Index

Use this parameter to specify whether the credit control for suppliers must be performed by company or for all companies (folder level). On order entry, a warning message informs you that the credit level is exceeded or a blocking message prohibits the creation of the order if the supplier has blocked orders.

Folder - The credit control is performed by comparing the folder credit for this supplier and the credit authorized by the supplier.

Company - The credit control is performed by comparing the company credit for this supplier and the credit authorized by the supplier.

The credit amount is calculated as follows:

• When the credit control is set at the folder level, it is based on:

• The updated rate, and this regardless of the value of the OSTCHGTYP - Rate origin WIP ctrl. parameter.
• The currency defined in the CURSHRFLD - Common field currency (TC chapter, CUR group) parameter. The OSTTYPCUR - Rate type updated rate ctrl parameter is used to define the folder level rate type to be used. The credit amounts stored in transaction currency are then converted into the folder currency based on the rate type selected for the current date.

• When the credit control is performed by Company:

• If it is based on the updated rate, the control is performed using the company currency. The OSTTYPCUR - Rate type updated rate ctrl parameter is used to define the rate type to be used for each company. The credit amounts stored in transaction currency are then converted to the company currency based on the rate type selected for the current date.
• If the credit control is based on the exchange rate history, it is performed in the company currency, based on the credit amount in company currency and gradually loaded by converting each movement based on its rate type and date.
