Summary :
When attempting to designate an alternative payer at the item level within SAP, users encounter error VP 237, indicating a mismatch with the credit limit customer in the header. This issue occurs because SAP's credit management system mandates a singular credit account per sales order, assessed at the document level, not per item. Exceptions apply if the item-level payer's credit account matches the header-level account. The system design does not permit deviations; users are recommended to create separate orders for items requiring alternative payers.
Key words :
credit limit customer differs, credit limit customer, credit control area, automatic credit control, open credit values, error message vp 237, item partner reason, alternative item payer, credit management, credit account
