Hi, Hidyath.

I am not sure if I understood your problem. But I will try to explain the concept - please check if this will help you to solve as you wish, ok?

The credit limits data has two levels:

1) general data (affects all control areas) and

2) credit control area data (affects only a specific area) - you have 3 of them.

You can use FD32 to maintain both at the same time ot by different steps. It is a little confuse.

Lets try to have this in two steps.

Hidyath, try first: call FD32 with only customer code, any CCA code and mark only overview, address and central data.

Note: even with a CCA code in this stage, you wIll NOT have acess to set any limit for this CCA, once you have not marked any box for CCA (two last below in the screen).

Step 1

Once you have reached the 3nd screen  you will access Central Data limits: you have two fields for limits:

           - Total ammount: means the total limit for a customer, does not matter from with CCA's they buyed from.

Example 1: you may decide to set US 100.000 here and (after) US 20.000, US 30,000 and US 50.000 in each CCA. In this case the total amount will be a total sum.

Example 2: you may decide to set US 100.000 here and (after) US 100.000 for each CCA. In this case, you have each area with US 100.000. But when your customer reach first 100.000, from one CCA or from any combination of CCA's - it will not allowed to sell anything for him. Note: a customer can buy all his limit from your first division, but not more than 100.000 in total.

             - Individual limit: this (yet in central data) is a limit you can set here to avoid an wrong limit for individual areas (just to avoid typing error).

Example 1: if I would use example 1 above, I would set here an individual limit of US 50000, once  I would not have any individual CCA with an amount higher than that.

Example b: for the example 2 above, I would set here an individual limit of US 100.000, once I would like to have this amount in each of my CCA's.

               Save and get of the screen.

Step 2:

After settng the limits for central data, you will have to call FD32 3 times now: one for each individual CCA:

Each time you will have customer code, a CCA code and you will mark the two last check box of the inicial screen: status and payment history.

If you marked all check box, on your 4th screen you will access the limit for this area only. See on the top of the screen your customer code AND your CCA code.

Here you have only one field for credit limit amount:

- in the example 1 above, it will be US 20.000, US 30.000 or US 50.000 (depends on CCA)

- in the example 2 above: it will be US 100.000 (for all 3 CCAs)

Wich amount you set here WILL DEPEND exclusively and always limited on the amount you have set in the field individual limit for you customer at the beginning in the Central Data limits,

Hope it will help you.

Best regards,

Nilton Duque.

Hi Hidyath

"Total Amount" field is the Sum total of all Cr Control Areas.

"Individual Limit" is the Credit you can maintain for a Given Cr. Control Area

As long as your division is mapped to CFL1, it is good enough. You must de-assign CFLL if you dont want to maintain Cr Limits in it

Hi Ajay sir, Thanks a lot for your reply we have main credit control area is CFLL for all divisions . now client is updating different credit control area as per division we have maintain 3 CCA  CFLl division is 10 problem is when we are updating in FD32  for CFL1 system is throwing error as total limit is already maintain limit we have maintain in CFLL not in CFL1 this confusing us

Hi experts Please help

[ajaycwa1981]

You will have to increase the TOTAL AMOUNT / INDIVIDUAL LIMIT first, before you can maintain Credit under any other CCA

Total Credit allowed as of now is 20000 (1)

Credit Maintained in Common CCA is 20000 (2)

If you now try to maintain 20000 under new CCA, it clashes with (1)

So, increase (1) to 40000 and then maintain Cr Limit with New CCA
