General parameters > Chapter Common Data > Parameter OSTDRAFT (Customer credit notes P/R amt.) 

This parameter applies to the Credit level updatefield on General accounts. The results can be viewed in the BP situation, Risksection available from the Customer record.


Setup options:

Chart of accounts, Credit level update check box - Updates (or not) the BP accounting balance.

OSTDRAFT parameter - Updates (or not) the Total credit including the notes payable/receivable amounts from the Notes P/R management.


Management options:

The combination of the listed parameters is used to decide at what moment the company considers that a notes payable/receivable is no longer included in the customer risk (and thus the accounting balance and authorized credit level).

This could be summed up as follows: When do you consider that it is appropiate to deduct the Accounting balance and Total credit from the notes P/R value?

  • When posting the notes P/R?
  • When posting the notes P/R to the bank?
  • When closing the risk of notes P/R?

 

Example 1: The risk is defined until the notes payable/receivable (€1,000) are posted:

Notes P/R control account: Credit level update= No

OSTDRAFT parameter = No

This management method authorizes multiple combinations. An inconsistent setup would be to update both the accounting balance and the authorized credit limit (Authorized credit limit = Yes and OSTDRAFT parameter = Yes).
