SAP Note 744305 - Credit lock and requirements/direct procurement

Summary :
This SAP Note clarifies the effects of a credit lock on the transfer of requirements and direct procurement in sales orders. When a credit lock is applied, the schedule line confirmation is reset, halting subsequent processes like delivery. Despite the lock, the system continues to generate requirements transmitted to MRP for procurement actions. This behavior is intended to maintain schedule adherence assuming eventual credit release. Additionally, direct procurement processes (third-party and assembly orders) halt the creation or delete existing procurement elements once a credit lock is set, blocking production until the lock is lifted.

Key words :
indicator 'fixed date & qty', request schedule line passes, credit locked sales order, terms vbuk-cmgst, automatic credit control, -party order processing, assembly processing reason, sales order prevents, individual purchase order, credit lock affects
