Documentation

Definition

The credit control area is an organizational entity which grants and monitors a credit limit for customers. A credit control area can include one or more company codes.

You can also enter the credit control area separately for each posting, if this was marked in the appropriate company code.

When entering an order, the credit control area can also be determined from the business area and the sales area segement of the payer's master record or using a user exit.

It follows that company codes and credit control areas are not linked.

The only thing that you define in the company code table is the default credit control area. This is used either for payments on account to credit these payments, or where you did not enter a credit control area or the system could not determine one.

There is also an allocation table of permitted credit control areas per company code which is used to check entries only.
