1. 1. P age |1 Credit Management/Risk Management With the help of credit management

the business keeps a check over all those customers to whom credit has been granted so
as to recover the amount from them which they owe to the business. There are two types
of Credit checks which can be configured into SAP and that are: 1) Simple credit limit
check &, 2) Automatic credit limit check Under Automatic credit limit check there are
another two types and that are: a) Static credit limit check &, b) Dynamic credit limit
check. Static credit check is actually the credit check comprising of all the open sales
orders, open sales deliveries, open billing items and all the rest of open items Where as
dynamic credit check is the sum of all the factors present inside the static credit check
plus the time horizon While configuring the credit management settings in SAP, we
configure the following under financial a/cing: i) Define Credit groups ii) Define Risk
categories iii) Define Credit representative groups iv) Define Credit representatives
Formerly we define and assign a credit control area to our enterprise structure Credit
control area can be centralized or a decentralized. For one centralized credit control area,
there will be only one credit control area operating under the company code but for the
decentralized credit control area there will be many credit control areas under one
company code. So exactly the relation between company code and credit control area is
many to many Under the risk categories the customers are divided in to: a) High risk
category ҉ ۩ = ∑Ω₤∞∆Create PDF files without this message by purchasing novaPDF

2. 2. P age |2 b) Medium risk category &, c) Low risk category And accordingly the credit
representative groups are defined with respect to the no. of risk categories and thereby the
representatives too with their contact details After this there are the required settings
which needs to be done for our sales and distribution under it’s tab i.e. to enter the
settings like: Specify the subtotal as A (KONV-CMPRE) to gross value or the net value
per item to take the base amount of credit exposure of a line item. The output type for the
credit management is KRML and under the partner determination the credit
representative (KB) and the credit manager (KM) are the partners. The condition records
for credit management are maintained under the trx. Code VV11. In the condition records
credit management has got the provision to send an express mail, a carbon copy or a
blind mail to the recipient being specified under the recipient column. Moreover has got
the transmission options as ‘Do not send before’ and ‘After sending move to outbox’ and
finally ‘No forwarding’, with each having their own individual influences on the type of
communication with the recipient of the dunning notice or any other issue pertaining with
credit management. The active receivables of sales document line item for credit related
management functions can be configured with the respective settings Under receivables
risk management the payment guarantee forms, schemes are defined and assigned along
with it’s determination. Configuration for simple credit management is very simple and
we need to assign the related match code against the required document type for e.g. A, B
or C against document type OR. Credit check can be carried out at three important levels:
1) Sales order level 2) Delivery document level 3) PGI level The customer credit master
is maintained under FD32, where we come across with the following tabs for : Overview,
Address, Central data, Individual limit, Status &, payment history. ҉ ۩ = ∑Ω₤∞∆Create

3. 3. P age |3 Release the sales document at VKM4: All the sales document, VKM3: Sales
document &, VKM5: Delivery documents Which are been blocked due to credit check.
Automatic credit check is carried out at all of the above three levels of sales transaction
where we need to define the credit group, assign the sales documents and delivery
documents, credit limit check for delivery types and ultimately needs to define the
automatic credit control under OVA8. -------------------------------------------------------------
---- Incompleteness Procedure: Here the functionality deals with the below mentioned
fields only to maintain values in the certain fields that are valid to process subsequent
documents. Define Status group for General, Delivery, Billing document, Price, Goods
movement, Picking/Putaway, Pack. Text Determination Procedure With the help of this
functionality business can issue the sales notes, credit notes or packing information to the
customer that can be printed. Text can be determined for certain text objects e.g.
customers, material, conditions, customer material info record conditions, sales, delivery,
billing, header & items & sales activities. Text determination works upon the condition
technique i.e. the condition tables Access SequenceCondition type Procedure. Only
PRICA does not utilizes the condition technique concept i.e. the Partner determination
procedure, Route determination procedure, Incompleteness procedure or log, Credit
management and the Availability check functionality. Define and assign text
determination procedure settings are the first available settings under the Customer Sales
and distribution in the selection screen of the text determination procedure. Moreover the
rest of the configuration settings needs to be made under the Sales header and text types. ҉

4. 4. P age |4 We have to first of all: 1) Define a Text ID, 2) Then needs to define a text
determination Procedure 3) Assign the text Id to that text determination Procedure 4)
Assign the text determination procedure to customer a/c groups. Text ID  Text
Determination Procedure Customer A/c Group Under the sales document header
functionality we will repeat all the above steps along with one very important step of
defining the access sequence and there by assigning it to the text ID so the flow here is as
below: Access Sequence Text ID Text Determination Procedure Sales document
header. OUTPUT DETERMINATION PROCEDURE The transactional data from sales,
deliveries, billing document is transferred from SAP system to the non SAP system by
using various transmission media. Output determination procedure defines what kind of
output type, through which transmission media and to which partner function. We
maintain the output condition records under the trx. code VV11. If the output has to be
printed immediately then the device name would be LP01. --------------------------------
The Item proposal functionality as well as the assortment module under the value
contract, both acts as an order entry tool. The trx. code for contracts is VA41, where as
for Scheduling agreements it is VA31. We have to maintain a separate pricing procedure
(WK0001) & pricing procedure determination with the condition type WK00 for Value
contract. There will be billing in both consignment issue and consignment return but
there will be no billing under consignment fill up and consignment pick up. There are no
schedule lines for contracts, hence delivery document cannot be created with reference to
contracts. To create delivery document with reference to contract; sales order ҉ ۩ =

5. 5. P age |5 is going to be created as a “release order” & with reference to which delivery
document is going to be created. Another document “WA” can also be used as a release
order for value contract. In Service and maintenance contract along with rental contract,
there is no delivery. The process flow is VA41 VF01. ҉ ۩ = ∑Ω₤∞∆Create PDF files
