———————————————————————————————————————
Question 9 – Create another order for the same customer and Order type – Only this time, create the order with a value of around 90,000 (It does not need to be exactly 80,000). What is the System Response? Did the credit limit warning come up?
Answer: Created another order 14015 without getting any system warning message, that means simple credit check is not checking any open and unbilled order value, it’s check only current order value against credit limit value.
Question 10. What is the credit exposure for the Customer now?
Answer: Credit exposure- 120,000 Euro
———————————————————————————————————————

Answer: “Simple credit check” checks only order completed and billed + current order value, it’s not checking any open order value without billing.
Ex-1st Order value 30,000 Euro so it’s less than 100000 Euro credit limit so order created.
Ex- 2nd Order Value 90,000 Euro, still less than 100000 Euro credit limit so again order saved.
———————————————————————————————————————
Question 13 This time create another order for the same customer and Order type – Only this time, create the order with a value of around 1,20,000 ( It does not need to be exactly 1,20,000 ). What is the System Response? Did the credit limit warning come up?
Answer: This time system response with warning message “The credit limit has been exceeded by 20000 Euro” but order saved – “14016”
—————————————————————————————————————————-
Question 14. Explain in your own words difference between the system responses for Q.9 vs Q.13?
Answer: In 2nd order value which is less than credit limit and there is no outstanding complete order invoice so system response no warning message while in 3rd order value is more than credit limit so system response with warning message “The credit limit has been exceeded by 20000 Euro
———————————————————————————————————————

Siva
Can you please check the order 14029 and tell me why am I getting the message ” The accounting document has not yet been created” on the billing?
Thanks.
The customer 51 used in the order 14029 does NOT have the corresponding Company Code view defined. If you do not define the company code view in the customer master, the associated reconciliation account will be missing. Hence, the invoice could not be posted. The way I found it out is as follows.
I opened the invoice in change mode ( VF02 ) and tried to post the invoice to accounts by clicking on the “Green Flag” as shown in the class. The error message that I got was
Screenshot is Copyright© of SAP® AG. All rights reserved.
Then I checked out if the customer master had Company code data and it did NOT have.
Siva,
I have created Customer 80
There are two orders 14018 and 14019 are created
Del 80016493, 80016494
After deliveries I am getting errors while doing PGI or trying to create Billing.
Please clarify whats wrong.
Thanks

Question 12. Explain why the credit limit is not exceeded for Q.9 above even though the order value in Q.6 and Q.9 together exceeded the Credit Limit set by you in Q.3 ?
Answer: Because in Simple Credit Management: credit Exposure: = Current order value+ open item
In Order1 and order 2 We created order for EUR 30000 and 90000 respectively but we didnt delivered it or billed it and not posted to account. so order 1 and order 2 has been gone through without warning. If we have billed order 1 and also posted to account then we would not able to create order 2.
This is a kind of flaw in simple credit management

Simple credit limit only checks the credit limit when the combined value of open items and the current order is above the credit limit. Here there is no open items as no delivery and no invoice was generate and sent to A/C hence the credit limit was never checked.

Question 14. Explain in your own words difference between the system response for Q.9 vs Q.13 ?
Answer: In both of the scenarios there were no open items available so the system only considered value of the current order, in Q13 Value of the current order was under the credit limit so the system didn’t show any warning but in question 13 value of the current order was exceeding the credit limit so system had issued warning message.

Answer:
I have assigned risk category to the customer from transaction fd32 and created
Order 13345 with value 30065 and saved the order. Customer’s credit limit is 30% used.
I tried to create another order 13346 with value 80,000 but this time I got static credit check credit limit exceeding message, the order is blocked for delivery. This scenario is different than Q 9, because now system is using automatic static check and considering open orders as well when checking customer’s credit limit.

Question 33. Specify the Credit Exposure for this customer and explain in your own words why it is so ?
System exposure is only 30,065 and the value of previous two orders is not included in it because dynamic credit check is enabled and the horizon is set to 2 months.

