Enter the following data:

Limits:
Valid from	Default setting: Today’s date
Valid to	Default setting: 12/31/9999
Limit - Check/Do not check	This field prompts the system to check the limit in reporting or in the single transaction check against the existing utilizations. If the field is set to Check, a red traffic light is displayed in reporting if the limit is exceeded. If it is set to Do not check, then in reporting and in the single transaction check no red traffic light is displayed for exceeded limits.
Limit currency	You can enter a default currency in the field Limit currency in the Customizing for the limit type. If no such setting was made in Customizing, the default value is the currency of the company code. You can change the currency subsequently. The system converts the currency of all transactions attributed to this credit line to the limit currency.
Internal limit amount	The internal limit amount is always greater that the external limit amount or critical limit usage.
External limit amount	The external limit amount is always less than the internal limit amount. It triggers a warning (yellow traffic light) once a certain amount has been exceeded. The setting, defining whether the early warning is triggered by an external limit amount or a percentage of the internal limit amount, is made in Customizing.
Critical limit utilization in %	This triggers a warning (yellow traffic light) once a particular percentage of the internal limit amount has been exceeded. The setting, defining whether the early warning is triggered by an external limit amount or a percentage of the internal limit amount, is made in Customizing.
Maximum risk commitment period in months	The maximum risk commitment period specifies with which risk commitment period a transaction may still be attributed to the limit.

Note

When entering limits, make use of the input help: T for thousand and M for million.
