Basic Configuration setting for Credit
Management
Hi friends ,
 
 Here i am trying to explain the configuration steps for credit management and this article is for people who
wants the basic and step by step configuration for credit management
 
In sap there is two different types of credit controls those are 1) Static 2) Dynamic
 
In Static check there is no Horizon period, and in dynamic you have horizon period.
 
Horizon period is the duration of the time. If you maintain horizon period as 2 months, then all the open
documents that are with in this period are taken for credit check, documents beyond that are not for
consideration. in static system will consider the all open document till now.
 
Configuration settings:
 
1) Define Risk Category:
SPRO -- > Financial Accounting -- > Account Receivable and Accounts Payable -- > Credit Management -- >
Credit Control Account -- > Define Risk Categories
Go to “NEW ENTRIES” and create the Risk Category with the combination of Credit Control Area.
Save the record.
 
2) Define Credit Control Area:
It is the responsible organizational element which takes care of all the credit management activities in a
company code.

SPRO --> Enterprise Structure -- > Definition -- > Financial Accounting -- > Define Credit Control Area.
Go to “NEW ENTRIES” and create the Credit Control Area.
Note: if you maintain risk category and credit limit in "default data for automatically creating new customers" , it
will automatically apply for new creating customers in future.
 
3) Assign Company Code to Credit Control Area:

Control Area.
Select the Company Code and assign the Credit Control Area to the Company Code.

4) Define Credit Groups:
The credit group specifies which subsequent transaction can be blocked for processing, if the credit limits are
exceeded.

Management -- > Define Credit Groups.
You can use the default credit groups or create new once.
