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

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.

However, the exact purpose and impact of the 'Credit Active' indicator in both the credit check process and credit value update are not clearly defined, leading to misinterpretation or incorrect expectations regarding system behavior.
