create credit data for a new customer

[Former Member]

Hi,

i want to create credit date for a new created customer. I know one way is to use the idoc. Is there another way to do this? The is no need for the first time to communicate with FI. I just want to create a credit vector for the new customer where a field is set with an amount.

thx,

Hi. Ming,

U want to maintain the credit limit for a new customer.

u can do it by maintaining the credit limit amount in the Credit Control Area.

after maintaining the credit amount it will applicable all the new customer u will create after that.

Means first maintain the credit limit & then create customer.. The credit limit for all the new customer will be the same what u maintained earlier.

if u upload the new customer credit data without using the t.code FD32 then u can do it through the T.code - LSMW.

In LSMW also 4 methods are there.

u chose the batch input recording method in which u have to record the FD32 t.code.

u have to create a .txt file.

also u have to create a source structure.

at the time of recording target structure was created.

then u have to map source & target structure.

There are 14 steps u have to complete .

U can take a ABAPER'S help for this.

Hope it will help u to solve ur problem.

regards

are you sure? i can't find the program LSMW.

I tried it as transaction and got the Legacy System Migration Workbench.

Yes that is the program LSMW (Legacy System Migration Workbench). You have to take the help of any technical person if you are not sure about it.You have to do the recording for Credit Master and then prepare the template for the same.

Yes i mean this. But i want to do it via a function modul or something else if possible. The customer is created by BAPI and after this the credit limit of this customer should be set automatically af ther the runn of the BAPI.

Hi,

You can try the LSMW program to update the Customer Credit Master.

Hi,

I really dont know if i understand your question correctly. Do you mean to say that Credit Limit for the new customer. Then that can be set up in FD32 with the customer number and the comapny code related to that customer.
