Once sales order is released for credit & stock quantities are added to plant stock, after releasing credit, Status of sales order is again not approved. Can it be setup as "Once order is released credit status SHOULD be approved."
Answer:
There could be two reasons for this to happen:
First - Quantity/price in the sale order might have increased after sale order is released from Credit block. So system will again set a block if the total value of the document is increased.
Second - after releasing the credit block, you might have kept open the sale order for few days. In OVA8 if the number of days field is blank, then system will again set a block.
If you are using Automatic Credit Control, you can set Released Document Strategy.
Please refer to the path as below:
SPRO => Basic Functions => Credit Management/Risk management => Credit management=> Define Automatic Credit Control .
Select your combination of Credit Control Area --> Risk Category --> Credit Group and Go to Details
Maintain "Number of Days". System will not allow you to use number of days zero.
This means once the document released and status of order is approved for credit, system reads the number of days maintained in the released document strategy. If number order release date plus number of days are more than or equal to date of stock updation, order will not go for credit check .
or
When a sales order is released, the system uses CONFIRMED quantity for calculating released credit value.
For instance, if no stock (or less than the order qty) was available at the time of sales order release and after that more stock becomes available for that order its credit value increases, causing a credit block.
You could assign total order qty to be used as a released quantity (user exits RMCS1US1 and RMCS1US3). This way when a sales order is released (and the order quantity remains the same), ATP confirmed qty changes will have no effect.
Please see OSS notes 100861 and 149559 for detailed instructions.
