Credit Limit issue during PGI despite Credit available to customer

Dear All,
We have configured for Credit Management for Customer.
Everything was working perfectly fine for a very long time. But now there suddenly seems to be an issue. The customer has available credit but still the system does not allow us to do PGI. It gives an error message that the customer credit limit has been exceeded.
We checked in FBL5n and found that credit is available. There are no backlogs. But in FD32 we found that the credit exposure shows values in positive and the Blocked check box is ticked therefore blocking the customer. When we checked through Menu path - Environment - Sales & Distribution Docs - Open Orders and Open Deliveries , here we found that in table S067 there are open orders and open deliveries. But upon cross checking with VA05n and VL06/Vl04, we found no open deliveries or open sales orders.
This seems to us as a strange issue that the system is not updating the LIS table although we have not configured for LIS.
We contacted SAP for this and were given a temporary solution to execute program RVDREK77 to clear the table. But this dosent seem to be a permanent solution since we have to run this everyday as a background job. Also this program can be run only when no other transaction happens in SAP.
If anyone has faced a similar problem, I would request to suggest us a permanent solution for this.
Thanks & Regards,
Rohan Gudavalli.

Hi Rohan,
As per my understanding of the issue, There is problem in credit updation. To manage this you have to run the program RVKRED77. On executing this program system will reorganize the credit in case of update errors. Please have this execution done once in a week during week ends for required credit control areas. This is quite common problem we encounter regarding the updation of credit and the only way is to run the mentioned program periodically.
As you know normally in credit S066 and S067 information structures are involved in the updation. These information structures work in tandem with the update group which is assigned in OVA8 screen resulting in the updation of credit.
When an order is created S066 information structure gets effected and OEIKW field value gets increased.
When order is delivered S066-OEIKW gets decreased and S067-OLIKW gets increased.
When delivery is billed S067-OLIKW gets decreased and S067-OFAKW gets increased.
So credit is completely controlled by the information structures and the update group. Some times it happens that system will not be able to update the credit. To re-organize the credit incase of update errors please have a background job set up done prferably during week endsfor the program RVKRED77.
As you are saying that you have problem with only one customer; please check whether oldest open items check is evaluated.
Please use the program Check_CM to analyze the credit. On inputing the order number or the delivery number you can get the complete analysis of the credit done for the order or delivery.
Hope this explains.

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.

Maintain credit limit in different currency then Credit Control Area

Hi,
I have a several credit control areas, some in USD and some are maintained in Canadian dollars (CAD).
We would like the credit limit of all of these to be maintained in USD. For the CAD based CCAr's though, it reads the credit limit in CAD. How can we specify that the credit limits for these CAD companies are in USD?
Thanks,

hi,
this is to inform you that,
here you have two options basing on your useage of CCA:
1. centralised CCA: on credit limit you can mainatain collectively.
2.decentralised CCA: you can define credit data for your customer for each company code.
so please analyse where your process stands and
one answer commonly is OB08 - please maintain exchange rates against USD & CAD.
hope this clears your issue

Issues during posting and Clearing together in custom code SAP FICA

Hello Experts,
We have a custom functionality for credit card refunds. For account update during refunds a new debit document is created and force cleared with the credit card payment posted earlier on customer account. Logic for posting the debit document and clearing it with an already existing payment is in the same RFC Function module. Once the document is posted code issues COMMIT work and then goes for clearing.
We are facing intermittent failures during this process. Clearing fails to happen on some accounts.
Can this be because we are trying to do two types of database update on same document( i.e., creation and then clearing)?
Kindly advice.
Thanks,
Josep

Hi Josep,
Same situation was faced by me in custom RFC FM,
so as a solution i put a wait of 2 second after debit document was posted and then credit card payment was executed after wait, moreover one more thing to be taken care is that while posting the debit document system apply some locking entry so if possible clear the lock entry and then start credit card payment.
Hope it helps.
Thanks

Credit limit / Commitment limit issue?

As for customer and sales side, amount of sales order will be also account for credit limit/commitment limit.
So what's the difference from aspect of BP as
customer and sales side?
Why must commitment limit be larger than credit limit?

Hi Kenneth
The credit limit means how much in money value he can buy on credit. Commitment means that is how much he can order up to in money value.
So lets say joe soap has a
credit limit of $10000.00
Commitment limit of $15000.00
That means he can order $15000.00 worth of goods but only $10000.00 he can take on credit. The $5000.00 worth of goods he must either pay for or settle his account with $5000.00
Hope this helps

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

 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.

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

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.

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.

