Documentation

Definition

A business partner's creditworthiness provides information about the payment history.

The creditworthiness value consis of a manual and an automatic part. The automatic value is determined by multiplying the credit number of the credit relevant processes (such as dunnings and returns) with the credit weighting) and adding up the results.

Creditworthiness is determined using the following formula:

Creditworthiness = automatic creditworthiness value x percentage credit factor + manual creditworthiness

Note

The current creditworthiness value can be fixed. In this case the fixed creditworthiness overrides the automatic part.

Use

Creditworthiness is used for returns, correspondence and dunning. In this way charges can be made or dunning activities carried out for a business aprtner that are based on creditworthiness.

Procedure

Examples

The best creditworthiness value is 0. This means that the business partner has a good payment history and has, for example, not been sent a dunning notice in the last few months. The worse the payment history of a business partner is, the higher is the creditworthiness value.

Use

Together with other fields, the creditworthiness fields forms the activity key by which the system determines the returns processing activities for a given return reason. These activities are defined in Customizing.

Note:

The system always interprets the activities key in favor of the relevant business partner or contract account.
