Credit facility is just like telling our customers that they need not pay immediately, they can pay at a future point of time after receiving the goods or services. But, this payment at a future point of time involves risk. So, according to the risk foreseen, the amount and time of credit (Credit Exposure) granted changes. For some customers, the risk perceived may be high such that we may demand payment in advance. This credit management comes partially under preview of Sales and Distribution (SD) and partially of Account Receivables (AR). Key challenge: Reducing credit risk without hampering the supply chain. Dealing with Bad Debt: Before getting involved, ask yourself: How do I react to a bad debt? Do I block orders from important customers, or do I grab a phone? What is the volume of blocked orders my F&A department can handle? Can I afford to block customers (small customer base)? What do I save? What is the cost in terms of damage? Credit Management in SAP Assuming that we already have SD and AR implemented, credit management can be broadly used to: Assign credit limit to customers Facilities like the credit master sheet or early warning list help you monitor the customer’s credit situation Automatic credit limit checks as well as to specify the points at which they have to be carried out Automatically alert the credit representative of a customer’s critical credit situation as soon as order processing starts and he may be able to check a customer’s credit situation quickly and reliably, and, in line with the appropriate credit policy, to decide whether the customer should be granted credit. Credit Check Every customer is having a certain credit limit, which is measured and maintained by Finance people. Credit check is done for each and every order/SD documents generated. Credit check is performed at the following stages of Sales order cycle, Credit check settings present in each SD document is responsible for interacting with FI module.

Organizational Unit in Credit Management The organizational unit used in credit management is Credit Control Area It represents the area wherecustomer credit limits are specified and monitoredDepending on the relationship between credit control area and company code the credit management can becategorized as

Decentralized credit managementEvery company code has its own credit control area Hence we can define credit limits for acustomer separately for each company code This method delivers benefits such as the localpayment cultures can be respected each company code has the independence to make its owndecisions

Centralized credit managementMultiple company codes are clubbed under the same credit control area So if the customertransacts with company codes which are under the same credit control area the limit is set for allthe company codes combined together

If the currencies of these company codes are different from that of the credit control area the receivables areconverted to the credit control area currency to check with the credit limit set Centralized credit managementhas benefits such as easier analysis of credit policy and modifications required the focus is shifted to otherimportant areas such as bad debt reductions and improved customer relations as there is only a central creditteam that needs to be consulted irrespective of the geography etc

Good work--i appreciate being an FI guy your presentation including SD is very nice Sorry to tell you that there a mistake in your document while sharing about dynamic credit checkabout Horizon periodas per you--5) Horizon Period Eg 3 MonthsHere the System will not consider the Open items 1 2 3 amp 4 values for beyond 3 months

No--- here-actually system will divides this 1234 as two parts---234 will be fixed called as staticpart and the the first option 1 will be called as dynamic part(open sales orders)(234 will be taken in credit calculations if lying beyond 3 months)the only difference is whether open sales order(with confirmed delivery schedule lines)--has to beconsidered in credit calculations or not(if lies in these 3 months--then this open sales order valuewill be added in credit calculations--otherwise no)

See F1 at dynamic credit check in OVA8--you will get more clarity

Please change this flaw in your presentation--once after confirming Phanikumar

Hello Thanks for the document very usefull during an Audit review with a client i came accross with thenext question Reviewing this process with a client I verified that when the Customer excided the credit limitassigned in SAP the system automatically blocked the purchase requisition In order to release itthe Credit the Clerk needed the Management authorization and this was done manually and outsideSAP Once she had the authorization sheet signed the clerk manually released the PRI wonder if it is possible to configure a SAP work flow in order to release credit block as when thecontrol is manually performed it could be easily override Thanks in advanceRegards

Good work--i appreciate being an FI guy your presentation including SD is very nice Sorry to tell you that there a mistake in your document while sharing about dynamic credit checkabout Horizon periodas per you--5) Horizon Period Eg 3 MonthsHere the System will not consider the Open items 1 2 3 amp 4 values for beyond 3 months

No--- here-actually system will divides this 1234 as two parts---234 will be fixed called as staticpart and the the first option 1 will be called as dynamic part(open sales orders)(234 will be taken in credit calculations if lying beyond 3 months)the only difference is whether open sales order(with confirmed delivery schedule lines)--has to beconsidered in credit calculations or not(if lies in these 3 months--then this open sales order valuewill be added in credit calculations--otherwise no)

See F1 at dynamic credit check in OVA8--you will get more clarity

Please change this flaw in your presentation--once after confirming Phanikumar

Hello Thanks for the document very usefull during an Audit review with a client i came accross with thenext question Reviewing this process with a client I verified that when the Customer excided the credit limitassigned in SAP the system automatically blocked the purchase requisition In order to release itthe Credit the Clerk needed the Management authorization and this was done manually and outsideSAP Once she had the authorization sheet signed the clerk manually released the PRI wonder if it is possible to configure a SAP work flow in order to release credit block as when thecontrol is manually performed it could be easily override Thanks in advanceRegards

open AR00018 ndash This is relevant for non-delivery-relevant orders only When a new order is created the open deliveryvalue is added to the credit exposure When the order is billed the open delivery value is subtracted and theopen billing added to the exposure When billing posts to accounting the open billing value is subtracted andthe open AR value added to the exposure The exposure is finally reduced when the cash is applied againstopen AR

Note SAP recommends the use of update group 000012

Organizational Unit in Credit Management The organizational unit used in credit management is Credit Control Area It represents the area wherecustomer credit limits are specified and monitoredDepending on the relationship between credit control area and company code the credit management can becategorized as

Decentralized credit managementEvery company code has its own credit control area Hence we can define credit limits for acustomer separately for each company code This method delivers benefits such as the localpayment cultures can be respected each company code has the independence to make its owndecisions

Centralized credit managementMultiple company codes are clubbed under the same credit control area So if the customertransacts with company codes which are under the same credit control area the limit is set for allthe company codes combined together

If the currencies of these company codes are different from that of the credit control area the receivables areconverted to the credit control area currency to check with the credit limit set Centralized credit managementhas benefits such as easier analysis of credit policy and modifications required the focus is shifted to otherimportant areas such as bad debt reductions and improved customer relations as there is only a central creditteam that needs to be consulted irrespective of the geography etc

Good work--i appreciate being an FI guy your presentation including SD is very nice Sorry to tell you that there a mistake in your document while sharing about dynamic credit checkabout Horizon periodas per you--5) Horizon Period Eg 3 MonthsHere the System will not consider the Open items 1 2 3 amp 4 values for beyond 3 months

No--- here-actually system will divides this 1234 as two parts---234 will be fixed called as staticpart and the the first option 1 will be called as dynamic part(open sales orders)(234 will be taken in credit calculations if lying beyond 3 months)the only difference is whether open sales order(with confirmed delivery schedule lines)--has to beconsidered in credit calculations or not(if lies in these 3 months--then this open sales order valuewill be added in credit calculations--otherwise no)
