The SAP Note 886236 refers to u2013 Distributed credit management in SD
The note states the following
u201CDuring the credit check in the SD system, the data of the A/R summary is now used. If you also have credit data for the used payer in the SD system, this is ignored. The data of the A/R summary from the FI system has priority over the credit data in the SD system.
If you have credit data for a payer for whom there is no A/R summary in the SD system, this master data is also not used if the distributed credit management is active in the SD system.u201D
I have found that the system behaviour contradicts to the solution specified in the note
Here is what I have found in the system behaviour:
1. If the AR summary exists for a payer in a credit control area, the system ignors the credit data in the SD system.
2. If the AR summary data does not exist for the same payer in a different credit control area, the system considers the credit master data of the SD system for credit check. u2013 This behaviour is contradictory to the note.
The note states that it is release-independent. But the behaviour of the system is contraditory to the note. Please advice if anyone has encountered this issue and whether SAP supports this behaviour. I have raised an OSS and will update SAPu2019s reply on SDN, any additional thoughts /inputs would be highly appreciated.
