Risk category in credit management

Hi,
What is the role of risk category in credit management?
Regards

Hi,
It enables the credit manager to classify customers according to commercial risk. Along with the document type, the risk category helps to determine which kind of credit check the system automatically carries out. For example, you may want to carry out stringent checks at order receipt for high risk customers, but waive a credit check for customers with a very strong payment history.

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.

Difference between credit management and risk management

Hi friends,
can any one please explain about difference between creditmanagement and risk management.
Thanks&regards

Hi Madhusudhan,
The payment guarantee for the value to be billed plays a central role within Sales. Credit management effectively allows you to minimise the credit risk.
Risk management for receivables is another useful tool for setting a payment guarantee to cover the credit risk.
Hope this Clairifies your Doubt and Please Reward If Really helpful.
Thanks and Regards,

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.

Relation Between Interest and Risk Categories for Customers

Hi
Can somebody tell me if there is a relationship between interest rates and risk categories. We have not implemented neither treasury nor Hedging.
Would like to link the interest as per the risk categories. As the risk changes, interest should also vary.
Can this be achieved
Prasad

Hi Prasad,
It is all AR functionality: Dunning/Interest Calculation/Credit Management/Risk Categories; I think it is doable to adjust interest on late payments based on customer risk category; but I doubt you will get detailed answer on this forum. FICO forum may be better.

How To Do Configuration For Credit Management
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

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.

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.
Difference Between Simple and Automatic Credit Check Types
In automatic check, difference between static and dynamic checks.
SIMPLE CREDIT CHECK : Tr.Code - FD32
It Considers the Doc.Value + Open Items.
Doc.Value : Sales Order Has been saved but not delivered
Open Item : Sales Order has been saved , Delivered, Billed & Transfered to FI, but not received the payment from the customer.
Eg: Customer Credit Limit is Rs.1,00,000/-
Suppose Doc.Value + Open Item Value is Rs.1,10,000/-
Here credit limit exceeds then system reacts.
Options : A) Warning Message
B) Error Message (Sales Order won't be saved)
C) Error Message with Delivery Block
AUTOMATIC CREDIT CHECK : Give extra credit facilities to the particular customer.
STATIC CREDIT LIMIT DETERMINATION :Checking Group + Risk Catageory + Credit Control Area.
A) Credit Checking Groups : Types of Checking Groups.
01) Sales
02) Deliveries
03) Goods Issue
At all the above 3 levels orders can be blocked.
B) Risk Catageory : Based on the risk catageories company decide how much credit has to give to the customer.
HIGH RISK (0001) : LOW CREDIT
LOW RISK (0002) : MORE CREDIT
MEDIUM RISK(0003) : Average Credit
Static Credit Check it checks all these doc value & check with the credit limit
1) Open Doc.Value / Sales Order Value : Which is save but not delievered
2) Open Delivery Doc.Value : Which is delivered but not billed
3) Open Billing Doc.Value : Which is billed but not posted to FI
4) Open Item : Which is transfered to FI but not received from the customer.
DYNAMIC CREDIT CHECK : 1) Open Doc
2) Open Delivery
3) Open Billing
4) Open Items
5) Horizon Period = Eg.3Months
Here the System will not consider the above 1,2,3& 4 values for the lost 3 months
Then assign the Sales Doc & Del Documents.
Sales Doc.Type(OR) + credit Check(0) + Credit Group (01)
Credit Limit Check for Delivery Type : Del.Type (LF) + Del Credit
Group (02) + Goods Issue Credit Group (03)

Grace period in Credit Management

Hi All,
Can any one let me know how are grace periods in Risk categories maintained in Credit Management .
For Instance Low risk category:5days
Medium Risk Category :2days
And where does the effect can be seen ?
Regards,Rajneesh

Hi...
Grace periods are configured based ipn risk category. Risk category is alloacted to the customer based on his past history. Like you dont want to block the customer who has good credit history but could not pay his last invoice on time and you want to give him 7 days grace period rather blocking the deliervy for the same.

