General Information
A customer's credit limit is set on the
Bill To screen.
The
Bill To screen also allows you to place a customer on Credit Hold.
You cannot enter new sales orders for customers on credit hold. Bill To - Credit Limit Fields |
To get to the Bill To screen, open the
Organization screen, select the customer, and click the BILLTO attribute.
Default Credit Limit
The default credit limit amount for new customers can be set in the
CID Maintenance screen.
Credit Limit Calculation
A customer's credit limit is calculated by adding the current AR balance to the current Open Sales Order amount.
For example, a customer with a $10,000 credit limit will exceed that amount if you enter a sales order for $1000 and they already have a $9100 balance in AR.
Credit Limit Restrictions
By default, a new Sales Order with an Order Amount greater than $0 cannot be saved if the customer has exceeded their credit limit.
There is a security right (EXCEEDCREDITLIMIT) that will allow a user to exceed the credit limit and enter new orders for customers over their limit.
The
Do Not Exceed checkbox on the Bill To screen overrides the EXCEEDCREDITLIMIT security right. It will prevent anyone from entering a new sales order for a customer that is over their credit limit and has the
Do Not Exceed box checked.
Credit Hold Restrictions
The
Credit Hold checkbox prevents anyone from entering a new sales order for that customer, regardless of their credit limit and current AR balance.
