Credit Management - Reference Date question

Former Member

Hello Experts,

I have a question about the Reference Date in the FD32 - (Status - Internal Data - Reference Date field). Is there a credit control impact that can be attained utilizing this field. I see that this field is not available in OVA8.

Please explain.

Thank you,

Nathan

I guess if you do F1 help on this field. This explanation comes up and its pretty good.

"

The reference date is used to specify a date for the customer on which the credit amount granted to him/her is to be rechecked.

If this date is reached or exceeded, it does not, however, lead to a corresponding message within the automatic credit check as in the Next check field.

The reference date is not used by SAP for credit reviews and can therefore be used as needed to initiate an internal resubmission procedure.

This date is also displayed in the Credit overview and in the Credit master sheet so that it can be used for selection or sorting purposes."

Its kind of similar to next review date on which the credit limit is to be reviewed.I guess the  only impact on credit control is a warning message appears.

Thanks for the quick reply Shaun. I had in fact seen that F1 help. But wanted to see if anyone have actual experience with it, to see what message it generates, if there is a block and how (which function) to recheck the credit limit that will reinstate the account from any block or to avoid the message.

Ya, we are not making use of this field but you might want to test it in your test environment.It may not produce any block but a reminder to review the credit limit.
