Title
Early Warning List Purpose
You use the early warning list to display and print out those customersin credit management who are to be seen as critical within the creditchecks in SD. In this context, a critical customer is one who, as aresult of data you have defined in Customizing for credit management(under Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions) in theactivity Define Automatic Credit Control
would not pass the following individual checks (carried out usinginformation from the A/R summary) either at this moment, or in the nearfuture:
Credit check against oldest open items
Credit check against overdue open items
Credit check against maximum dunning level allowed
Credit check against customer's next review date
Credit check against age of A/R summary
Credit limit used
The sixth check determines the proportion of the total receivables,credit limit-relevant special general ledger transactions, and salesvalues that have reached the credit limit. The sales value is the totalof all sales order values, values of goods to be delivered, and billingdocument values which have not yet been transferred to FinancialAccounting. If you also specify a credit horizon, only those salesvalues which fall within that horizon are included.Prerequisites
You have created an A/R summary for the selected customers usingprogram RFCMCRCV. The system will only carry out individual checksusing the automatic credit control data if you have also activated therelevant check as part of the credit check in SD. (See alsoDefine Automatic Credit Control).Features
Selection
You can use the selection criteria to limit the number of customers tobe displayed. Two such categories are credit control area and riskcategory.
You can adjust the range of the data to be displayed so that it meetsyour information needs by defining your own display variants in theoutput lists. You can use the ABAP List Viewer functions to format thelist. For more information about the ABAP List Viewer, see the SAPLibrary under "CA - Cross-Application Components -> General ApplicationFunctions (CA-GTF) -> ABAP List Viewer".
To receive an early warning list, enter optional check parameters and acredit group for the checks you want to run.
If you make entries under the optional check parameters only, you cansimulate possible entries in automatic credit control. The simulationlist gives you an overview of which customers would be classified ascritical if you were to define these values in automatic creditcontrol.
If you only specify the credit group, the system only runs the checksagainst the automatic credit control data. This gives you an overviewof which customers currently fail the credit checks in SD.
