Credit Limit Check - Exclude Specific Documents / Credits from Exposure
Hi,
I would like to know if it's possible to exclude specific document types (credits) from the credit exposure calculation used during credit limit checks.
The ideia is to exclude "DG" credits in customer GL that are related to Trade Deal/Agreements to avoid over-exposure.
Let me explain:
Currently, our credit management is configured to "Static" + "Open Items" for all credit groups in the CCA. Therefore, SAP calculates the credit exposure as:
CE = OPEN ORDERS (S066) + OPEN DELIVERIES (S067) + OPEN BILLING (S067) + OPEN ITEMS (BSID)
Regarding "Open Items", I understand that SAP calculates the net value between all debits (receivables) and credits (returns, overpayments, etc...) already posted and not cleared in the Customer GL account. This rationale is correct since the credits are due to the customers and should be deducted from their exposure (i.e. "you may not pay them if you don't receive").
However, in our case, we also pay trade deals contracts (i.e. trade incentives and trade marketing investments) directly to costumers and apart from sales orders or credit memos. The flow is the following: (1) contracts are managed on a satelite system and interfaced to SAP; (2) contracts are created in the costumer GL as a credit (doc. type "DG"); (3) credits are sent to accounts payable for payment via F110.
Problem is that, contract credits volume is significant and are impacting customers credit exposure and limit check, resulting in greater exposure than allowed. That is, orders are being released while contract credits are open in the customer GL up to the max exposure, but when contracts are paid the exposure goes above the limit. For example:
Day 1:
Costumer Credit Limit: 100
Sales Balance: 30
Open Itens: 50 (receivables: 70 / contracts: -20)
Credit Exposure: 80/100
Day 2:
Costumer Credit Limit: 100
Sales Balance: 50
Open Itens: 50 (receivables: 70 / contracts: -20)
Credit Exposure: 100/100 (no additional orders are released)
Day 3:
Costumer Credit Limit: 100
Sales Balance: 50
Open Itens: 70 (receivables: 70 / contracts: 0 - contracts are paid on day 3)
Credit Exposure: 120/100 (exposure is above customer limit since contracts that were being deducted were paid)
Any ideas or thoughts? Is something wrong in the explanation above? Should contracts credits be treated through special GL?
Many thanks!
Hello Julie,
the 2nd, System behavior (how do you interact the credit limit check (yes/no question) via DI?)
Workaround:
Before you issue the Document, you may do a manual check: BP balance againt Credit Limit, and make deceision.

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.

YvonneHi,
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.

create customer master in XD01 transaction code.
Specify reconciliation account number (GL account number)

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

To release the delivery go to VKM4 and release the delivery document. -
Document cant be billed due to credit limit check
Hi SAP gurus,
I have a sales order i am going to do billing(order related) its showing error"document cant be billed due to credit limit check".
I have checked in FD32 customer credit limit 200,000RM and recievables140,991.4 and sales value 21,980.
customer used only 81% of credit only.i have checked in open orders(9032.80), open deliveries and open billing doc.but customer can use still 28,086. But system not allowing to do billing for 950RM.
Is there any other areas i need to check? Experts give me some inputs.
Thanks and Regards,
NookaHi
KIndly check in the sales order that you have maintain the payment guarentee procedure because of this the system is not allowing to do the invoicing
PATH: VA02sales order no-Go toItembilling document---payment guarentee procedure
so kindly check that and remove or assign the financial document to that for processing the billing
By doing above the issue will be resolved,kindly check and confirm.
if you have any further clarifications let me know

