2.Payments (specialy advance payments)
3.Credit & debit note passed through FI (tcode FB70)
4.Validation to ensuer that Invoice/Debit note of one credit control area shall not be knocked off through payment/credit note of different control area.

FI-AR-CR Customer Sales per Credit Control Area

Hi,
Do you know any table or funtion that may calculate the Customer Sales Volume per Credit Control Area? I need to calculate a customer specfic DSO (Day Sales Outstanding) figure. The standard AR Summary doesn't return such information. This nay be obtained via BSEG, but it requires a complex query.
I have found the function module CUSTOMER_BALANCE, but it returns customer sales per company code, which still requires additional calculation to totalize the balances for all the company codes that belong to a credit control area which the customer is assigned to.
I appreciate any input that may provide a simplier solution for this question.
Thanks and regards.

Hi,
I have decided to use the function module CUSTOMER_DSO_CALCULATION, and I will try get the sales volume from some internal variable that this FM uses to calculate the standard DSO. Then I'll store it on a Z table in order to compute the new specific DSO
Thanks and regards,

Release of customer after Automatic Credit Control

Hi friends,
I have configured Automatic Credit control during Sales Order entry. In OVA8 I have set the Dynamic Checks, Document Value and Oldest Opne Item with value of 30 days. Based on the outstanding the Sales Order creation is blocked with a message 'Credit check oldest open items overdue (Cannot be saved). Does this create a block against the customer at any place? In case unde special circumstances an order is to be created against the Customer how do i create an order for this customer.
Checked via FD32, there is no block for the customer
Please suggest.

Uday

Hi Basavaraj,
Thanks for the reply. I think i have not expressed my requirement correctly. Let me explain it like this :
Today 09.06.2008 when I am trying to create a sales order for a customer, since there are document outstanding for more than 30 days the system correctly gives the message 'Credit check : Oldest open items overdue (cannot be saved). Since in OVA8 for Oldest item I have used the reaction as Error, rightly I am not able to save the order.
But if i come across an exceptional case wherein the management decides to allow transaction to be carried out for this customer, how do i go about it?
Since the order is not saved, cant use vkm4.

Uday

Well you can group these customers under one credit control area Tcode OB45 , and you can define your individual customer under this credit control area.
& in OB38 assign company code to this credit control area.

Credit Control per Sales Division

Hi SAP Guru's,
How can I set up a Credit Control System based on Sales Divisions?
For example: A company has two divisions: X and Y. Customer John purchases from both these divisions. Now how can I set up the Credit management policies per division such that if the outstanding arrears of John > USD $ 50,000 in Division X then his sales order is blocked but he is still allowed to purchase from Division Y. Johns Division Y Credit limit is USD $ 100,000
Thanks,
Ketan

Hi Ketan,
Try the following.
1) Create two different sales areas since you would be having two different divisions, also create two different credit control areas.Say your first Sales Area is 1000 10 10 and the second Sales Area is 1000 10 20, and your credit control area is K088 and KO89.
2) Assign the Sales Area 1000 10 10, to K088 and Assign 1000 10 20, TO K089, under the assignment Assign Sales Area to Credit Control Area
3) Next create a customer No 2000 for the sales area 1000 10 10 by using T Code XD01(Customer Master Creation).Now in the billing tab page of the sales area data,see that the field credit control area is activated. Assign K088 in the credit control area.
4) Create the same customer 2000 for different sales area which would be 1000 10 20, the system will allow you since the sales area differs. Now assign the credit control area K089 in the billing tab page for this sales area
5) Go to FD32 and your input would be the customer and the credit control area hence create this by giving Customer 2000 and K088 and assign the credit limit for K088 credit control area.
6) Again go to FD32 input the same customer only this time give the credit control area as K089 and assign the credit limit for K089.
Check if this works

Automatic credit control

We use in our company automatic credit control. For one of our customers not credit control data have been maintened (fd32) therefore there is no credit group assigned to him.
When I try to make a sales order for this customer, the automatic credit control is turned on and I am unable to save the order since the next review data has passed (it is a check field in the automatic credit control for all customers that have credit control data).
Any opinions?

Hi,
If the customer concerned is not relevant for credit check,please remove the risk catigory under status screen in FD32

Change Credit Control Area in SO

Dear expert,
After setting "Assign sales area to credit control area" done, how can I change/overwrite default Credit Control Area during creating Sales Order ?
Many Thanks,
Blue Sky

Thanks Reazuddin MD for your response
The actual requirement is we currently use one single customer master (Sold to Party). User wants to post sales transactions with different subgroup of customer (such as Regular, Member, Credit etc). And this info must be derived to FI module (Billing transaction) in any object form because FI User want to see line items with different customer subgroup.
Currently, we try to apply customer subgroup with field "Customer Group" in SD; however, this field will not derive to FI module. So, my initial idea is to use "credit control area" mapping with "Customer Group" (1:1) for example,
Customer Code: 10001
Customer Group (SD)     >     Credit Control Area (SD>FI)
01 (Credit)                                 0001 (Credit) --> Default Value in Sale Area
02 (Regular)                              0002 (Regular)
03 (Member)                              0003 (Member)
When user create SO with "Customer Group" = 02, the system has to change Credit Control Area from default sales area (0001) to 0002 by either manually change or user exit.
Or are there any alternatives to take care this requirement.
Thanks for your useful advice