Risk Categories in OVA8 - New Customers

Hello,
We recently set up new risk categories in OVA8. One of the things we would like to do is put an overall block on any account in a risk category New Customer status. Our intentions were to block users from entering orders before we were able to complete the Credit Management set-up so that we can prevent orders from going in on accounts that we have not approved. Is anyone aware of a setting that would accomplish this?
Thanks, Kevin

Maintain billing block in the sales order type's Billing section in tcode VOV8.
To brief you on billing block - It indicates if the item is blocked for billing. The system can automatically propose a billing block for sales documents that must be checked before billing. If the system proposes a block, you can change the block manually for each item. If the system does not propose a block, enter one of values predefined for your system. If the item has more than one schedule line, the block applies to each line. You can change the block for individual schedule lines.
Simply, it can be controlled by giving authorization for VA01(CREATE), VA02(CHANGE) and VA03(DISPLAY). Give authorization to VA02 to one whom you want it to be controlled by. Give authorization VA01 and VA03 one who creates sale order. By doing so billing block can be removed by one who is authorization to access VA02.
OR
Maintain authorisation object.
Then auth object V_VBAK_AAT Activity 43 in Tcode SU21.
You need to create the object for field FAKSK ie. Billing block in VBAK.
Then you need to assign the same in respective roles.
Assign the same to the respective users.
Thanks & Regards

Risk Categories

Hi,
Can anyone tell me where the risk categories are configured in Credit Management? Transaction code and Menu path.
Thanks
Raghu.

Hi,
Risk categories are not linked to Credit Control Area. Risk Categories are assigned to Credit Master in Transaction Code FD32 / FD33.
Further for each risk category in Automatic credit control ?(T.code OVA8), the different checks to be carried out and the message (error / warning) is configured.
Thanks

What is credit management how should we tell

hi
gurus my question is what is credit management.
2) If one customer exceeds his credit limit the sales order is blocked in the enduser system. WHO will release that order. Whether enduser called his higher authority by telephone or mailed or it is automatically knows by the superior means who is working in the managerial level working in n.s.o.
thanks in advance

hi
The customers credit limit is assigned to the customer by going to the Logistics overview screen, Accounting, Financial accounting, Accounts receivable, Master records, Credit management, Change.
A credit control area is an organizational unit that is comprised of one or more company codes.
Create a credit control area and assign it to a company code in the Enterprise structure under financial accounting.
A customers risk category is a grouping category that controls the credit checks when automatic credit control takes place.
In SD credit check can occur in only three places: sales order, delivery and goods issue.
The system can use a simple credit check, static credit check or a dynamic credit check.
The simple credit check is set at the document type level e.g., sales order, delivery etc.
Simple Credit Check
Assign credit limit check to the sales doc type:
A warning message
B Error message
C Delivery block
D Automatic credit control
SAP enables static and dynamic credit checks so that a sales order for a good customer with a low risk credit rating is created and a sales order for a high risk customer with a high risk rating for the same doc type is blocked.
Automatic credit control divides the sales doc types, delivery doc types, and goods issue into specific credit groups.
An outcome procedure is defined using the credit group, the customers risk category along with the credit control area.
Risk categories are defined in the FI module.
Create the different credit groups e.g., for sales order, delivery, goods issue.
Assign the credit groups to the sales and delivery doc types.
Now define the settings for automatic credit control -> combination of credit control area, customers risk category, and credit group.
All that remains is the assignment of the risk category to the customer master record. This occurs in Finance by going to the Logistics overview screen -> Accounting, Financial Accounting, Accounts receivable, Master records, Credit management, Change or FD32.
The static credit check is a check comparing the credit limit assigned to the customer to the total value of open sales orders, plus the total value of open deliveries not yet invoiced, plus the total value of open billing documents not yet passed on to accounting, plus the total value of billing documents that have been passed on to accounting, but which have not been paid by the customer.
The dynamic credit check is a check comparing the credit limit assigned to the customer to the total value of open sales orders not yet delivered, plus the total value of open deliveries not yet invoiced, plus the total value of open billing documents not yet passed on to accounting, plus the total value of billing documents that have been passed on to accounting, but which have not been paid by the customer. The dynamic credit check has an attached time period that states that the system is not to include sales orders in the total of outstanding items created after the specified time period.
The credit relevant data is updated into an information structure, where it is accessed and updated. Thus each automatic credit control must be assigned an update group. The system allows for no update, and update group 000012, 000015 and 000018. However, update group 000012 is thorough and used in most businesses.
To view the customers credit master sheet, proceed from the logistics screen and go to accounting, financial accounting, accounts receivable, environment, credit management, check, credit master sheet [F.35].
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.