Static Credit Limit Check for Sales Orders - Net Value vs Credit Value
We are testing order credit check and we have run into a problem with the Static Credit Limit Check. The Static Credit Limit Check is set to use both Order and Delivery Values. SAP uses the values in S066 and S067 to determine what values it uses to check against the credit limit. Standard SAP uses the confirmed quantity times the credit price to get the order values - this is the credit value.
So the problem is, once an order is released it is set up so it does not go back on credit hold, so anything which is not confirmed (but could be) it a potential credit value which is unaccounted for in the credit exposure and the customer can go over the credit limit.
Additionally, we run AFS and have items which are rejected with a J0 rejection code (unconfirmed) which have the potential of being confirmed and shipped and we want to include these items in the value of the order which is being checked against the credit limit (along with the deliveries, invoices and receivables).
Here is a quick example.
Customer has a credit limit of $100 (no deliveries, invoices or receivables - to keep it simple)
Order 1 is placed with a credit value of $50.00 but a potential value of $100 (the other half is J0) - this passes the credit check since $50.00 is less than the limit.
Order 2 is placed for $50.00 and has a credit value of $50. This also gets approved.
At this point, the credit limit used is 100% (based on standard SAP)
Then Order1 backorder is confirmed and the new credit value is now $100. This order now puts the customer over their limit and if the order had been released would not go back on credit hold and therefore the customer is not over their credit limit by 50%.
What I want is for Order1 to be credit checked for the $100 not the $50 so the exposure is correct.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how we could use the Net Value of the order to perform the static credit check? And any thoughts on how to determine the correct credit exposure (open order value plus items which are J0, plus deliveries, plus invoices, plus receivables)?
I am thinking about a Z table to track the adjusted values on the orders and then use one of the customer checks to do a static credit check with the adjusted value. And for the exposure, use the adjusted value to recalculate the values in F.35 to show a more accurate view of the credit exposure.
Does anyone have an easier way to do this? Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
SuzanneHi Suzzane,
In the scenario that you have provided, in the first order items worth 50$ are rejected. Hence standard SAP will not take this into account as this item is rejected.Two solutions can be provided here:
1) The line item can have a delivery block instead of a reason for rejection.This way the 50$ will get accounted.However, if this is against customer norms as this will appear in the order acknowledgment, this cannot be used.
2) User exit can be used where a credit check can be triggered once the document value changes, even though the document has a released status.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Credit limit check cause the item schedule line confirmed qty empty
Hi,
I have an SO that is under credit limit check, the problem is, after releasing it via VKM3, the confirmed qty at item schedule line is not taking the qty as of stock at the time. The SO qty is 100 Pcs, but there's still stock of 80 Pcs. I will then need to split the schedule line to 2 lines --> 1st line with order qty 80 Pcs, and 2nd line 20 Pcs. Then only the confirmed qty appear for the 80Pcs.
For usual SO that is without credit checking, the confirmed qty will immediately shown as in 1 schedule line. Does anyone know why is this happening and can we amend this problem?
Thanks.Hi
If an order is subject to credit check once you save the order the confirmed quantities becomes 0 because if the settings done in t code OVB8 Number of the routine used for copying is set as 101and System FORM routine number is set as 1 (and this is the standard settings)
This is kept like this in standard so that if a material stock is say 10 units and order from customer X has come for 10 units and that order is blocked on crediit limit so that when the next order from customer Y has come for another 5 units and this customer Y has a better credit limit and this order is not blocked on Credit limit check then she should not suffer for stocks
A genuine customer should not be deprived of stocks
For you between the order registered and released thro VKM3 another order has come from another customer for 20 units and hence the 100 units has become 80 now and balance 20 is confirmed for a future date thro forward scheduling
In T code OVB8 you can do the customizations for this scenario according to the business requirement

FSCM-CR - Credit limit checking
Hi,
When activating FSCM-CR, will the FI-AR credit limit checking be automatically inactive when posting open items (or creating sales orders in SD), or is it required to remove any costumizing settings in FI-AR in order to have only FSCM-CR triggering any verification events and messages?
I am aware that in Business Partner master we need to set the Check Rule, but I would like to confirm if, apart from that, the transition of credit checking control among the modules is seamless.

MRP-Exclude STO document type from MRP Run
Hi,
I want to exclude STO document type from MRP run, so that STO Open qty will not be considered as open qty while doing MRP.
I have checked below settings but didn't worked.
1. In OMI8 - I have unchecked "Stock in Transfer"
2. SPRO->Materials Management->Consumption-based Planning->Planning->Define torage Location MRP per plant
Here I have excluded ONE storage location from MRP and same storage location has been used in the STO.
Can anyone know how to resolve this ?
Regards,
RakeshRakesh,
Yes, they will not be relevant for MRP. Neither will anything else in that storage location. However, the setting is not in configuration, but in the material master (MRP4 tab).
The configuration setting you mentioned has no impact on existing material masters, it is only used to determine the default settings for newly created storage location entries for a material/plant..
You can set a particular material/plant/stlocn to be irrelevant for MRP. This relevancy is irrespective of document type, it can be a STO, a purchase req, a sales order, a production order, or it could be stock (inventory) - all supply and demand in this material/plant/stlocn are excluded from MRP processing.
MRP relevancy of storage location is set at the material/plant/storage location level in the material master.
If you do not wish to exclude a storage location from MRP, then you will have to find another way to make your STOs Irrelevant for MRP. As I said earlier, STOs (like any other Purchase orders that are configured to process stock ), are generally considered to be relevant for MRP.
If you were a client, I would suggest that you rethink your business model that drives this requirement.
If the business model cannot be altered, and the storage location solution is unacceptable, then you will be stuck with a customized solution.

