Limit
This is an amount limit that is assigned to a contract on a time-dependent basis.
For more information, see the documentation for the contract element Limits
in transaction SE61
with the key BCA_CN_LIMIT_DESCR
(document class: General Texts
).
Limits are general amount limits for contracts and are used for business-related purposes, depending on the limit category.
The limit category also determines the responses triggered by the system when an amount limit is reached or exceeded.
You can deactivate the limit check in the account. The system assumes that the limit amounts in the contract always remain the same.
Standard limit categories are predefined by SAP. You can also define customer limit categories in Customizing for Account Management
and Master Contract Management
under 
Product Management

.
Exactly one product category is assigned to each limit category.
You can exclude limit categories during product configuration. The limit categories used can be flagged as mandatory.
Structure
Each limit consists of a limit amount and a limit currency. The latter must be the same as the contract currency.
Integration
The system connects contracts and amounts for a particular time period. It interprets this connection using an object ID (for limits BCLM
) and a function (=limit category) as a limit.
Example
The amount with amount GUID BCC9A3145351484494980B80A0428B10
is assigned to the contract with internal contract ID F458013A3425544289E17FD2E50394E5
in the time period from the contract start date to the technical maximum date (12/31/9999) with the function BCA110
(daily ATM limit).
This means that in this case a daily limit of EUR 250 is assigned to an EC card for ATM withdrawals.
