Process Integration 

Use

SAP Credit Management supports the integration with financial accounting and sales and distribution systems:

●     Accounts Receivable Accounting (FI-AR) or Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA)

●     Sales and Distribution (SD)

These components provide SAP Credit Management with transaction data. They also use the credit-relevant check options. The integration with the components specified enables, for example, the following processes:

●     Credit exposure update

Update of the credit exposure of a business partner in SAP Credit Management. The financial accounting system connected provides the respective current commitment.

●     Update of payment behavior summary

The financial accounting system connected provides the relevant data for the payment behavior summaries for the business partners.

●     Credit checks in Sales and Distribution (SD)

When you create or change a purchase contract or create or change a delivery with an order reference, SAP Credit Management carries out credit checks according to the check rules defined.

For more information about the integration of Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA), see the documentation for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payableunder Integration with SAP Credit Management.