How to consolidate group data for credit limit check
Dear All,
The question came up here how group data (open items, open orders, etc.) can be consolidated for the credit limit check. Is a hierarchy used or other master data ?
E.g.: Customer BASF has various subsidiaries. If a customer from the BASF group places an order with us there must be a check regarding open items etc. of all customers belonging to the BASF group.
Thank you.
JoachimCreate credit limit for one BASF customer in FD32.
Then enter the credit limit for other customers without amount . but in status screen goto edit-change credit acct
credit account - enter the customer number for which credit limit is maintained earlier.
repeat the same for all basf customers
by this credit limit of first customer will be shared by group of customers -
Credit Limit check on Delivery:: Sales order blocked
Dear Friends,
We have implemented credit limit check with delivery Block option in Sales order. After revising Credit limit, while user is creating Delivery again, system prompts for Delivery Block in Sales order i.e, reson for Block is Credit limit in Sales Order. then user removes resason and proceeds further.
Is there any way by which system doesn't put reason for rejection in sales order and just not allow to create delivery in system. i.e. we want to remove the step of removing reason from sales order.
Regards Krishan RahejaDear Krishan,
As per my understanding you require just a credit check in the sales order level, which can be implemented using credit management in sales order level . In that case system will automatically block the sales order if the credit limit is exceeded.
So you do not need a DELIVERY BLOCK reason assigned to your SALES ORDER TYPE in VOV8.
Please clarify, whether you need to block the sales order and delivery due to credit limit...
or is it just sales order which need to be blocked ?
you can get the detailed configuration steps in SDN or the same is as follows.

Credit Exposure : 52,000.00
Risk Category : 003 High Risk
My user want to create sales order for free item for customer ABC, the customer abc credit limit already exceeded .and the item in sales order not contain any value, it should past the sales order creation. how to allow Free item past the credit limit checking ?To reslove this issue,
I. you can create a new sales order type. for which you make the credit control de-active.
2. If you can't create a new order type and this cotrol should happen at item category level.
then try config at the IMG>Sales & Distribution>Basic function>creditmanagement>credit management/riskmanagement setting>Determine Active Receivables Per Item Category.

Credit limit check and Payment terms
HI,
Is it possibile to enforce new credit limit check when the payment term is changed? Let's say that customer has "Immediate payment", and after few days wants to change payment term for "90 days payment term". In such case system should check new credit limit check on a sales order (va02). Could you tell me how to do that?
Best regards,
MKThanks, You were right. It runs well for the sales order with out delivery. After I create delivery in reference to this sales order and change payment terms in sales order there is no new credit control check.
Is there a possibility to run credit control check after a delivery is created? -
Dear Gurus
Can a single Customer has 2 different Credit Limit Checks i.e.
1) Region-wise and
2)Product-wise
Plz respond to [email protected]Dear Sachin,
You would assign sales area to credit control area. One credit control area per sales area.
In IMG under
Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Sales and distribution -> Assign Sales are to Credit Control Area

I am trying to load data from a datasource in R3, (its a FM generic datasource). There are millions of records but I want to exclude few document numbers from the load. Does anyone know how to exclude? I have that field name in the selections
Thanks in advance,
shresh.Hi Shreesh,
EIther you can write a Routine at the Infopackage level or do the FULL load upto PSA & then you can restrict the data by writing a start routine in the Transformation between this Datasource & your Data Target like
DELETE SOURCE_PACKAGE where SOURCE_FIELDS-ABC = "give your restriction here"
where ABC is the Source field name.
Hope it helps!
