Credit management business scenarios...........

Hi Gurus,
Could you please provide few business scenarios (ex: pharma industry) where credit management is implemented in SD point of view. Because i need to prepare document( PPT) for my client.
If you send that would be reference for me and it would be great full to me
looking for the good response.
Thanks
murthy

Hi,
Further to info provided by Ram and your query,
Using simple credit check or Dynamic credit check will depened on the requirement the client has.
If they want to consider period horizon to check credit then you can use dynamic check and if not then simple check, etc.
So its not scenario dependent.
Hope this helps you,
Regards,

Credit management - Business functions

Dear all,
Can you please help me with what Business functions should I activate, to have available the FSCM Credit management?
What is the right secuence to activate this BF?
Thanks.

Hi Mark thanks for your answer, two additional question,
Can I install SAP Credit Management 6.0 (one system scenario) with in a system with release 6.0 and no ehp packs applied and then activate the Ehp later on after de installation of SAP Credit management?
If my account receivables is in release 6.0, is there any feasible reason to install SAP Credit management 3.0 instead of 6.0?
With SAP Credit management 3.0 in a one system scenario do you still need PI?
Thanks again.

Credit Management requirement for cash business

Hi Gurus,
Actually my client business is a cash business, there is no credit concept for the customers.
My requirement is when i create a sales order, system should check the credit balance of the customer(Business receives the payment through cheque and entry is made in f.28 transaction) and should compare with the current document value and if it exceeds, then system should through the error.
And if any open sale orders exists for this customer, system should even consider those values while credit check is happening.
And the exceptions for this requirement is
1.Credit check option should be there only for specific case of customers i,e based on account group of customers.
2.There are very few customers(around 5) where they give credit.
Pls guide me, early resposes woould be highly appreaciable.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Mahendar.

hello, friend.
you can consider using the payment guarantee scenario in credit management. the customer advance payment could be treated sort of as a financial document or payment card.
as for the selective application of credit controls based on customer group, i believe you do this be configuring risk categories and assigning them to the appropriate credit account master data.
regards.

Business Partner -Credit Management

Hi Experts,
I am facing a tricky situation. This problem is coming in Credit Management(FSCM) of Business Partner (Transaction - BP).
My Functional Consultant has activated the Credit Management role in business partner. I added some of the table in BP by using EEWB. Now, There is a push button called 'Import data' in 'credit profile' tab. My requirement is like this - when the push button 'Import data' will be pressed, one XML file with full data of Business partner would generate. My question is where i have to write code for generating XML file or which BADI i have to use? I have already tried with all methods of BADI 'UKM_CREDIT_INFO' but this BADI is not working when i click the pushbutton.
Can any expert suggest me.
Thanks in Advance.

Hello Shirish,
Did you resolve this issue? What BAdI and method you used to fix this issue.
Thank you

Business Package for Credit Manager

Hi Experts,
I'm trying to install the Business Package for Credit Manager (version 1.4), but I can't find any installation / configuration guides.
Here's information about the Business Package.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/en/68/81091aded544349526a18839d760b5/frameset.htm
So far, it's installed on our Portal but not working. Normally, I have to add system alias names, add roles, configure JCos etc. but I can't find any information about what's required for this Business Package.
If you can shed any light on how I can get it working on our Portal Iu2019d be very grateful.
Kind regards,
Andrew

Many thanks, great find but still can't get config info for the Business Package...see quote
In SAP Credit Management you can use a wide range of analysis and processing functions in SAP Enterprise Portal.
For more information on Business Package for Credit Management 6.01 and SAP Enterprise Portal, see the Internet at http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/developerareas/contentportfolio.
This link doesn't work and it's refering to cofiguring a BP that's two versions older than the one I've installed.
I've checked the updated Content Portfolio and it just sends me back the link I posted in the question.
Thanks,
Andrew

Strategy Management Business Process Scenarios in English language

Hi,
Can anybody (in SAP organisation itself , hopefully) help in providing the English version of the file Strategy Management Business Process Scenarios (DE)?
This file is currently available in German only at the service marketplace under SSM 7.5.
Thanks.
With regards,
Milan.

