Credit Limit of Customers

In SAP Business By Design , in a customer account we can see two balances:
1. Open item Totals in Transaction Currency
2.Valuated Balance in Company Currency
Why in some cases the two balances differ ??
Further for credit limit of Customer the balance reflected under open item totals in transaction currency is considered ??
Best Regards
Ritesh Rawat

Hello Ritesh
If there are transactions with the currency other than the company currency for a customer, then you will see multiple rows under the Open Item in Transaction Currency with each row showing the consolidated balance by currency.
System will convert the transaction currency amount into the company currency and Valuated Balance in Company Currency will show the consolidated balance in single currency i.e. company currency.
If you see any other differences, then there can be technical issue as well. Can you provide more details on the difference here?
You can configure the Credit Limit Check behavior in the Business configuration activity named Credit Limit Check. There are 3 options here:
Check Current Document – This will only consider the values of the current documents. If you configure this, then system will take the open items balance into consideration.
Check Current Document and Other Open Orders- Current documents and open sales/service orders.
Check Current Document and Other Open Orders Including Documents "In Preparation"
Hope this helps.

Query for credit limit of customers of a particular type

Hi,
We are using SAP B1 2007B PL04 and want to activate credit limit so that whenever a delivery or A/R breaches the credit limit then the document must go for approval. However we want this to be activated only when the customers are having group code say 110 and not for others.
So basically could you all help me with a query which would do the following
1. check whether customer for whom delivery or A/R is being generated belongs to group having croup code 110
2. check if the credit limit set in BP master for that customer will be breached if the delivery or A/R is made (ie Current A/R or delivery amount when added to current outstanding will exceed the credit limit)
3. if yes then will activate approval procedure and send the document for approval as per approval template
Thanks

Fixing the Credit Limit for customers

Hi Experts,
My client wants the system to automatically fill the credit limit of say $0 for a customer having Incoterms as 004.
They want this to happen for each and every customer who is having incoterms as 004.
Manually Maintaining in FD33 is not agreed by them.
Please let me know if there is any standard settings that i can do to have this or do we require any Enhamcement.
Below is the screen shot of requirement.
Thanks in advance!!!!
Alam

Hi Mehboob,
It is not possible in Standard systme, you will need to create a Z table on what basis the credit limit to be updated in customer master. Once that is fixed, credit limit will get automatically.
Further you check with your technical team for same.

Does Simple Credit Limit Check Include Checking for Open Orders

Hi all,
I have this issue here where I have configured the system to use simple credit limit check with error message. I did not use the standard/common automatic credit limit check since user insist on a pop-up warning and that the order could not be saved. But, I realized that it does not take open orders into account too although I have set the risk categories. Is it true and what solution is there for this issue then.
Thank you for all your help in inputs.
Regards,
Yvonne

Hi,
Please follow the below configuration settings for Simple credit check process.
Simple credit check: In simple credit check the system compares the credit exposure with payers credit limit. The
credit exposure results from the total of the net document value and the value of the open items.
We can set the following system responses at when the credit limit has been reached.
A u2013Warning message
B u2013 Error message
C u2013 Delivery block
Specify in VOV8  Credit limit [C]
Configuration settings:

[A] = Run simple credit limit check and warning message
<b> = Run simple credit limit check and error message
[C] = Run simple credit limit check and delivery block
 Save and Exit
Define credit control area: Transaction code: OB45
Credit control area is an organizational unit that specifies and checks the credit limit for customers. A credit control
area can include one or more company codes. It means we can assign one credit control area to number of company
codes.
NOTE: Within credit control area the credit limit must be specified in the same currency.

