The result of each check is stored in the document and is used to calculate the overall status. The subsequent functions are the same for all the checks, namely credit limits, payment cards, export credit insurance, and documentary payments.

Using the credit status, you can block the following functions during order processing:

• Creating material reservations
• Creating purchase requisitions
• Creating production orders/planned orders
• Creating delivery due indices
• Printing order confirmations
• Creating deliveries

• Picking
• Packing
• Posting goods issue
• Printing delivery notes

For particularly important or urgent credit problems, you can use output control to specify that electronic mail messages are automatically sent to the appropriate credit representative.