I think you have created a new Customer Account Group. Everytime a new customer account group is created, the partner functions that should be associated with this customer account group should be done in SAP Partner Determination
Question 1. Create a new Customer ( of SAP Customer Account Group – 001 ) in the sales area of your choice. Specify the SAP Customer Number.
I created customer 19106 – Sales area 1000/10/00
Question 2. Find out the SAP Credit Control Area that is associated with the Customer’s Organizational Structure.
Customer is assigned to credit control area 1000. I validated this by checking both the assignment of the sales area to the CCA, and I also checked the assignment of the company code to the CCA.
IMG -> Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Financial Accounting -> Assign Company Code to Credit Control Area.
IMG -> Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Sales & Distribution -> Assign Sales Area to Credit Control Area.
Question 3. Assign a Credit limit of 1,00,000 to the customer created in Q.1 above.
I set the customers credit limit to 100,000.00 EUR using FD32 for customer 19106/credit control area 1000.
Question 4. Create a new SAP Sales Document Type ( as a copy of standard order type OR if possible ) and give the document type -Z019.
I used VOV8 to create ZLC3 (a copy of ZLC2 – zero lead time days and suggest po date to help with schedule generation for same day orders).
Question 5. Set the Credit Management to the document type you created in Q.4 to Simple Credit Check. What are the different options available in Simple Credit Check ?
I set the credit check on ZLC3 to option “A” (simple credit check with warning message).
The other credit options are:
B. Run simple credit check – error message.
C. Run simple credit check – Delivery block
Also for automatic credit check
D. Credit management – automatic credit control.
Question 6. Create a Sales Order for the Document type ( Created in Q.4 ) and the Customer ( Created in Q.1 ) for a material ( say M-01 ) for a value of 30,000. Specify the SAP Order Number.
Order# 14138
Used VA11 (create quotation to price item M-01 and determine the number pieces to attain the 30,000.00 EUR order value = 34 pieces (30,666.30 net + 5,826.60 tax). Note: Looks like a 3% cash discount (1,094.79 EUR) will be awarded in paid within terms.
Question 7. What is the Credit Exposure for the Customer ?
Using FD32 to display the customer credit management overview – for customer 19106, credit control area 1000 the total credit exposure is 36,492.90 (net + tax).
Question 8. What percentage of the credit limit is used ?
36.49% of his available credit is used (100,000.00 credit limit).
Question 9. Create another order for the same customer and Order type – Only this time, create the order with a value of around 90,000 ( It does not need to be exactly 80,000 ). What is the System Response ? Did the credit limit warning come up ?
89 pieces – $80,273.55 net + $15,251.97 tax
No Warning appeared – In simple credit checks only the current order that you are trying to save + the open items (billed but unpaid invoices) are considered. The customer has no billings yet, so only the current order value was checked against the total credit limit. The first order was not considered.
Question 10. What is the credit exposure for the Customer now ?
The credit exposure is $132,018.42
Question 11. What percentage of the credit limit is used now ?
132.02% used (over limit).
Question 12. Explain why the credit limit is not exceeded for Q.9 above even though the order value in Q.6 and Q.9 together exceeded the Credit Limit set by you in Q.3 ?
In simple credit checks only the current order that you are trying to save + the open items (billed but unpaid invoices) are considered. The customer has no billings yet, so only the current order value was checked against the total credit limit. The first order was not considered.
Question 13. This time create another order for the same customer and Order type – Only this time, create the order with a value of around 1,20,000 ( It does not need to be exactly 1,20,000 ). What is the System Response ? Did the credit limit warning come up ?
Created an order for customer 19106 – M-01 133 pieces $119,959.35 + $22,792.28 tax
The system displayed a warning that the credit limit had been exceeded by $19,959.35 EUR (it did not seem to include the tax in the warning???).
Question 14. Explain in your own words difference between the system response for Q.9 vs Q.13 ?
In simple credit checks only the current order that you are trying to save + the open items (billed but unpaid invoices) are considered. The customer has no billings yet, so only the current order value was checked against the total credit limit. The first order was not considered (Q9), and the first and second order were not considered (Q13). However, the net amount of the third order was larger that the customers credit limit.
Question 15. Delivery and Bill the Order you have created in Q.6. Make sure the Accounts are being posted to.
Order – 14138
Delivery – 80016443
Transfer order 5152
Invoice – 90038203
Accounting document 1400000076
Question 16. Check the total receivables for the Customer. What is the value ?
Total receivables are $34,492.90 (the value of order# 14138)
Question 17. After performing Q.15 above, what is the new effective Credit limit for the Customer ?
The credit limit used percentage jumped to 274.77%. The receivables are $34,492.90, Sales value $238,277.15 (total of the net value for all the orders including the 2 open orders), credit exposure $274,770.05. Based on how simple credit would evaluate orders at generation, delivery, or PGI (considering only the current order and the unpaid invoices), then the effective credit would be $100,000.00 – $34,492.90.
This is rather interesting. The actually credit checks that could potentially stop the shipment of merchandise that would take the customer over the credit limit is acting exactly like the description of “simple” credit. However, in the system as shown in FD32 accumulates open orders against the credit limit like static or dynamic.
Is there configuration that will align the credit checks (whatever credit check method is decided on) with FD32 so that the percentage of credit reflects the risk as perceived now?
I am not so much thinking of simple credit. I am thinking more about alignment of FD32 with either static or dynamic.
Addendum 1 :
The following is advanced SAP Credit Management Exercises that talks about Automatic Credit Management. This exercise should only be done after completing the SAP Simple Credit Management Exercises listed above.
Hint : If you get confused in the middle, always start with a new customer, set a credit limit to a fixed value say 100,000 and start the transactions from scratch. This eases the pain of understanding SAP Credit Management configuration a bit.
Question 18. Repeat Q.1 through Q.4 specified in and specify the answers.
Customer 19107 created (copy of 19106).
Credit control area is 1000 (based on the sales area and the company)
I assigned a credit limit of $100,000.00 – Note: The customer was originally defaulted to $500,000.00 and risk category RSK – Likely the result the assignment of a risk category assignment to the credit control group – I will validate.
I used VOV8 to create ZLC4 (a copy of ZLC2) order document.
Question 19. Create a new SAP Credit Group Zx and assign it to the new SAP Sales Document Type configuration you have created in Q.18
SPRO/S&D/basic functions/credit mgt-risk mgt/credit mgt/define credit groups
I created ZL (a copy of 01 credit group for sales order).
I assigned credit group ZL to sales order document ZLC4 using VOV8.
Question 20. This time set the Credit Management settings to Automatic.
Question 21. Create a new Risk Category ( How to create a new Risk Category in SAP ? ) say Zxx and assign it to the Credit Control area you have chosen in Q.18 above.
I created new credit risk group ZLC. I copied 001 it was already assigned to credit control area 1000.
Path: SPRO/fin. acct./acct. rcv/credit mgt/credit control acct/define risk categories
Question 22. What are the 3 parameters used to determine Automatic Credit Control in SAP ?
Credit control area/risk category/credit group.
Question 23. Specify the Automatic Credit Management settings to “Static” and specify the system reaction to Warning in case the limit exceeds. What configuration have you done to effect this ?
Path: IMG -> Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Credit Management/Risk management -> Credit Management -> Define Automatic Credit Control.
An automatic credit control entry was added for Larry test 1 low risk (credit ctl area 1000, risk category ZLC, and document credit group ZL). It set the check type to static, the reaction to “A” (warning), check open orders yes, check open deliveries yes.
I set the ZLC4 sales order document to “D” automatic credit control and assigned the document credit group ZL to it.
Question 24. Set the scenario in Q.23 to block the order in case of credit overage.
Using maintain automatic credit control I set on the credit block flag on for CCA 1000/Risk group ZLC/credit group ZL. Because credit group ZL is only assigned to order document type ZLC4 this should only sets on the block for the specific orders I will test with order type ZLC4.
Path: IMG -> Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Credit Management/Risk management -> Credit Management -> Define Automatic Credit Control.
Question 25. Create the following Sales Orders with the Customer and Order type you have crated in Q.18
-> Order 1 – 30,000 Value – order 15004
-> Order 2 – 80,000 Value – order 15006
What is the system reaction to the second order ? How is this different from SAP credit Management Reaction in Q.9 above ?
I assigned the customer to risk category ZLC (FD32) and created a third order (15017). The system let me enter the order. However, when I saved the order a message was displayed saying the static credit limit had been exceeded.
I then went back in and displayed the order status. The status of the order was “being processed”. The credit status was “not approved”. The overall block status was “blocked”.
This differed from the simple credit test in that this time it considered the previously entered open orders (credit exposure – see FD32).
Question 26. Release the order from credit block for Order # 2 in Q.25 above. ( How to release an SAP Sales Order from Credit Block )
I used VKM3 to list and then release order 15017.

