Credit management - WortkFlow

Hi,
Can you please tell me how do i Configure Credit management in WorkFlow.
It is for approval of certain orders from the supervisor.
Can u please share some some documents relating to credit management WorkFlow
Using Business object BUS1010 Customer credit limit do you i can do the same.
Please guide and help.

Satish

Hi !
In the sales order, you can use the partner determination to find a credit representative (partner role CR) and/or a credit manager (partner role CM). If a document is blocked by the automatic credit control, a mail containing this information can be automatically sent to the credit representative or the credit manager. The document can be released directly out of the mail.
For this purpose, the following settings must be made:
1. User master record (SU01)
A user master record must be created for the person who should receive the e-mail.
2. HR master record (VPE1 or PAL3)
You must create an HR master record for credit representatives or credit managers. If you do not use Human Resources in the R/3 system, you can create a sales representative. In infotype 0105 'Communication', the user master record is linked to the HR master record. Store the user ID for communication type 0001 'System user name SAP system (SY-UNAME)'.
3. Partner determination Customizing (VOPA)
In the partner determination procedure, the origin is set for the CR and/or CM roles. As a source, you can use the customer master record of the payer (partner role PA). In the customer master record, maintain entries for roles KB or KM.
Or you can set origin A ('Credit management: Credit representative (table T024P)' as a source. Maintain relevant entries in the T024P table (transaction OB51). For this variant, user master record, HR master record and the link between both of these must also exist (Points 1 and 2).
4. Output determination
In the output determination procedure, you must define output type KRML 'Credit processing'. Create an output master record for the KRML output type, for medium 7 'SAP Office' and event 4 'Send immediately (when saving the application)'. Double-click to go to the detail of the output master record and define a dummy recipient for the output. Then go to 'Goto
-> Execution parameters'.
Sales order: Define transaction VKM3 and parameter ID AUN with the value VBAK-VBELN. Save the output master record.
Delivery: Define transaction VKM5 and parameter ID VL with the value LIKP-VBELN. Save the output master record.
An output of type KRML is not found and generated until you save the document. This is implemented with the help of a requirement that is defined in the output determination procedure for the KRML output type. In the standard system, the 009 requirement (Order) and the 010 requirement (Outbound delivery) are used.
Check the following points if no mail is sent despite the settings being made as described above:
1. Check that, on header level, the system found partners for the KB or KM functions.
2. Check whether the message of the KRML type was created and is the same as the processing status of the message.
3. Check that the used requirement is fulfilled.
Requirement 009 and 010: The credit status should have changed to blocked (VBUK-CMGST = 'B') and the next item due for the shipping should appear within the next 2 days. When changes are made to a document from VKM* transactions, the requirement is not fulfilled and no message is created.
4. Check whether, in the general office settings (SAPoffice), you are allowed to send to organizational units (here personnel number) (Tab "Addressing", flag "Organizational entity" = '''X''').
5. Check in the SAP Business Workplace if the determined recipient of the output really has not received the e-mail.

Andreas

Customized workflow-Credit management

This is in reference to a business requirement wherein Client wants to
bypass standard setting of OVA8 transaction to trigger customized
workflow by using field USER1
In the configuration of OVA8 below fields are set in section
'Released documents are still unchecked'
-Deviation in %: 3
-Number of days: 30
Now the above two fields has direct impact on USER1 field during credit
management recheck.
Requirement is to trigger customized workflow whenever a condition type
ZCRE in a SO is changed or deleted and should not depend on number of
days maintained in config.
Because of the field(Deviation in % and Number of days) maintained the
system doesnt trigger another credit check untill the number of days is
not met i.e 365.
Request to help in triggerring customized workflow whenever condition
type ZCRE is changed/deleted in SO and that can be done at anytime.

Credit Management Process based on Terms of Payment.

Hi All,
My Client wants to use SAP Credit Managment Process. The SAP is currently being used but without Credit Management. As per my initial discussion I have enclosed the requirments below. Your Kind Help will be highly appreciated.
1.     The Process has to be implemented in a 2 Step Process.
2.     The Initial Requirement is based on Terms of Payment. If the Number of Days is Overdue for the Invoice for a particular Customer, the system should issue a warning message (in the Form of Mail or any other way) which can be shown as evidence to the Customer for collection of Payment so that further Sales Transactions can take place.
(Is there the standard Process in Credit Management based on Terms of Payment)
3.     In the next step Value Base Credit Check has to be implemented. The Value will be set for a particular Customer in Credit Master. When the Sales Order is raised and if the Credit Limit is exceeded the System should issue the warning message. Based on the Warning Message Issued an email should triggered to the particular person in Finance that the Credit Limit for a particular person has been exceeded and Credit Limit needs to be increased.
Thanks & Regards,
Sam.

