Transferring Commitments 

Use

This function enables you to forward changes to open items from Accounts Receivable Accounting to SAP Credit Management. In particular, this applies when these items arise and are cleared.

In SAP Credit Management, the open items contribute to the credit exposure of a business partner. In turn, the utilization of the credit limit by the credit exposure is one of the check criteria for a credit check.

Integration

For each change to an open item the system creates a worklist in Accounts Receivable Accounting. This function for transferring commitments processes this worklist.

The credit exposure of a business partner appears in the master record per credit segment. There you can navigate to the relevant commitments.

Activities

To transfer the commitments, from the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Accounting ® Financial Supply Chain Management ® Credit Management ® Integration of Credit Management with FI-AR ® Asynchronous Credit Exposure Update.

You can perform this function manually or schedule it for periodic processing in the background.