Question 12. Explain why the credit limit is not exceeded for Q.9 above even though the order value in Q.6 and Q.9 together exceeded the Credit Limit set by you in Q.3 ?
Solution: : As credit limit is checked against open items + current order value, open orders were ignored creating a loop hole
Credit used = $0 (Open Items) + Current Order(90k) Credit used= Total Open Items + Value of Current order, this value is compared against the credit limit.
As, in both the cases value of the open items are 0, so credit limit is compared against the value of the current order. Thus, as long as current order is less than the total credit limit, order will be processed.
In case 1, value of the current order Order processed
In case 2, value of the current order > credit limit => Order not processed
Question 15. Delivery and Bill the Order you have created in Q.6. Make sure the Accounts are being posted to.
Solution: I am able to create the delivery document, but not able to make it through billing.
Its warning me that “Dynamic Credit check has been exceeded” while creating the delivery document, but was able to create the delivery document. But, not letting me to issue Post Goods Issue. System saying “Dynamic Credit Check has been exceeded”.
I wonder why dynamic credit check coming into the picture when simple credit check has been assigned to the sales order. I guess its coming from the deliver document type.
Workaround: To make it through billing, I tried to change open orders of the customer to make it less than the credit limit, but still I had the same issue processing the documents.
Then, I tried to delete the sales orders but could not do it as I already had subsequent deliver documents for all of those
Now, I have to create new customer 9009, assign him the credit limit of 100,000, create a new sales order and process it. Succeeded this time.

