September 7, 12 minute read. Introduction Credit management is the management of credit facility granted to customers as credit exposure allowed. Do I block orders from important customers, or do I grab a phone? Can I afford to block customers small customer base? What do I save? What is the cost in terms of damage?
Credit Check Every customer is having a certain credit limit, which is measured and maintained by Finance people. When the order is delivered, the open order value is subtracted and the open delivery value added to the exposure.
