   Definition of the risk category for each credit control area. This risk category can be
   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

    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.

What are the different types of credit checks?
By Sunilmadho
Credit Check can be :
1) Simple Credit Check
2) Automatic Credit Control
Automatic Credit Control can be at various levels :
1) Order
2) Delivery
3) Goods Issue
Automatic Credit Check is of many types :
1) Static
2) Dynamic
3) MaximumDocument Value
4) Maximum Open Items in percentage
5) Oldest Open Item in number of days
6) Crtitical fields change
7) Highest dunning level, etc.
You can create more.
Credit Check happens only in SD module, never in FI. Because the stage of the check is in the sales cycle, which exists in SD. FI guys will check the credit master sheets of the customer, the MIS, the analysis etc, review the credit limits of customers. But the check will happen only in SD, while creating order, delivery or doing the goods issue.
All business have their own credit management needs, SAP allows you to specify your own automatic credit checks based on a variety of criteria.  You can also specify at which critical points in the sales and distribution cycle the system carries out these checks.
