2786413 - Role of 'Credit active' indicator in credit management

Symptom

The 'Credit Active' indicator (also referred to as the 'Active Receivable' indicator) is deactivated for a specific item category. Based on this setting, the user expects the following behavior:

  • No credit check will be performed, and the sales document will not receive a credit status (CMGST).
  • The FI accounting document will not increase the 'Open Receivables' (SKFOR) value in the credit exposure.