Advance payment can not be used against credit limit and another sales ord

Hi,
I have advance payment scenario where customer want advance payment cannot be used against another sales order and against any credit limit.
Let me put one example.
Customer X is having credit limit of 1000 USD, if my client is received customized product order then he will take advance for this special order but customer X is already enjoying credit limit of 1000 USD. In this scenario my client wants advance payment received cannot use against any sales order and against any credit limit.
If I will post advance payment in F-29 then customer credit exposure will decrease against credit limit in FD32 which will affect normal sales order credit limit. Here customer does not want to utilize advance payment against credit limit of customer which is use for normal sales order.
Please suggest

Hi,
You can use the SAP standard documentary payment management functionality together with credit management for this purpose. You need to configure Documentary payments in SAP first. For that see below link;
[Documentary payments|http://www.learnsaptips.com/2011/09/how-to-handle-letter-of-credit-in-sap.html]
Then the advance payment has to be created as a financial document in SAP. This is just a SD only document and no impact to FI. During sales order creation you can assign this document number in to your sales document. It is possible to add it to sales order header as well as to individual line items.
If the attached financial document is sufficient to cover the value of the total sales order (If you attached to header) or value of the line item (If you attach it to a line item), system will NOT take that value for credit exposure calculation.
As far as I understood from your question, this is exactly what you're looking for.
Best regards,
Anupa

Credit limit and last paid amount by the customer

Hello,
I have one requirement in Account Receivable cube (0FI_AR_4). I need to find CREDIT LIMIT and LAST PAID DATE
So I had done the enhancement for 0FI_AR_4 data source and populated the required values. I had checked in RSA3 for the accuracy of data and everything looks fine.. (in RSA3 every line item for particular customers will be populated with the Credit limit and last paid date. )
Then I created 2 Info Object KEY FIGURES in BW and added it to the 0FI_AR_4 Cube.. .. the info object should display only the latest credit limit maintained and the last payment date for the particular customer. So i have some doubt about the property setting of the INFO OBJECT. Could any one please assist me, what setting is required to fetch only latest credit limit and last payment date.
Thanks
Sachin

Dear Sachin
The credit limit and last payment date is available as part of the standard source FI_AR_9.
Now if you have appended the same in the FI_AR_4 , you can maintain both the fields as keyfigure. For credit limit bring in the currency also in the append
Credit Limit - Keyfigure as Amount with Unit 0CURRENCY
Date of last payment - Keyfigure as Date

Customer Credit Limit

Dear Experts,
i have received advance of INR 5Lacs from a newly created Customer with defualt credit limit of INR 1. Now during Sales Order for INR 3.50Lacs, the systems displays "Static Credit Check : Credit Limit exceeded by xxxx INR.
why inspite of receiving advance, this still shows for credit limit check. please someone explain & help me out.

Hi,
When creating Sales order system goes to Credit limit tab and checking when credit limit is 1 lac naturally it will through error eventhough you receive 5 lakhs as advance.
My suggestion is to change the credit limit from 1 lac to 5 lac subject to approval of sales staff.
Thanks and Regards

Credit Limit by specific Material (product)

Dear Experts,
Could you please suggest me any body how to maintain credit limit by specific material (Product).
Let say Customer Pepsi has 3 products i.e X,Y and Z....pepsi (customer) has credit limit 100 USD. Here the customer credit limit is 100 usd but this customer has that credit limit by product wise that is:
X Product 30 usd
Y Product 50 usd
Z Product 20 USD
When they are creating they wont cross credit limit by product wise even though the customer has credit limit if X product credit limit 20 usd exceeded. Could you please suggest me how to maintain this scenario.
Thanks in advance,
VS

hello, friend.
credit management focuses on the customer. credit info centers on the customer/credit account. materials are not directly controlled by credit management.
however, it is possible to do credit management per material by assigning different divisions to your materials. then, you define and assign different credit control areas to your sales areas. indirectly, materials can then be controlled by the different credit control areas. you can have different credit limits for a customer pre credit control area, all controlled in turn by a central credit limit (total).
however, this is not recommended as it complicates your credit management. it may also pose problems in your sales order processing, despite the ability to process several divisions in the same document.

Static check and credit limit

Hi,
If I tick static check in OVA8, may i know besides open order and open delivery which adjacent to static check, credit limit in FD33 also considered as static check?
In FD33, the credit exposure (receivable/liabilities/sales value) to determine credit limit, I would like to know if it is also considered static check if limit over.
Thanks

Yes. If you check Static Credit Check in OVA8, system will check the Credit Limit Defined in FD32 (displayed in FD33).
Static Check considers the Credit Exposure displayed in FD33 & the available Credit Limit.
The only thing not available in Static Check is the Horizon factor. (With Horizon in Dynamic Check, you can decide uption how many months in future you want to consider open Orders).
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