Dear Mr F Farooq,
1. The Process has to be implemented in a 2 Step Process.
Do the following configurations for credit management :
Refer the following link.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPLO/CreditManagementConfigaration
2. The Initial Requirement is based on Terms of Payment. If the Number of Days is Overdue for the Invoice for a particular Customer, the system should issue a warning message (in the Form of Mail or any other way) which can be shown as evidence to the Customer for collection of Payment so that further Sales Transactions can take place.
(Is there the standard Process in Credit Management based on Terms of Payment)
Now for this requirement, since different billing documents for the same customer can have different payment terms (whcih means different billing will be due on different date) , please make the following changes in OVA8
Check for 'oldest open item'
Now follow my reply in the below thread.
Sales order to be blocked based on customer payment terms and credit limit
You can use WORKFLOW to trigger mail when such a message is triggered in the sales order , due to credit check.
Ask your ABAP-er for details on workflow.
3. In the next step Value Base Credit Check has to be implemented. The Value will be set for a particular Customer in Credit Master. When the Sales Order is raised and if the Credit Limit is exceeded the System should issue the warning message. Based on the Warning Message Issued an email should triggered to the particular person in Finance that the Credit Limit for a particular person has been exceeded and Credit Limit needs to be increased.
Just configure according to the thread given for 1st POINT.
CHECK FOR DYNAMIC and set reaction as 'C' and check STATUS /BLOCK.
Maintain the credit limit in the FD32.
Now when the sales order value exceeds the credit limit , a message will be triggered.
Use the concept of WORKFLOW to create mail based on this message .
When the user gets mail, he can maintain the new credit limit in FD32 and release the document for delivery/billing in VKM3.
Revert back if there is any issues.
Thanks & Regards,
Hegal K Charles

Use of step release in credit management?

Hi,
Is it possible to use step by step release or release strategy like the one in Purchase Orders to release the blocked sales orders in VKM1/VKM3?
Credit check can be either static or dynamic,
Blocked Orders should go to persons as per the amount to be released in Delegation of Authority.
what functioanlity in credit management can be used to achieve this.
Details of the configuration/step by step advise will be appreciated.
Helpfull answers will be rewarded.
Thanks and Regards

This can be achieved by giving the authorisations to the relevant transactions to the users with different authorisation levels.
Technically in credit management you can assign the creation to one person and change to another person.
But if you want authorisation based on levels say w.r.t amount then you need to do the organisational mapping of the people first and then create a workflow situation. What this will do is based on the different criteria you set it will seek the receiver of the message and download the message in the inbox of the person mapped who will then be able to process it.
For this you need to define workflow containers with receivers and is part of the workflow management.
IN SD plain its not possible but even
if workflow is not execute you could perhaps write an user exit where the system will first check the authorisation level of the user and see if the condition set is fulfilled and allow the person to process the transaction. This way we ca fulfil your requirement.

Warnings in FSCM Credit Management for negative credit check.

Hello,
I am implementing FSCM Credit Management. I have below requirement.
At the time of creation of sales order, if credit limit is exceeded then only warnings are required, Sales order should not go in the block (as available in earlier SAP AR Credit Management)
Is this also possible in FSCM Credit Management ? As in the configuration for credit rules, in the log , only extensive log, no log & error message is supported. Follow up event also has option of blocking business partner or workflow once credit check is performed & if it is negative.
Thanks in advance.

Credit Manager

Dear SAP Experts,
PLease tell me how do I configure Industry Credit manager for my system.
I want Bussiness Partners in the Customer master as Credit Manager.
Who will only have the authorization to release a failed credit check.
I have configured Automatic credit check and its working fine.
The credit manager would be a person form management in payroll, the employee number would be taken from the employee master.
CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN THE WORK FLOW CONFIGS STEPS
Edited by: EXPLORING MULTIDIMENSIONAL SAP on Sep 6, 2008 4:00 PM

