Credit Limits in Divisions

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a scenario wherein I have Customer "X" existing in 3 divisions D1, D2, D3. How do I give different Credit limits for X in D1 Rs.100k, in D2 Rs. 50K and in D3 Rs. 75K.

I do not want to create 3 seperate master data for X.

Pls. suggest.

Hi

If all the divisions belong to same company code then it is not possible

If it is of different company codes then the option suggested bt Mr.Sivanand MIGHT work

See credit limit for a customer is defined for credit control area in FD32

In turn a company code will be assigned to only one credit control area

Credit limit for a customer applies for the products purchased by him in all divisions

Moreover in real time FI people have the bigger say in these Credit issues

Check with them

Hope it clarifies

Hi Ram,

As you said it right, all the divisions belong to same company code. Now how do I do it?

Hi there,

Try defining 3 different credit control areas C1, C2 & C3 for 3 different sales areas having D1, D2 & D3. Then you can assign different credit limits to the same customer. Assign the sales areas to credit control areas.

This is by standard SAP.

Hi Siva,

I am working on a Global client and his requirement is to have only one CCA. How do I meet his requirement?

Hi there,

If it is a centralised credit control then the above option is not possible. In centralised credit control all company codes are assigned to the same CCA.

If it is decentralised, then you can individual credit control areas CCAs. Then the option I suggested earlier is possible.

Else try maintaining different divisions D1, D2 & D3 in different company codes. Then centralised CCA will do your requirement.
