Credit check

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are on 4.7v of SAP. We hav configured multiple order types, like standard order, export order, drop ship order etc..but has one delivery type LF used for all the order types.

We have a requirement where in for Export orders system need to perform credit check at delivery level (at the time of creating T.O) instead of order level.

Reason: We want to hold the stock for export order at delivery level, so that when the credit check is released, distribution can pick and ship the product within the promised date. Currently, we promise a date to the customer, by the time customer wires the money, inventory is taken by some other orders. We do not have a separate storage locationfor export orders.

We have defined different risk category for export orders.

How do i configure the system so that credit check is done at delivery level (Stopping delivery from picking) for export order only.

Thank you for your help in advance,

Thank you Hegal and Ankur for the response. In the config we use different credit group for order and delivery. All i did is to remove credit limit check at the order type level and added a new automatic credit control for the delivery credit group. Now the system does not perform credit check at the order level, instead carries out credit limit check at the time of creting T.O.

This is exactly the functionality i was looking for.

Thanks again,

Hi,

Hope you might be using different Sales document types for different transaction (ex: Std Order/Export Order ...Etc)

Assign a different credit group (Credit check @ Delivery Leve)for the export order type.

Maintain 2 entries for 2 credit groups (for std order and export oder) in the automatic credit control settings for the combination of Credit control Area/Risk category/Credit group.

Hope this will help.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

It would be better if you have the Credit Check at Order Level else with a Common Delivery Type , Credit Check will be affected on all the Scenarios linked with that Delivery Type.

In such case , you can create Order as like Consignment Fill-up where the Stock would be your Asset but can not billed to some other Customer . So when you get the Payment from the Customer , create Export Order wrt to the Proforma Invoice of Consignment Fill-up.

Kindly check if this suggestion will help you.

Best Regards,

Dear Naga,

Ideally, your requirement is not possible as you have the same delivery for all the scenarios.

One way is to make a seperate delivery type for export and assign the credit group.

Else you have to sit with your ABAPer and a way to bypass the credit check in delivery level, if the preceding sales order type is not export sales order type.

Please check and revert.

Thanks & Regards,
