Risk Categories in OVA8 - New Customers

Question

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

Answer 1

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