Data for updating SD fields
Update [000012]: Open order value on time axis, delivery and billing document value. This field value controls
when the values are open sales orders, deliveries, billing documents are updated in LIS. We can specify the
following update groups for updating credit related statistics.
 Update group 000012:
Sales order: Increase open order value from delivery relevant schedule lines.
Delivery: Reduces open order value from delivery relevant schedule lines.
Increases open delivery value
Billing document: Reduces the open delivery value, increases open billing document value.
Financial accounting document: Reduces open billing document value
Increases open items.
 Update group 000015:
Delivery: Increases open delivery value.
Increases open billing document value.
Financial accounting document: Reduces open billing document value
Increases open items.
 Update group 000018:
Sales order: Increases open delivery value
Billing document: Reduces open delivery value.
Increases open billing document value.
Financial accounting document: Reduces open billing document value.
Increases open items.
Fiscal year variant [K4]: It indicates specific fiscal year variant for particular credit control area. The fiscal year
variant is essential when a credit control area covers multiple company codes whose fiscal years are different. Then
the values of the open orders are updated by posting period.
Specify risk category [001]: 001 = High risk
002 = Medium risk
003 = Low risk
This risk category entered in the related control area of the customeru2019s credit master record, which is automatically
created when a customer is created in a company code.
The credit master record is automatically maintained when at least one of the below fields is maintained for the
corresponding control area.
(A) Risk category
(B) Credit representative group
(C) Credit limit
Credit limit: The credit limit that we enter here in the specific credit control area of the customeru2019s credit master
record. This is automatically created when a customer is created in a company code (in XD01).
NOTE: This credit limit is not a total credit limit for the control area.
Representative group [001]: Define credit representative group in IMG.
 All company codes: If we want to tell to the system that, this credit control area is permitted for
postings in every company code we have defined.
 Save and Exit
NOTE: After this create Risk categories and Credit representative groups and come back to this step and assign
these values to our credit control area.
Risk category and Representative group defined and maintained by FI/CO consultants in IMG.

Assign company code to credit control area: Transaction code: OB38
Path:
 IMG
 Enterprise structure
 Assignment
 Financial accounting
 Assign company code to credit control area
 Choose our company code from position button
 Click on assign button on the application tool bar
 Select our credit control area from the list and assign it
 Save and Exit
 Go to FD32 and check whether system created customeru2019s credit master data automatically or not.
System creates customers credit master data automatically when we (FI/CO) people) configure credit control area in
IMG.
So as to perform simple credit check we have to specify customer master payers limit in the credit control area, and
create customer master in XD01 transaction code.
 Specify reconciliation account number (GL account number)
 Payment history record: Check payment history record control in payment transaction tab. It is the
control parameter to update the payment details that are made by customers and system will show the
payment details in the FD32.
 Specify the credit control area in credit control area field in billing document tab.
 Save and Exit
 Go to VA01 and raise the sales order
Check the system responses in each and every level of sales document processing and check whether the system
blocked the delivery document (due to the setting in VOV8 of OR in check credit limit field [C] = Blocked for
delivery).
 To release the delivery go to VKM4 and release the delivery document.

Temporarily Increase Customer credit limit for va01

Hi,
My requirement is we want increase credit limit for customers for 1 or 2 days in temporarily basic or va01 order release purpose .
I maintained customer wise temporary credit & valid from and to dates in a z-table. How to solve this problem without using credit management FD32.
regards,
moon.

Your requirement to increase Credit LImit of Customer for 1 - 2 days based on a Z-Table is not possible in SAP Standard. Also you dont want to use FD32.
Now in OVA8, Under Checks you have three Boxes for User 1, 2, & 3. There are the Enchancement Points give by SAP for you to implement your Z-Requirment in Credit Management.
You Requirement will have to be mapped in a Z-Development, speak to your ABAPer & he can write a code in User Exit which will refer your Z-Table & do the needful.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,

Detect customers without credit limit

Hi,
in my firm we use credit control for customers in the EXP market.
In SE16N when I go to table KNKK I can pull a list of all customers with credit limits -- they have value "EXP" in field KKBER or no. of credit (equal to customer no.) in field KNKLI.
However I noted that were several customers in table KNA1 that belonged to account group (field KTOKD) no. 0001 or 0003 and technically are part of EXP market, hence should have credit limit, but I cannot find them in table KNKK.
Why is that? When master record is set up it's another process to set credit control for the customer?
Also, I'd like to pull a list of all customers from table KNA1 that belong to EXP market and cross-match them to table KNKK in order to detect if they do not exist in KNKK, i.e. do not have credit control.
How can I do it?
Would appreciate your response. Regards