This is workflow. The procedure is as follows:
The organisation management should have been implemented. This is a prequesite since the levels will be defined there.
Next yu need to define the sender and the receiver and the credit manager authorisations.
When you create a credit memo request, the created event is triggered for object BUS2094 and the workflow template 20000009 is started.
The system checks how high the net value of the credit memo request is. If the net value is below limit 1 (minimum limit), the system automatically releases the credit memo request in background processing.
If the net value of the credit memo request is over limit value 1, the system terminates workflow template 20000009 and initiates workflow template 20000019.
The relevant employee, depending on the value of the credit memo request and the organizational structure in use (sales organization, distribution channel, division), is then informed of this by the arrival of a work item in their integrated inbox. If the employee releases the credit memo request, the system ends the workflow and deletes the work item from the inbox.
If the employee stops processing the work item, it remains in the inbox until it has been
completed and only then is the workflow finished. If the employee changes any of the determining factors in the credit memo request (such as net value), the net value of the credit memo request has to be re-checked. The system deletes the work item from the inbox.
Workflow template 20000009 receives a terminating event and workflow template 20000019 is triggered. Depending on the value of the item, the relevant employee is informed and receives a work item in their integrated inbox. Once the employee has finished processing the work item (by rejecting or releasing the credit memo request), the workflow is concluded. If the credit memo
request is changed, workflow template 20000019 is called up. Processing continues until the credit memo request has either been rejected or released.
This is very technical. It would be better to consult a workflow or a basis consultant for this.

Credit Management doesn't release hold from order (11i)

Hi guys...
In some cases Credit Management doesn't release the hold from order automatically.
I'm debugging CM Workflow and I didn't find anything.
So in these cases we need to force it by executing a custom concurrent.
I've found some open bugs at metalink but I'd like to know the reason for that.
Anybody knows?
Tks
Best Regards,

I have a very similar problem:
I wrote an application that uses SAP DI and writes many dozents of draft documents. It doesn´t make a difference if I set
objDoc = objCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oDrafts) for each document or not: every document leeches round about 2-4 MB. That is, in case of an import of 100 documents, up to 400 MB are used.
Isn´t there a possibility to minimize the volume of leeched memory?
Info: I´m using DI and UI, but I am filtering ANY Events from the UI (just need it for singel-sign on).

Marian

Risk category field is missing in dso for 0fiar_o09 credit management.

Hi BI Experts,
I am using the standard extractor for the credit management dso 0fiar_o09. The field for risk category originates from our R3 system in table knkk-ctplc. It displays correctly in the psa. The transformation rsds 0fi_ar_9 maps it to 0risk_categ. It appears as an infoObject in the infoSource. The trcs transformation maps the rule also.
However, when I try to display the data in the dso, the risk category field does not display at all.
Please help with any possible suggestions to display the missing field.
Kind regards,
Cheryl Adamonis

I resolved this issue by removing the check in the 'attribute only' selection on the general tab of the infoObject.

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

Open Sales Order Values in Credit Managment

Hi,
1. I want to include the open sales orders that were created before implementing the functionality of Credit Managment. How to check the credit limits for that sales orders.
Fro Example. If i want do the credit checks for 1000 open sales orders.
2. How to reset the customer credit limit in FD32. I tried using the t.code f.28, but it will not be reset to zero(0).
Thank you,
Ravi

Hello Ravi,
You can try this: in table VBAK, you might have the date when this a particular order was created( ERDAT or sometihng like that..). You'll have to join table VBAK/VBAP/VBRK(billing table)/VBFA and the logic should be that the program should pick up all the orders created before 1 yr and should also check that the items are not rejected, and the delivery not yet created.
Check the following fields:
VBAK-ERDAT, VBAP-ERDAT, VBAP-ABGRU, VBAP-AEDAT.

Raghu.

Open Delivery value update error in credit management

Hi
We have credit management active at delivery level. The value of open deliveries is not getting updated correctly for items with material substitution (material determination). For all other items, its getting updated correctly.
E.g Let say the credit limit set in FD32 is 10000 and the credit limit used % is 98 and the credit exposure value is 9800.
Now when I create an order with qty 10 for mat A, it creates a sub item B due to material determination and the value of the item is Rs.1200. In our system, the sub item with TAPS item category is relevant for pricing.
Then I create a delivery in VL01N and save it.
Now if i check in FD33, the credit limit used should be 101% and the credit exposure value should be 11000, but its not updating the open delivery value correctly. Its not considering the value of the new delivery.
However, If I add a normal item (TAN) in the same sales order and create a delivery for that item and save it, its updating the credit exposure based on the value of the normal item in the delivery correctly.
How to make the system update the open delivery values correctly by taking the items with material determination also into account.??
Please advise if any specific settings need to be done.
Regards
Madhu

Hi,
the system updates open values for credit management. These are:
Open sales order credit value (S066-OEIKW)
Open delivery credit value (S067-OLIKW)
Open billing document credit value (S067-OFAKW)
The system updates the open values in standard SIS structures S066 and S067. Technically, the structures are transparent tables. You can display the contents using transaction SE16 or using table maintenance.
The S067-OLIKW will give the open delivery credit values credit.Check in you system whether this table is updated with the delivery values for the credit account(customer number)
RVKRED77 u2013 Reorganize SD credit data
When updating errors occur, it enables you to reorganize the open credit, delivery and billing document values.
If the table is not updated run this report in background.
