Cus. author. credit ctrl level

Use this parameter to specify whether the credit control for customers must be performed by company or for all companies (folder level).

Folder - The credit control is performed by comparing the folder credit (all companies) and the authorized credit for the customer.

Company - The credit control performed by comparing the company credit and the authorized credit for the customer.

The credit control depends on the Risk BP associated with the customer.

This control is either based on the exchange rate history, or the updated rate, according to the value of the OSTCHGTYP - Rate origin WIP ctrl. parameter:

• When the credit control is set at the folder level, it is based on:
• The updated rate, and this regardless of the value of the OSTCHGTYP - Rate origin WIP ctrl. parameter.
• The currency defined in the CURSHRFLD - Common field currency (TC chapter, CUR group) parameter. You use the OSTTYPCUR - Rate type updated rate ctrl parameter to specify the rate type used at the folder level. The credit amounts stored in transaction currency are then converted into the folder currency based on the rate type selected for the current date.
• When the credit control is set at the company level:
• If it is based on updated rate, the control is performed in the company currency. You use the OSTTYPCUR - Rate type updated rate ctrl parameter to define the rate type to be used for each company. The credit amounts stored in transaction currency are then converted into the company currency based on the rate type selected for the current date.
• If it is based on the exchange rate history, the control is performed in the company currency, based on the credit amount in company currency gradually loaded by converting each movement based on its rate type and date.