Credit Controll area

Dear all,
I am using one credit control area for two company codes.
is it right?
if my customer is belong to both company code, i want to give credit limit different as per cmpany code then is it possible?
if i assign credit limit to customer then is it applicable for both company code & consider as a total credit of both company code.
Also is it consider all the values of order, billing from both company code while consider as credit limit.
Plz send me the details regarding the same.
Thx & Regards,
PM

Hello,
There can be one or more company codes under one credit control area, but it is not possible to assign a company code to more than one credit control area.
Within a credit control area, the credit limits must be specified in the same currency.
The credit limits assigned to customers in one company code are limited only to that particular company code.
Normally customers are created independent of the company code i.e. each company code will have their own customer master records.
But if you have the same customer in both company codes...........you can either create a customer master with same customer number with both company codes or with different customer numbers in the customer master record.
If you have the same customer number in both company codes..........then the system will not allow you to have seperate credit limits as the system takes into account the customer number and credit control area while fixing the credit limit (FD31) .
on the other hand if the customer numbers are different, then you have the flexibility to issue different credit limits in different company codes.
so any orders raised in that particular company code will only take the credit limit of the customer from the corresponding company code.

Customers extended to more than one Credit Control Area ?

Hello ,
Please advice ,SAP Customers (payers ) can be extended to more than one Credit Control Area ?
Yes or No ?
Pros & Cons ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vikas

Hi Vikas,
You can map one customer to two different credit control areas:
However you need to understand the following points:
1.Delinking of company code to existing credit area (FI)
2.Allow at compnay code more than one control and allow overwriting also(FI)
3.Allow the existing risk categories to work in new control Area (FI)
4.Change layout of customer master (if credit control area is not activated in sales area-Billing Tab)
5.Creation of Validations in FI that No entry to customer ledger shall pass without assignment to control area.
The Process of having multiple control area under one compnay code though not advisable however if business requires this you need to configure.
Pros:
1. Single customer code
2.Credit control division wise
3.AR can be taken division wise
Cons:
1.Master data maintenance would increse
2.user need to put credit area in all transactions specially-Credit & debot Notes (FB70) and advance payments.
If You require any other help pls revert.

Credit management automatic credit control use of credit group

Hello gurus
1)In the credit management we have credit groups( which enables us to combine different sales
document types for the purposes of credit management).
In the simple credit check also we will assign the doc types to check the credit. Then please tell me why we need credit groups in automatic credit control? Here also we can assign the doc types to check the credit ?then what exactly is the use of credit group ?
2)where will we specify the total credit amount allowed of the credit control area?
3)In the automatic credit control (ova8) against to static check box option we have open orders and open delivers checkboxes. is this two boxes only specific to static or it also belongs to dyanic?
Is it necessary to check this boxes?
4)is any one have used any of the routines in automatic credit control( document controlling tab we have no credit check field here we specify the routine? If any business need please share with me
Thank you in advance for all the replies

Hi
For your 1st query , In credit mgmt we assign credit grps to sales document type. So as you said we will assign credit grps at simple credit check and coming to the Automatic credit check we assign credit grp for the sales document type also .But the difference is credit grp can be at order level or Delivery Level or PGI level in OVA8 in Automatic credit check .
Coming to your 2nd Query , we will specify the total credit limit in FD32.
For your 3rd query , In OVA8 apart from the static check we check the boxes open orders and open deliveries also because once you activate Automatic credit check and once you maintain credit limit for any customer then system will check the open orders and open deliveries also of that customer
Coming to your last query the routine feild can be used when some requirements have to be fulfilled then only automatic credit check should work for customers. or else the sales order ->delivery->PGI will happen normally

SharePoint 2013 RSS Viewer not loading when other Custom web part using Update Panel or Ajax Timer control

Hi,
SharePoint 2013 RSS
Viewer web part failing to complete loading when the page loads.
This happens when having RSS Viewer and then adding a Custom webpart with an updatepanel and timer control.
I had used Ajax update panel and timer control to load the web part asynchronously after the main page is fully loaded.
The RSS-Viewer web part hangs in loading state while the custom webpart loads just fine.
The issue occurs when an like button click or Timer Tick event fires after the page
is loaded.
Haven't been able to track the issue.
Couple of workaround I tried to call a server side button click event from the custom web part after the page gets fully loaded using JQuery shown below did not work out either.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#<%= netButton2.ClientID %>').click();
And
document.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (document.readyState == "complete") {
$('#<%= netButton2.ClientID %>').click();
Please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Franklin