QUESTION
: I am trying to bill this order 135132 But get a message in the log
‘Item Category TAN cannot be invoiced with billing
type F2.’
Cannot go forward here. Tried looking through the copy controls [based on notes etc] Itm Cate ‘TAN’ is not listed in Sales doc to bill doc copy controls. If this is the issue how can I fix it. I have already billed this order though. Please help.
Also, did this happen because of any errors in my steps above.
Mrunal
Can you please let me know how you are invoicing the order ?
If you are using Sales Document -> Billing for a Physical Deliverable Item ( Which is the case in Order # 135132 ), then you are doing it wrong.
You need to go to VF01 and enter the delivery number associated with that Order # And use it to create the Invoice as shown below. Please let me know if you want me to do it for you
Siva,
woukd you please give some hints/idea how to change data at this stage. Never done anything before. Meanwhile I tried creating another customer with new sold-to-party 0001 -ES. I thought I created sucessfully another customer # 1512. But when I tried to create S.O.# for Doc type ZO19 I got this msg: ” Company was not supplied in Function module interface” I am ready to pull my hair even before your addendum 2.
but seriously what do need to do. Am I picking wrong sold- to- party account?
This error is a FICO Cost Center error. I am not sure why this is happening ( We would have to consult a FICO consultant ) . I have created a customer for you 1021. Try it with that.
Thanks Siva. I think my problem was that I used customer account groups which generated internal customer number and then caused me to get stuck on Partner Function. Using external number saves lot of extra headace. Anyway Thanks again.
Siva,
In doing this exercise, created customer master 500006 for company code 1000 and S. org 1000/10/00. When tried creating S.O. got an error msg ” no customer master record exist for sold-to-party 500006. Please help.

Question 12. Explain why the credit limit is not exceeded for Q.9 above even though the order value in Q.6 and Q.9 together exceeded the Credit Limit set by you in Q.3 ?
The individual order has to be exceeded 100000.
But when you check the FD32 option for the credit limit ,there is a message that says the credit control area needs reset ,and when you reset the message comes that the customer 2100 has exceeded the given credit limit
__________________________________________________________________
Question 13. This time create another order for the same customer and Order type – Only this time, create the order with a value of around 1,20,000 ( It does not need to be exactly 1,20,000 ). What is the System Response ? Did the credit limit warning come up ?
yes the warning comes up .The credit limit has been exceeded by 100,000
__________________________________________________________________
Question 14. Explain in your own words difference between the system response for Q.9 vs Q.13 ?
In question 9 the individual sales order did not exceed the credit limit ,but in question 13 the individual sales order exceeds the limit ,which means that in simple credit check the open items and individual value of the sales order are considered and the above scenario the system only checks the individual sales order value .
(siva do correct it ….)

