Credit Ratings (tcmcs0164s000)

Use this session to maintain credit-rating details.

The credit check only checks whether the open order balance exceeds the customer's credit limit.

If the Action is Always Hold (Credit) or Always Hold (Overdue Invoice), LN always blocks the sales order entry, the release of the sales order to Warehousing, or the shipment, without checking the business partner's credit limit. The corresponding check boxes are disabled.

You can only select the Credit Check phases if the action is Check Credit.

Central Direct Delivery Credit Checking

If this check box is selected, LN performs the credit check for the invoice-to business partner of the original sales order. The credit check takes place when you confirm the shipment in Warehousing .

In a direct delivery setup, you can use this option to perform the credit check for the customer to whom the goods are eventually delivered, instead of performing the credit check for the various affiliated companies that can be involved in a direct delivery order.

Review Credit Rating after

The review period (in days) for a credit rating. The result of the credit check is valid during the number of days specified here. After that you must carry out a credit review again.

Note: You must enter the date and time when you carried out a credit review for a business partner in the Invoice-to Business Partner (tccom4112s000) session.

As a result of an overdue credit review, LN can place a business partner's orders on hold. This depends on the selections of the relevant parameters in the Sales Order Parameters (tdsls0100s400) session.

Include Open Order Balance in Financial Risk Calculation

If this check box is selected, LN includes the open sales-orders balance for the business partner when it calculates the actual financial risk.

The actual financial risk is used when performing credit checking. If the actual financial risk is greater than the invoice-to business partner's credit limit, you can place the order on hold (depending on a number of parameters).
