Multiple outstanding receivables or bad debts can have a considerable impact on company’s performance.
Using Credit Control , you can minimize your credit risk by defining a credit limit for your customers.
In SAP , Credit and risk management takes place in the credit control area. If your credit management is centralized, you can define one credit control area for all of your company codes.
