1. Assign the "Parent/Superordinate" customer & "Child/Subordinate" customer hierarchy and credit limit to the Parent customer in Credit Group customers using BP relationships.
2. Create a sales order with the child customer.
3. Observe that the credit check is performed for the parent and child customers.

The credit check process can be controlled by assigning different credit check rules to parent and child business partners depending on the desired business scenario.

Scenario 1: Perform Credit Check Only for the Parent Business Partner

• Assign the child business partner/customer account to a dedicated credit check rule (for example, Z*) that does not contain any credit check steps.
• Assign the parent or superordinate customer account to a different credit check rule that contains the required credit check configuration.
• As a result, the credit check is executed only for the parent business partner, while the child business partner is excluded from the credit check process.

Scenario 2: Perform Credit Check Only for the Child Business Partner

• Configure the parent or superordinate customer account with a credit check rule that does not contain any credit check steps.
• Assign the child business partner/customer account to the credit check rule containing the required credit check configuration.
• As a result, the credit check is executed only for the child business partner, while the parent business partner is excluded from the credit check process.

This approach provides flexibility in determining the organizational level at which credit checks should be performed based on specific business requirements.