Milan,
The reason that the German version was on the Service Marketplace is because it is currently in production and not available until October.
I was able to go to implementationcontent.sap.com/bpr
- Clicked on SAP BusinessObjects Strategy Management
- Click Strategy Execution
- Click Strategy Management 7.5
- Click BUSINESS PROCESSES
- New window opens with Scenario "Strategy Validation"
- On the Documentation Tab you should see "Display Document"
- Clicking on Display Document opens a new window with the doc
The difficulty with being internal, is that I may have different authorization levels than you and so can't guarantee that this will work for you, but it is there right now in English. And I should mention that it took a long time for the new window with Document Tab to open, again your experience may be different, but be patient.
Regards,
Bob

I have a question on the version that shows up in the scenarios.
When we add the scenario, under SAP Service and Asset Management/Enterprise Asset Management, I don't see the ECC 6.0 option. i see that option for FI, HR, and other processes. I just see the ECC 5.0 option.

CREDIT MANAGEMENT-scenario

hi
How the system calculate credit limit in sales order. mean how it pickup the previuos vales and add with net doc value.
regards
murali

HI Murali
Credit and risk management takes place in the credit control area. According to your corporate requirements, you can implement credit management that is centralized, decentralized, or somewhere in between.
An organizational unit that represents the area where customer credit is awarded and monitored. This organizational unit can either be a single or several company codes, if credit control is performed across several company codes. One credit control area contains credit control information for each customer.
For example, if your credit management is centralized, you can define one credit control area for all of your company codes.
If, on the other hand, your credit policy requires decentralized credit management, you can define credit control areas for each company code or each group of company codes.
Credit limits and credit exposure are managed at both credit control area and customer level. You set up credit control areas and other data related to credit management in Customizing for Financial Accounting. The implementation guide is under Enterprise Structure -> Definition or Assignment -> Financial Accounting and then Maintain credit control area. You assign customers to specific credit control areas and specify the appropriate credit limits in the customer master record.
Settings for determining the credit control area of a document. The settings of items 1 - 4 are taken into account according to their priority. The credit control area found is stored in field VBAK-KKBER.
1. Transaction OB38
Check which credit control area is assigned to the company code.
Company code:
Credit control area:
2. Transaction OVFL
Check which credit control area is assigned to the sales area.
Sales area:
Credit control area:
3. Transaction XD02 or VD02
Check which credit control area is assigned to the payer.
Payer:
Credit control area:
4. Transaction SE37
Is user exit EXIT_SAPV45K_001 being used?
5. Transaction OBZK
For the settings under items 2 - 4, field "All company codes" must be marked in Transaction
OB45, or the credit control area must be entered under the relevant company code in table
T001CM of the credit control areas allowed.
Company code:
Credit control areas allowed:
6. Settings for the credit checks
7. Transaction OVAK
Which settings do exist for the sales document type used?
Sales document:
Check credit:
Credit group:
8. Transaction OVAD
Which settings do exist for the delivery type used?
Delivery type:
Credit group for delivery:
Credit group for goods issue:
9. Transaction OB01
Credit management/Change risk category
Definition of the risk category for each credit control area. This risk category can be
assigned to a credit account by using Transaction FD32.
10. Transaction OVA8
Here, the individual credit checks for key fields
o credit control area
o risk category
o credit group are set. Take these key fields from the above settings and go to the detail
screen. In particular, check whether fields "Reaction" and "Status/block" are set
correctly. To carry out follow-up actions in case of a credit block, the credit check
status must be set (field "Status/block").
11. Transaction FD32
Credit master data for the payer of the relevant document.
Credit account:
Credit limit:
Risk category:
Currency:
12. Settings for updating the credit values Update of the credit values is required for the limit
check (static or dynamic credit limit check).
13. Transaction OVA7
Update of the credit value is active for the corresponding item type if the check box is marked. This field corresponds to
field "Active receivable" in Transaction VOV7.
Item type:
Active receivable:
14. Transaction V/08, Pricing
In the pricing procedure used for pricing, subtotal "A" must be entered in a line for
determining the credit value (mark the pricing procedure and doubleclick on "Control").
Usually, the net value plus taxes is used. This way the system is determined to use this
subtotal for credit pricing. The credit price is stored in field VBAP-CMPRE and used for
update and credit check.
You can find the used pricing procedure of the order under "Item -> Condition -> Analysis".
Pricing procedure:
Line with subtotal = 'A':
15. Transaction OB45
Which update group (field "Update") do you use in the relevant credit control area? The
default setting is "12". If you use another update group, check whether this is fine with
you. If you open an OSS message, please tell us the alternative update group.
Credit control area:
Update:
16. Transaction OMO1
Which kind of update did you choose for structure S066?
In any case, "Synchronous update (1)" has to be chosen as the kind of update.
All other settings will lead to errors.

