Credit Limit Error message does not work

[Former Member]

Hi experts;

     I am FI consultant and I have been requested to activate the Credit Limit for our customers on SAP.

And as long as the issue is FI - SD I made its configuration following a very good thread on the forum which is  http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-28086

such blog guided me step by step and I made all the desired config. and master data as mentioned.

However the issue is:

At the time of test on QAS I found that I can do an invoice for the customer and when I exceed the credit limit the system gives me just WARNING message that I exceeded the credit limit however the configuration has been set for ERROR in order not to allow user posting any invoice for a customer exceeded the Credit Limit.

Kindly advice and guide me what could be the reason for that and how to solve it.

Thanks in advance;

Kind regards;

Hi Ahmed,

Hope you are using automatic credit control at order level.

Please paste the screenshot of the credit control settings  (OVA8).

Thanks Jobi for your concern and please accept my apologize due to of business with many else issues.

Actually what you have said I did exactly and the mistake was from my side, where I thought it will be working also with invoicing the customer from FI FB60.

But, later I realized that it must be from regular cycle from the SD starting with the Sales Order, and when I tied it normally I found that it is working correctly.

again thank you very much for your concern and help;

Best regards;
