Dear colleagues:
I have a couple of questions in regards to credit management; as the terminology that SAP is uses sometimes is not too clear.
When setting automatic credit control
1) Deviation % - if the order changes in value within the % established here, then it won't go through credit check again. Does this apply only if the value of the order goes up?
2) When talking about the order value....is it referring only to the value of the confirmed qty? Or the value of the ordered qty?
3) If an order is placed let's say 20 days before it needs to be delivered; is it possible to "stop" the credit check process until 1 day before the delivery needs to be created?
Thank you!

Hi Marta,
Please find the answers to your questions below.
1) Deviation % - if the order changes in value within the % established here, then it won't go through credit check again. Does this apply only if the value of the order goes up?
Ans : In general, credit check happens only when the value of an order goes up(after it has been released from a credit block). This % deviation also applies only when the order values goes up.
2) When talking about the order value....is it referring only to the value of the confirmed qty? Or the value of the ordered qty?
Ans : Order value refers to the value of the ordered quantity and not the confirmed quantity
3) If an order is placed let's say 20 days before it needs to be delivered; is it possible to "stop" the credit check process until 1 day before the delivery needs to be created?
Ans : If you have a requirement of such nature, you can very well go for a credit check at delivery level or PGI level which is very much available in standard.
Hope the above helps.
Regards
Vasanth

Thank you very much for your answer:
In relation to my 2nd question above: in the help text for the field STAFO - Update group; at the very end, it has this note. If you look at the last sentence; it does seem to be that it is the confirmed qty. What do you think?
Note
If a document cannot be processed with the update group you specify, the
system determines the next possible update it can carry out. For
example, you select Update group 000012 which, at delivery, reduces the
open order value and increases the open delivery value. Assume that one
item in the order is not relevant for delivery. In this case, the system
automatically determines Update group 000018 for this item. Update group
000018 increases the open delivery value for the order item. The system
uses the confirmed quantity of delivery-relevant schedule lines to
update the order value.
Regarding my 3rd question; we have 1 order type that is used by all the countries; so I cannot change this; it would impact everybody; do you think it would be possible to do this through the routine in "Document Controlling" section for "No Credit Check"? This way it could specific to the credit control area?
Thanks again!