Letter of Credit functionality and Credit Management

Hi,
we want to use Letter of Credit functionality for exports.
Currently, we have an ERP system that contains the sales data. In a separate system we have the credit management functionality (Financial Supply Chain Mgt - FSCM).
When order is created, the credit limit is checked in the FSCM system (via PI messages).
Now, we want to link some of the Sales orders with Letter of Credit. I believe, this is standard functionality in GTS.
So when Sales Order is created a LOC should be connected to this.
Can the GTS be connected also to FSCM credit management, so credit limit is not affected?
Example:
Sales Order value: 1 Mio USD
10% down-payment > this would be in the credit exposure visible (net exposure).
90 % covered through LOC > credit exposure should showing this, or it shows order value and in a negative figure this amount deducted so no effect on exposure.
Down-payment has no relation to LOC. When money is received for this the net exposure of the sales order is 0.
partial invoice: 0.4 Mio USD > it should be possible to link this invoice to the LOC. The posting FI document should have some LOC information, so when payment comes in the amount in LOC is reduced as well as in credit management this open.
Final invoice 0.5 USD: as above, all values go out from exposure if there are any.
A second case would be guarantees, where there is no reduction of values. This would stay same.
Anyone who can advise a solution here?
Thanks + Regards
Hein

Letter Of Credit can be used as a standard solution of SAP GTS with ERP solution. Yes you can connect both SAP & no SAP systems with GTS, but plugins, PI etc needs to be built in. But it would not be real time like RFC works. There are some standard available which needs to be hard coded to meet specific requirements.
Connecting LOC to Sales Order, invoice etc, is manual, based on business specific parameters and it comes standard with SAP GTS. Maintaining Values & Quantity of LOC based on actual LOC from bank is also possible. The depreciation of values & quantities is also standard with in LOC in GTS.
You can also setup various communication methods for LOC.
I think when Invoice is raised and payment is received the LOC should be closed in the system. There can also be other scenarios where in system determines LOC based on predefined logics for determination strategy put in to the GTS system.
Cheers,
Abir

Credit management requirement

Hi,
Guys i have the b/m requirement w.r.t. credit management.
i am very confused on the same.
-.The credit period of 45 days from the date of placing the order(i.e sales order) will be admissible to the customers of the company.
-. Customer will be required to issue a post-dated cheque on the due date of payment for 95% value of the order.
& The order will be taken for production by the plant only after post dated cheque for 95% value of the order has been received by the branch and confirmed to Head Office.
-.The balance amount against the supplies received by the BP against the purchase order shall be payable after the receipt of the goods by him. This outstanding amount shall be a part of credit limit.
-.At no given time the total credit exposure (including the value of post dated cheque) against BP shall exceed 50% of the invoice value to him in preceding 90 days. In case the business partner has already utilized the credit limit agreed for him, the supplies will be made against cash payment only.
-.If any payment is received from BP in less than 45 days, he shall be entitled for credit note @ 1.5% per month.
CAN ANYBODY HELP ME TO MAP THE SCENARIO IN SAP ON THE SAME.
Rgds

Hi,
For credit period of 45 days. configure payment terms.
SAP does not have a solution for post dated cheques. However you can use F-49 - Noted Items for post dated cheques.At the end of due date, use F-28 - incoming payments.
For Credit Limit, Configure Credit Management,Refer to this website.
http://www.sap-img.com/sap-sd/credit-management.htm
In case of cash payment, you can use F-28 or F110, you have to use cash GL Account.
Please let me know if you need more information.
Assign points if useful.

