Credit Management
Credit Management Allows You To
Reduce your credit risk by alerting you or restricting shipments to customers who are on credit hold or over their credit limits
Set up default credit term codes for processing customer payments and debit/credit invoices
Calculate default due dates, discount dates, and discounts for goods and services
Why Consider?
Credit is checked while you begin entering a sales order and again when you reach the trailer
If the customer is over their credit limit or the current order puts them over their credit limit, the system automatically put the order on hold
It also affects the decision whether to confirm the order
Setup Implications
Sales Order Accounting Control needs to be set to determine whether the order is automatically placed on hold when doing the Sales Order Maintenance function
Note: In QAD Enterprise Edition, financial control settings are updated separately from operational settings to support detailed segregation of duties assigned with role-based security. In QAD Standard Edition, all control settings are updated in Sales Order Control.
