Different Types of Credit Checks

You can define any of the following credit checks for various combinations of credit control area, risk category, and document credit group:

• Static Credit Limit Check

The customer’s credit exposure may not exceed the established credit limit. The credit exposure is the total combined value of the following documents:

Open orders

Open deliveries

Open billing documents

Open items (accounts receivable)

The open order value is the value of the order items which have not yet been delivered. The open delivery value is the value of the delivery items which have not yet been invoiced. The open invoice value is the value of the billing document items which have not yet been forwarded to accounting. The open items represent documents that have been forwarded to accounting but not yet settled by the customer.

• Dynamic Credit Limit Check with Credit Horizon

The customer’s credit exposure is split into a static part; open items, open billing, and delivery values (see above), and a dynamic part, the open order value. The open order value includes all undelivered or only partially delivered orders. The value is calculated on the shipping date and stored in an information structure according to a time period that you specify (days, weeks, or months). When you define the credit check, you can then specify a particular horizon date in the future (for example: 10 days or 2 months, depending on the periods you specify). For the purposes of evaluating credit, you want the system to ignore all open orders that are due for delivery after the horizon date. The sum of the static and dynamic parts of the check may not exceed the credit limit.

• 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.

• Changes Made to Critical Fields

The credit check is triggered by changes made in the document to values in any of the credit-sensitive fields. According to your Customizing settings, the system runs a check credit between changes or differences in the sales order data against the default values in the customer master record. Examples of such fields are terms of payment and fixed value dates .

• Date of Next Review

Uses the date of the next credit review as a trigger for an automatic credit check. If you process a sales order after a customer’s next review date has already gone by, the system automatically carries out a 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.

• Oldest Open Item

The oldest open item may not be more than a specified number of days overdue.

• Maximum Number of Dunning Levels Allowed

The customer’s dunning level may only reach a specified maximum value.

• User-Defined Checks

If you want to carry out checks other than the standard checks, you can define your own checks in the appropriate user exits in Customizing for Sales.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