The configuration part of credit managemnt is
CREDIT MANAGEMENT:
A credit limit may be a customers credit limit, which is the permitted limit of value of open items, such as invoices not yet paid, plus the value of open sales orders.
The credit limit is the total combined value of the following documents:
Net value of sales order
Open Sales order: order created, but not delivered
Open deliveries: delivered, but not invoiced
Open billing doc: value of billing doc, which has not yet been forwarded to accounting
Open items: forwarded to accounting, but not settled.
Types of Credit Check
Simple Credit Check
Automatic Credit Check
o Static
o Dynamic
Simple Credit Check:
SPRO- IMG- SD- Basic Functions- Credit Mgmt/ Risk Mgmt- Simple Credit Check- Assign Credit Check to Doc Types.
Based on sales doc types
It will check all the above-mentioned docs & if the credit limit exceeds, the system responds in the way defined by you in the configuration menu.
Cannot differentiate according to customer
3 ways to Control the Simple Credit Check:
A: warning
B: error message: the doc cannot be saved
C: warning message with delivery block: the doc can be saved but is automatically blocked for delivery.
Automatic Credit Check:
This credit mgmt control is maintained by using the automatic credit control functionality. The automatic credit control divides the sales doc types, the delivery doc types, & goods issue into specific credit groups. It also uses the customers risk category as assigned to the CMD of the payer & assigns an outcome proc to the combination of the above 2 objects, i.e. the credit group & customer risk category along with the credit control area. The definition of customers risk category is carried out in the fin accounting module.
A customers risk category is a grouping category that controls the credit check when automatic credit control takes place. Thus one can assign high-risk customers to risk category for e.g. A01, medium risk to B01 and low risk to C01.
Automatic credit check divides customers in to 3 categories:
High-risk customers,
Low risk customers &
Medium risk customers.
A credit check can only occur at 3 places: Credit Group
Sales order: for high risk customers
Delivery: for medium risk customers
Goods Issue: for low risk customers
Credit Control Area (CCA): highest organizational element in credit management. A credit control area is an organizational unit that is comprised of one or more company codes. A company code can have no more than one credit control area. Defined by FI.

