Documentation

Definition

The creditworthiness of a business partner provides information about the customer's payment behavior.

The creditworthiness value consists of a manual and an automatic part. The automatic part is determined by multiplying the creditworthiness numbers of the creditworthiness- relevant processes (for example, dunning and returns) with the time- dependent credit weighting and then adding up the results.

The following formula is used to determine the creditworthiness:

Creditworthiness = automatic creditworthiness value x Percentage creditworthiness factor + Manual creditworthiness.

Notes

You can update the current creditworthiness value. In this case, the fixed creditworthiness overwrites the automatic part.

Use

Creditworthiness is used in the areas Returns, Correspondence, and Dunning. Therefore, for example, you can raise creditworthiness-specific charges for a business partner or carry out creditworthiness-specific dunning activities.

Example

The best creditworthiness value is 0. It indicates that the business partner has a good payment behavior and has, for example, not received any dunning notices in the last months. The worse the payment behavior of the business partner, the higher the creditworthiness value.