Credit Managament: avoid credit block for down payment invoices

1) Downpayment - when an order is blocked, can we create a billing
document of the downpayment request created in slaes order. Logically
the customer wants to pay for this downpayment immediately and process
the order
Notes: If credit management is activated at sales order level and In
Milestone Billing scenario or Project Sales order scenario, at Sales
order level we have a Downpayment (Z0000 - Downpayment) Milestone
usage and Other Milestone invoice Usages.
The business requirement is Customer need to pay the downpayment
invoice before executing the Sales order.
In SAP when the Sales order is blocked for Credit Management, system is
not able to create the Downpayment invoice also. to creat the invoice
we have to release the order first. However we dont want to release the
order but want to receivce the downpayment and then may be we can
manually release the order and process. The reason is suppose we have
an automatic release to production or PR or creation of service order,
we would like to process them only after the downapayment, now for
creating the wownpayment invoice for receiving the downpayment, we have
to release the order which shall further process the order
automatically. Please suggest a solution for the same to avoid the
credit block for the Downpayment invoices.

I think this can be enabled easily.
For the combination of Credit Control Area, Credit Group and Risk Category, you should have enabled the Dynamic/Static credit check, you can configure it such a way that it only gives you a warning message and doesnot block your sales order. This should solve ur problem

Unallocated sales order is out of Credit management

Dear gurus
On credit management, if inventory is NOT allocated to sales order
(Ex. No inventory at storage location),
warning or error message show up even if the credit amount is
exceeded the limitation.
After created sales order without inventory allocation, then inventory
is allocated later, and error message show up
as delivery, because the credit amount is exceeded the limiation.
What is the concept of SAP behind this logic?
Why SAP doesn't count unallocated sales order to credit management?
Y.Kaneko

if i understand you correctly, you need to know why an order does not have a allocated stock if it is credit blocked, & why does the order goes back to credit hold when it is released & availbility check is carried out.
from a credit management view, allocation of stock to a blocked order is not followed in business, lets take a logic example if you have 100 qty in stock & u have order for 80 qty from a customer on normal scenario you will have this order confirmed, but since he is on credit block, the confirmation for him will not happen, there is no point in reserving the stock for a credit blocked customer, if at all it happens you may not be able to confirm a new order for 70 qty for a customer who is of cash sale type.
next order going back to credit hold after confirmation : this may be a scenario in material determination, you might have entered say $5 manually for a material & you had saved the document that will be of $5 value, once you release the order ( you will release the value as $5 against the order), now the determined material will have a condition record of $6 & hence will go for a block,( means if the manually entered price is lesser than the condition value) you will have the order going for block again.
let me know if my understanding on your question is right

Credit management ECC 6.0 implementation

Hi Experts/Gurus,
One of our clients have done a technical upgrade from SAP 4.6c to ECC 6.0.
Now they want to know what will be the timeline required for implementation of the Integrated credit management functionality of ECC6.0 in their SAP system if they go on for functional upgrade.
Now following are my doubts:
1) How to compare their existing credit management process/Functionality with the new ECC 6.0 integrated credit management functionality?
2) How to decide upon the timeline required to implement the new credit management functionalityof ECC 6.0?
Thanks in Advance!

