What Is Credit Exposure

What do you mean by credit exposure?

They are the transactions with a customer that are relevant for credit limits on a specified date.

The credit exposure is updated based on the update algorithm assigned to the credit control area. 

000012 - updated at Sales Order 
000015 - updated at Delivery 
000018 - updated at Billing 

To look at only Receivables for a customer look in FD32. If you have bad data run the reorganization program through SE38. 

Check Note 425523 - Collection of consulting notes: Credit update and related.

Surely you must run report RVKRED77 (Note 400311 - RVKRED77: Reorganization credit data, new documentation and related will help you).

1. How is credit exposure calculated (seen in FD32)?

It’s simple summation of Receivables + Special liabilities (like down payments, advance) + Sales value

2. If Update=000012 in CCAr then on creating Sales Order, the exposure increases by SO value.
But if update=000015, then also on creating Sales Order, the exposure increases by SO value.
Is this correct?

I think in case of 000015 Open sales order values should not be considered.

3. What role exposure play in the credit management process. I mean does the system match the value of credit exposure with credit limit to find that it is exceeded or it does it differently?

Credit exposure is in fact the main player. In credit management if the customer’s credit limit is 10000 and credit exposure is 9900 then customer can only be able to buy now worth of 100 only. It’s the credit exposure which should not crossed over the credit limit.

For reporting purpose, where we can get customer credit exposure which showing in FD32.

Go to t.code F.31 for an overview of the credit exposure, and also you can use s_ALR_8701212218 to overview the credit exposure.
