Definition

If, during a credit check, (during order entry and other SD transactions) you establish that the A/R summary data provided is either obsolete or there is none, setting this indicator enables the data you require for the credit check to be transferred to central Financial Accounting directly via Remote Function Call.

This indicator should only be used if there is a distributed scenario - in other words, if order processing and Financial Accounting do not run in the same system or in the same clients.

Example

Distributed Scenario

If you use a decentralized SD System, you should make sure the following settings:

  • Read A/R summary: Yes
  • Read A/R summary from external system: Yes or no
    • Yes: The system attempts to provide up-to-date data from the FI system using Remote Function Call (RFC). It does this if the A/R summary data either does not exist or is obsolete.
  • Set A/R summary: No

In the central FI system you should make the following settings:

  • A/R summary: Yes or No
    • Yes: Before current data (open items, dunning data and so on) is read from the database, the system reads the A/R summary data (if this exists and is not obsolete) so that the request is responded to considerably faster.
  • Read A/R summary from external system: No
  • Create A/R summary: Yes
    • During creation of the A/R summary data (program RFCMCRCV) you must specify the appropriate distribution parameters.

Non-distributed scenario

If you use the A/R summary info to optimize system performance only (and not to model a distributed scenario) you should make the following settings:

  • Read A/R summary: Yes
  • Read A/R summary from external system: No
  • Create A/R summary: Yes
    • When you create the A/R summary data (program RFCMCRCV) ensure you set the indicator No distribution.