Hi,
Its depend on your company upgrade strategies, compair 40. credit mgt. functionality & 6.0 functionality.
then go for upgradre
Heer I some comments on upgrade
Upgrade Scenarios
Customers who are motivated to upgrade to ECC 6.0 generally pursue at least one of the four key goals just discussed as the primary goal of the upgrade.
Improved business strategy
Sustainability
Operational excellence,
Lower TCO
SAP takes three major approaches to upgrading, each driven by a different motivation and leading to a different ROI and payback periods.
u2022 Technical upgrade:
Focuses on risk mitigation and sustainability of the existing SAP solution.
u2022 Functional upgrade:
Focuses on reducing TCO by reducing system complexity u2013 for example, by returning custom modifications and custom code to SAP standard code
u2022 Upgrade with strategic business improvements:
Considers major reengineering and implementation of new strategic business applications as part of the project scope. These approaches are summarized below.
The three major approaches can be complemented by other compelling changes such as system landscape consolidation, the implementation of shared service center(s), and so forth.
In summary, the more your upgrade decision is driven by business improvement goals, the better your expected ROI. Upgrade experiences and customer statistics confirm that the decision for an SAP software upgrade is usually determined by a mix of business, technology, and strategic criteria.

Regarding open items in credit management

Dear friends
My query is that is it possible to restrict credit management for credit and debit open items? See i am using oldest open item blocking in my scenario. Now credit and debit amounts are both considered as open item for credit management. I want only invoice (Debit entry) for consideration and not his payment(credit entry).
Please advise is it possible or not and if possible where to define that???
With regards
Inder

Hi,
All business have their own credit management needs, SAP allows you to specify your own automatic credit checks based on a variety of criteria. You can also specify at which critical points in the sales and distribution cycle the system carries out these checks.
SM30 - Table/View
V_TVTW Define Distribution Channel
V_TVTA_KKB Assign sales area to credit control area
V_T014 FI - Define Credit Control Area
T001CM - FI Assign Permitted Credit Control Area to company code
OVXG - Set up Sales Areas
e.g. Sales Organization
Distribution Channel Division Distribution Channel Division
FD32 - Customer Credit Management
OVAK - Define credit limit check by sales document type
Check Credit
A Credit limit check and warning message
B Credit limit check and error message (no sales order can be created)
C Credit limit check and delivery block (block delivery if hit credit limit)
Options B and C -> used for checking open order values (when you create/change the sales order)
D Automatic credit control with open order values
More control in transaction OVA8 - Automatic credit control
You check for open orders and deliveries, or just open deliveries.
or open order values with other options
Credit group
Allows you to combine different sales document types for the credit limit check
VKM1 - Blocked SD Documents Finance have to released the delivery block
OVAD - Define credit limit check by delivery order
whether the automatic credit check occurs at the time of delivery creation and/or goods issue
OVA7 - Define credit limit check by item category
Set whether to include/exclude item category for credit limit check
OVA6 - Define credit group. You can groups together different business transactions which should be dealt with in the same manner with regard to the credit check.
You enter the credit groups when you configure the sales document types for credit management and define the (D automatic credit check).
SAP default credit groups
01 credit group for sales order
02 credit group for delivery
03 credit group for goods issue
OVA8 - Automatic credit control Double click on the line items
You can have the followings credit limit check :-
Static
Depends on the customer total value of open orders, deliveries, billing documents and open items.
Open items
No of days open
Overdue open items checks is based on the ratio of open items that are overdue by a certain number of days.
Max open items %
The customer balance must not exceed a certain percentage.
Oldest open items
If you dont want to deliver to the customer at all when even only 1 invoice is overdue.
Tick the Check for Oldest Open Item and Set the field Days oldest item = 1.
Days oldest item
No of days allowed for overdue or payment terms.
Use of the credit check Oldest Open Item. If a user attempts to alter the order quantity of a released sales document
that was previously blocked, it would be reblocked again by the system. The system only reblocks the sales document if the new order quantity is above a certain % amount.
Released documents are still unchecked
The preset % is whatever you want to set it as when configuring your automatic credit processing. You enter a deviation % and number of days,eg, you can set it so that an order can be changed by up to 10% within 30 days of original order entry date without it going back on credit block.
Next Review Date
If a customer has a credit limit of 1000 USD, and you would like to restrict this credit limit only to be available in current month (say March). If the document day is in April then the credit limit is zero.
You can use the NextReview date and Number of days fields and combined it with the Last int.review field in customer credit master Status view (FD32).