Hi,
Try the T-Code F.32
In this T-code you will get the list of all the customers whose credit limit is not maintained in FD32.
Thanks and regards,

Looking for a bapi that gets the list of customers with a credit limit

Hello SAP gurus
I want to know if there is a standard bapi that I can use to find all customers with a credit limit of $10000 and that have exceeded this limit.
Any response/feedback will be highly appreciated.
Tks
Ram

Thanks J@Y,
I had read that discussion about the tables with the info. However, I have an external program that is integrated to SAP sytem (using webservices). The external program when needed has to retrieve the list of customers who have exceeded certain credit limit. So I was wondering if there is any standard BAPI which I can use. Or do I need to write my own BAPI using the tables info that you have indicated.
Tks
Ram

Credit limit sharing main customer and sub customers

Dear all
Credit limit sharing main customer and sub customers. we have hierarchy to identified main cutomer and sub customers and different account groups. now in system we are using main customer payer for all sub customers also. in future we are going to share the credit limit sub dealesr also. wt are the possibilities to complete my requirements.
Regards
Venkey

Hi Venky,
If i understood correctly. You wan to share main customer credit limit to all sub customer i.e. if main customer is having 5 Lacs Credit Limit the same amt you want to use for all sub customers.
If this is the scenario then assign the main customer in the sub customer Credit master as a credit account.
FD32 ---> Control Area Data ---> Status ---> Credit Account ( Under Credit Limit )....
Process to change the credit account: Perss F6 or from the status view Go to Edit ---> Change Credit acct...
Hope issue may resolve..

How to view the date when the Customers credit limit updated in SAP-FSCM?

How to view the date when the Customers credit limit updated in SAP-FSCM?

OK you can look at field - LIMIT_CHG_DATE in the table - UKMBP_CMS_SGM via SE16
I would assume you would want to run it based on a date range.

Revise credit limit of several customers

Is there any mass change on credit limit?
Is there any simple way to change the credit limit of several hundreds/thousands customer at a time?
I have tried f.34, but I can only change the "next int. review" date only.
Besides, is there any direct relationship between customer hierarchy and credit limit. Can it default the credit account to the highest node once when a customer is created?

hello, friend.
1. you can change credit limit en masse by -
     a. using t-code MASS and choosing Customer credit - central data, and Customer credit - status
     b. using LSMW to automate FD32
2. to assign a customer as reference for credit control for several customers (let's say Customer A with credit limit of 100,000. Customers B, C and D share in the limit), you can do the following:
     a. execute FD32 and enter Customer B
     b. on status page, click EDIT > CHANGE CREDIT ACCT. a message will appear advising you to reorganize data.
     c. on the next screen, enter Customer A in credit account. save.
     d. repeat for Customer C and D.
     e. now run t-code F.28 for these customers.
      f. when you create sales transactions, you will notice the credit data of only A is updated, while the rest will have zero.

Dear Experts,

After creating first invoice for the new customer and system is checking credit limit for all the Sales orders whcih were created after first invoice (Billing).
Can you please help me how to overcome this issue.
Note: Credit Control Team dont want to use VKM3 tcode to release the order.
Thanks

Credit Limit for 2 customers

How do you setup an approval procedure to check a shared credit limit for 2 customers simultaneously? The credit limit is shared between the 2 customers which can be linked thorugh a UDF.
Example: Joint credit limit Cust1 and Cust2: $10,000
Outstanding orders for Cust1: $5,000
Outstanding orders for Cust2: $3,000
Available credit for any of them: $2,000.
If an order exceeds $2,000 in this example, it should trigger the Approval Procedure.
Cust1 and Cust2 can be linked through UDF U_CustGroup (or any other suggested field)
What would be the Query to use please?
Thanks,
A Castri

Hi Gordon, thanks again for response. The UDF will link a customer to its sibling (and back). Credit limit will be set at the same value for both customers. This is how I visualize it, but I don't know if a Query would be enough:
TotAvailCredit = CreditLimit - (Balance Cust1 + Balance Cust2)
If Total from Quote or Invoice > TotAvailCredit then trigger approval procedure.
Do you still think an SDK-based development would be needed, or just a Query would be sufficient?
Thanks,
Andres
