Limit 

Definition

This is an amount limit that is assigned to a contract on a time-dependent basis.

For more information, refer to the documentation for the Limits contract element in transaction SE61 with the key BCA_CN_LIMIT_DESCR (document class: General Texts).

Use

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.

Standard limit categories are predefined by SAP.

Exactly one product category is assigned to each limit category.

Limit categories can be excluded in the context of product configuration. The limit categories used can be flagged as required.

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).

In plain language this means that in this case a daily limit of € 250.00 is assigned to an EC card for ATM withdrawals.
