Customer's Credit Limit is zero

Hi all,
I eecuted report RFDKLI40 and i noted that a few customers have credit limit set to 0,00Euro
Could you please help me with what does this mean?
Does this customer by-pass credit limit control or not?
Thanks in advance for your help.
John

Customer's assigned with credit limit equal to zero are "ship-to" and not "sold-to", thus there is no need to pass credit limit.
For example, one customer ("Sold-To") has many branches ("Ship-to") around the country and it has been decided to perform credit limit control on the "sold-to" customer who is also responsible for its branches' orders and payments.
Regards,
John

Billing - Representing the customer's credit limit and premitted products

Dear All,
We intend to implement SAP CRM billing model in our system.
Currently we have 2 fundamental questions we need to solve:
1) How to represent the customer credit limit.
2 ) What is the best way to indicate his permitted products
As we operate in the energy and gas industry. An example for usage scenario might be :
The customer can use euro un-leaded fuel up to daily limit of 50 Liters,
and up to a monthly limit of 1000 Liters.
He can also buy 3 specific motor oils types with his loyalty card.
We need a standard way to represent those restrictions our system,
later the billing model will have to take them into account.
Please Advice.
Thank You,
David Tal

Dear Debashish
As per my understanding, this is because the credit limit check is always applicable at 2 levels only i.e. Sales Order and Delivery.
u r talking about Open Billing Doc and Open Items, but this is also covered within Open Sales Orders and Deliveries, isn't it?
Hope this will help u.

Prepaid Customer - ByPass Credit Limit Warning

Hi,
We have customers who have a credit limit, have prepaid payment terms and will prepay their order before delivery....
Is there a way to process the prepayment and bypass the credit limit warning? I tried using a A/R downpayment invoice, but the credit limit warning still appears....
Thanks,
Jane
John

Jane,
Credit limit validation merely takes the DocTotal into consideration. Are you talking about the Warning pop-up or do you have a approval process also?
I don't think the system behaviour can be changed for Customer with a specific payment term.

Customer Activity Restrictions You can restrict the creation of sales documents for customers and prompt a warning message according to the following parameters:
Credit Limit u2013 Checks whether adding the sales document for the customer causes deviation from the credit limit defined for the customer (Payment Terms tab in the Business Partner Master Data window).
A warning message appears if <the customer's account balance> + <the amount of the current document> exceeds the customer's credit line.
Commitment Limit u2013 Checks whether adding the sales document for the customer causes deviation from the commitment limit defined for the customer (Payment Terms tab in the Business Partner Master Data window).
A warning message appears if <the customer's account balance>+ <the total amount in undeposited checks> + <the amount of the current document> exceeds the customer's commitment limit.
Once you select the required option(s) described above, select the type of documents to which the restrictions apply and for which a warning message is launched:
- A/R Invoice
- Delivery
- Sales Order
These setting are updated immediately per company, for all users.

Hi,
Open items check means it will consider all the open items when it is doing credit check. Here it adds all the open items amount and do the credit check..
Oldest open item means it will consider only the oldest open item and based on tht i will do credit check..Here i will check the oldest open item value and its date then do the credit check..
Coming to payment terms check, system is responding correctly.. because payment terms are immed due net. tht means still time is there in the same day. that is the reason it is not blocking the second document.
once move to 2nd day then it means first doc is not cleared tht is the reason it is blocking the 2 nd doc on 2nd doc..
Hope u have understand..

Assigning Credit limit on Customer creation

Dear All,
Is there any way to Assign Credit limit to ZERO automatically when i create customer using xd01.
Thank you,
NoMi

Hi,
you can have a default credit limit when you r creating customer
maintain value in the field Credit limit in OB45 - Define credit control area
Credit limit entered in the related control area of the customer's
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 following fields si maintained
o   risk category
o   credit representative group
o   credit limit
is maintained for the corresponding control area.
In this way you can ensure that a credit restriction will be effective
for new customers, too, as soon as the customer has been created.

Cred.lim.used field in FD32 not getting updated

hi All,
I have a scenario where my Cred.lim.used field which is a %age value is not getting updated in fd32
when I go to fd33 for a customer my Credit limit is 1,000,000.00
and Credit exposure is 1,138.28- but the %age is 0.00 %.
any suggestions
thanks,

Hi
Think logically how it will show the credit limit used in percentage just calculate
credit limit used*100/ total credit limit
1,138.28*100
1,000,000.00
will come to 0.11 % so system wont show it will consider only if it is more than 1%

Sales Order Free item and Credit Limit Checking

Hiii Guys,
need your help,
How to release Sales Order free item when credit limit exceeded ?
Here some info :
Customer : ABC
Credit limit : 50,000.00
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 VS Posted Date Check

Dear Experts
Our client have a requirement on customer credit limit and I would like to seek for some good solutions.
Here I provide one sample scenario: In SAP Business One a customer with a credit limit of $100,000 and account balance of $110,000. After a posted date check of $20,000 is deposited, customer account balance will be reduced to $90,000 and a Sales Order/ AR Invoice with amount less than $10,000 can be added for that customer without credit limit alert.
However, our client thinks that it is not make sense to reduce the customer account balance given that a posted date check is deposited as the posted date check may not be cashed if the customers do not have money in their account.
Would it be possible to separate posted date check payment amount from deducting the customer account balance? or would it be other workarounds?
Thank you very much
Regards
Elton

Dear jbrotto
Thanks for your reply.
Could you explain in details on how to make use of the commitment limit?
As far as I know, commitment limit also considers the account balance of customer

Now,The customer's credit limit got exceeded and sales order is released via vkm3 the system is confirming only free items(Tann).It's not confirming main items(Tan).
Kindly suggest me.

Hi
The only other way i see to stop is to tick / activate complete delivery indicator in Sales Order and use incompletion procedure or make this field as mandatory in customer master but in the second case it will be applicable for all orders for customer .

Tracking Credit Limit Change History

Hi,
Does anyone know what tables I would need to look at to track changes to a customer's credit limit? Also any key fields I would need to take note of?
I need to create a SQL query to report on credit limit changes per customer.
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,
This needs to be written a little better but try this!
SELECT     derivedtbl_1.CardCode, derivedtbl_1.CardName, derivedtbl_1.DebtLine, derivedtbl_1.Updated, dbo.OUSR.U_NAME AS [User Name]
FROM         (SELECT DISTINCT CardCode, CardName, DebtLine, MIN(UpdateDate) AS Updated, MIN(LogInstanc) AS Instance
                       FROM          dbo.ACRD
                       GROUP BY CardCode, CardName, DebtLine
                       HAVING      (CardCode = '1000049')) AS derivedtbl_1 INNER JOIN
                      dbo.ACRD AS ACRD_1 ON derivedtbl_1.CardCode = ACRD_1.CardCode AND derivedtbl_1.Instance = ACRD_1.LogInstanc INNER JOIN
                      dbo.OUSR ON ACRD_1.UserSign = dbo.OUSR.USERID
See if its what you are looking for!
Kind regards,

Credit Limit on basis by specific 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

Workaround is:
1) Create three different credit control areas.
2) Assign the three different credit control areas to the respective sales areas.
3) Maintain different credit limits for the customer in the individual credit control areas.
4) Whenever the order is created in the respective sales area the credit limit for that particular sales area will come into picture.
Assumption is that three different materials belong to three different divisions so that the sales area is differing. Because of different sales area you can assign different credit control areas.

GSL.

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.
regards.
