Customer Credit Limit = 0.00

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 215

Hi all,

I am having some issues to understand how the Credit Limit for customers functionality works.

My AR Parameters are set as follows:

My customer has the "Credit and collections" set as follows:

pastedimage1626091180250v2.png

My current customer balance is = 0.00.

  1. If I make a Retail Transaction for this customer, upon the statement posting, the transaction is successfully posted - meaning that the invoice and respective payment journal are posted. 
  2. I then try to post a SO that is transferred to D365 through an integration. By a performed customization, if I have a specific Payment Term selected, a customer payment journal will be automatically posted upon the invoice posting moment. The settlement between the invoice and the payment journal will also be automatically done. Thus, when I invoice that SO, 3 thing occur:
    1. Invoice is posted;
    2. Payment journal is posted;
    3. Both transactions (invoice + payment) are settled against each other;

However, with the current Credit Limit configurations that I have, in the scenario 2 I am unable to post the invoice since the following error message pops-up:

"Credit limit exceeded Open balance: 0.00 Current order: 33.00 New balance: 33.00 Credit limit: 0.00 Credit excess: 33.00"

My question is:

In both scenarios my customer has a Credit Limit set to 0. In both scenarios the invoice is automatically settled upon its posting. Why can I post the transaction is the scenario 1 but not in the scenario 2? How can I make this work? 

Thank you all in advance.

    Hi,

    In standard retail Posting system knows that against this invoice or this is a retail prepaid transaction so it will not get in to Credit exception.

    Either you try creating retail transactions through integration and post statement .

    Or, try marking transactions for settlement against the sales order before posting Invoice (SO > Invoice tab > Open transaction)-see if this works

    Question I have : Why you need to have Credit limit check for "Retail customer" ? You can disable this check for them and keep only for Non retail customers ? Because even if you enable credit limit check, you have already made a sales to your customer.

    Hi Alfonso,

    You can make this work by using the retail features. This posting mechanism is knowing if a payment is linked to the order. When you are using the sales order feature, it is not aware of a possible payment. You can try to reverse the posting. First the payment, then the invoice and then the settlement.
