Order Life Cycle Credit Check Points

Order life cycles credit check points allow credit to be checked at selected times throughout the life cycle of an order for a company and location.  Credit check points are established and maintained on Reference File category D38 by company and location.  A customer's credit status can be checked at any combination of order entry, blanket/backorder release, automatic order release, and shipping and billing times.

Considerations

During credit checking, if errors occur at times other than order entry (for example:  automatic order release and backorder processing) the system generates warning messages.  Note that these orders are also placed on hold.

The order life cycle credit check points feature allows users to maintain different credit checking requirements for different companies and locations to conform with different criteria set by management.
