What is Credit Management?
Credit management is a crucial process that helps companies effectively assess the risk of financial losses associated with their customers and business partners. By integrating information across various departments within the company and utilizing external credit agencies, credit management enables businesses to make informed decisions about their receivables. SAP Credit Management, for instance, offers a comprehensive solution that allows companies to centralize their credit management processes, even in complex distributed systems.
This system seamlessly connects different business systems such as Sales and Distribution, Logistics Execution, and Financial Accounting, enabling them to report the financial commitment of a business partner to SAP Credit Management. Moreover, the interface is not limited to internal systems alone but also establishes connections with external credit information providers. These providers supply detailed reports that are consolidated within the credit management solution's automatic decision mechanism.
Upon receiving these reports, the system evaluates the data and may trigger an automatic recalculation of the customer or partner's credit limit based on predefined rules. This ensures that the credit limit remains up-to-date and appropriate for the specific situation. In addition to credit limit checks, the company can perform other assessments, including analyzing the oldest open item, considering the maximum dunning level, and reviewing the most recent payment made by the customer or partner.
By leveraging these capabilities, businesses can effectively manage their credit risks, streamline their credit management processes, and make well-informed decisions regarding their receivables.