6. SO# 14112
7. 10.106,00
8. 10.11%
9. No it does not give any message for new order 14120 but when I extend this order it shows
10. message, percentage used ,
11. credit exposure are same
12. Because whatever SO this customer generated they are still open items
13. yes it blocked the delivery credit limit used “137.606%” Credit Exposure is 137606
14. Well the difference is that Credit limit check limit on single order it keeps accepting anything less than Credit Limit defined for customer. But if in single order limit increases it gives message and blocks delivery

warning message
Question 15. Delivery and Bill the Order you have created in Q.6. Make sure the Accounts are being posted to.
- got an error message: Item 000010: delivery split because of different shipping point
SIVA – how do we resolve this
URGENT ATTENTION NEEDED
while doing Q.4 in the credit limit exercise, I was asked to create a
new document of type OR. I had already created 2 documnets of type OR
(ZORN and ZORT). Instead of creating another new document, I decided
to delete ZORN and recreate the same. After saving my changes, I am
not able to find the document type OR.
Could you please help with this?
Sorry for the inconvenience

Arjun
The sales Order # 14061 has been created in Company Code 1000. The associated CCA is 1000. I have seen FD32 for CCA 1000 and it is not set. So, although the credit exposure for the order is 11,811.. , the credit management did not kick in.
http://www.magnatraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/sap-credit-management-did-not-kick-in.png
Step No. 3, 4 and 5 are important to make that happen.
I did not see Step No.3 set. Also, Step No. 4 is correct, but Step No. 5 is set to automatic credit control ( As opposed to Simple Credit check which the scenario asks for ).
http://www.magnatraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/zord-set-to-automatic-credit-control.png
If you really intended to do automatic credit control, you would also have to do a bunch of other steps like setting up Risk Category and Risk Group etc.

Questions 18-23
Cust # 59, automatic credit check configuration (CCAR 1000, RC 657, CG z1)
I was able to create 2 sales orders it gave me a warning message when I did the second order (13551) but did not block it. I am not sure why.
30) #13347, 9/21/2011
31) #13348, 10/21/2011
32) #13349
33) The credit exposure is only 40%. THe reason is we are doing a dynamic horizon credit check and have selected 2 months as the horizon in the automatic credit configuration and so the system is using 100000 limit for a 2 month period. When I went back to FD32 it showed horizon as 7/23/2011 since I had order worth of $40,000 for that period it showed a exposure of only 40%
Shiva please disregard my question above. When I went to VKM1 it listed that order (13551) as a blocked order. So I guess it did go through.

Sir,
Static Credit management is not working. Please see the configuration once.
Created customer 59993 for company code 0001 and sales area 1000 10 00 and assigned credit limit of 100,000
Created sales document type Z070
I have configured static credit management setting using transaction OVA8 but when i am trying to create sales order credit management is not working, system is allowing me to create order even if the credit limit is crossed without any warning.
Please see to it.
Vikas,
Please do NOT create any master data in company code 0001. This is a test system and does not have any negative effects, but as a matter of practice, this might spill over to live SAP systems as well.
Now coming to the question, you have created a customer 59993 , and sales doc type Z070 ( assigned it to credit group Z9 ) and made Z070 with Automatic Credit Control ‘D’ .
You have also configured the Dynamic Credit control correctly
!000 + 001 + Z9 has been set to Static Credit Check. Perfect
Configuration wise you are all set.
I see that you have created 2 orders for the customer ( Using VA05 )
16196
16195
and they have exceeded the credit limit by quite a margin.
Now, even though the Open Orders and Open Deliveries have exceeded the credit limit by quite a bit, you still don’t see the Credit Check error.
This is happening because of one small config issue. The checkboxes ( Open Orders and Open Deliveries ) have not been checked on for the combination of the SAP Credit Control area + Risk Category + Credit Group in question.
Please try it and let me know if it works.

Sir,
Its still not working.
Created another customer 59994 for company code 1000 and sales area 1000 10 00 and assigned credit limit of 100,000
using sales document type Z070 assigned credit group Z6 to it..configured static credit management setting using transaction OVA8 but when i am trying to create sales order credit management is not working, system is allowing me to create order even if the credit limit is crossed without any warning.
Please see to it.
There is no risk category assigned to the Customer 59994 ?
Check out FD32 for that customer in CC Area 1000
I have assigned a Risk category of 001 in FD32 and its working now. Check out the SAP Sales order i have created in the system – 16206

Q.15 is a little tricky. The invoice is not being able to be posted to accounts because of issues with Account Determination.
This could happen because of a variety of reasons including Account determination issues on our side or on condition Type COPA parameters on SAP FICO side.
In this case the answer is an issue with SAP Account Determination. You can view this by opening the invoice ( VF02 ) and clicking on Environment -> Acct. Determination Analysis -> Revenue Accounts. The particular SAP Billing document in question 90036957 had VKOA issues. Please fix it first before posting to accounts.