One merely creates a credit group for each differentiation in the doc type. You enter the credit groups when you configure the sales doc types for credit management & define the automatic credit check. The following credit groups are contained in the standard R/3 system:
01: credit group for sales order
02: credit group for delivery
03: credit group for goods issue
CG (Credit Group) Doc Credit Group
01 Credit group for sales order
02 Credit group for delivery
03 Credit group for goods issue
Assign Sales Documents & Delivery Documents:
Sales Doc Type Descp Check Credit Credit Group
OR Std Order D 01
Delivery Type Descp Del Credit Group GI Credit Group
LF Delivery 02 03
Define for each sales doc type whether a credit check should be carried out. Enter D if an automatic credit check should be carried out.
Specify a Credit Group
Specify a Credit Group for the Delivery Type for which you want to carry out a credit check
Specify a Goods Issue Credit Group for the Delivery Type for which a credit check is to be carried out for goods issue.
SIMPLE CREDIT CHECK CANNOT BE ASSIGNED TO DOCUMENTS.
Define Automatic Credit Control:
One can now assign settings to the combination of the Credit Control Area, the Customer Risk Category & the Credit Group.
CCA Risk Cat Credit Group Credit Control
4500 001 01 Low risk sales orders
4500 001 02 Low risk deliveries
4500 001 03 Low risk goods issue
4500 002 01 Medium risk sales orders
4500 002 02 Medium risk deliveries
4500 002 03 Medium risk goods issue
4500 003 01 High risk sales orders
4500 003 02 High risk deliveries
4500 003 03 High risk goods issue
Select line item and go to details, you can decide whether to do Static or Dynamic Credit Check. Credit Horizon can also assigned here. Additional function checks can be performed here:
A credit check when the maximum document value is exceeded.
A credit check when changing critical fields.
The risk category assignment occurs in the same place as the customers credit limit, which is the customers credit management screen. That is, the risk category is assigned to the customer by the Finance in transaction code FD32.
The customer credit master record is divided in to 5 views:
Overview Screen: gives an overview of credit settings in relation to the customer, including his credit limit, credit exposure, the %tage of credit limit used, his payment data & his risk category.
Address: view gives the customers address details as they appear in CMD
Central Data: is a view that shows the total credit limit the customer can receive across all credit control areas as well as the maximum limit he can receive in one credit control area.
Status: view shows the customers actual individual details according to particular CCA being investigated. This includes his credit limit, percentage used, credit exposure, risk category, whether he is blocked due to credit or not.
Payment history: view displays the payments made by the customer for a particular credit control area where a comp code is assigned.
Static Credit Check Dynamic Credit Check
Net Doc Value Net Doc Value
Open Order Open Order
Open Delivery Open Delivery
Open Billing Open Billing
Open Item Open Item
Compares the total combined values of the above-mentioned documents to credit limit. Plus credit horizon. Compares the values of the following documents to credit limit + credit horizon.
Credit horizon has an attached time period that states that the system is not to include sales orders in the total of outstanding items created after that specified period i.e. for the purpose of evaluating credit, you want the system to ignore all open orders that are due for delivery after the horizon date. Maintained for low & medium risk customers.
Update Groups
Basically it is a info structure where system stores all the data about credit limit. The credit relevant data is updated in a info structure, where it is accessed & updated. Thus each automatic credit control must be assigned an update group.
Update Group 000012
Update Group 000015: delivery & billing
Update Group 000018: sales order, delivery & billing.
Update group 000012, updates at:
Sales doc: increased order value
Delivery: decreased order value & increased delivery value
Billing: decreased delivery value & increased billing amount
Invoice: decreased billing amount & increased open item value.
Release Blocked Sales Order/ Deliveries:
VKM3: sales order
VKM5: delivery
VKM4: both
One can see the offending document. Note on the right hand side, the Status Field. This shows the check, the doc failed. If this field is empty, the doc did not fail a credit check, even though it may be in the list of SD documents that are required to be released.
To release the doc, one indicates the doc to be released and then clicks on the Release Button. The result is the offending doc entry, highlighted green. One then proceeds to save, after which you are informed the doc number has been released.
Net value with sub total A, in pricing proc, will be the basis for credit limit.
REWARD if helpfull
Thanks & Regards

Credit Management - Maximum time overdue limit for open item

Dear all,
I've this scenario to configure for automatic credit control. A customer is billed on Jan 22nd '10 and now the account receiveable shows an open item. This customer is allowed 52 calendar days to make payment for this invoice, hence no credit block yet. As such, the customer can still make orders.
In my existing configuration, I've already enable "static" credit check on "open orders" and "open deliveries". The static check is to check against the customer's credit limit.
So, if I were to add in the earlier mentioned overdue open items check, is it sufficient to just maintain the field "Days oldestItem" with "52" within the automatic credit control screen?
Thanks.
Steven

Hi
The sytstem will shows oldest open items depending on the payment terms from the invoice date.
Once it crosses the days of payment then it will show in oldest open items
if you want to extend some more days for that then you need to maintain the days in "Days oldestitem" the automatic credit control area
Prerequisites for credit management to work in Sales and Distribution:
1.Assign credit control area to company code
2.Maintain the credit limit in FD32 with details of risk category and the credit limit value
3.Do the settings in OVA8 -automatic credit control area with combination of Credit control area/Risk category /credit group.
4.Assign the credit groups to the sales and delivery document types.
5.Maintain the Subtotal 'A' in the pricing procedure against which value the sytem should check the credit limit.
If you have any further clarifications on above let me know
Regards
Damu
