3600708 - Linking 'Credit Control Area' to 'Credit Segment' in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

• In SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, there is a need to understand how 'Credit Control Area' is linked to 'Credit Segment'.
• The business requirement is to assign multiple 'Credit Segments' to a single 'Company Code'.
• The current business scenario in SAP ECC does not use the 'Credit Segment' concept and multiple 'Credit Control Areas' are mapped to a single 'Company Code'.
• No option to split the special g/l postings between the credit segments.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. 'Credit Control Area' has a 1:1 relationship with 'Credit Segment' in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.
2. The configuration activity "Assign Sales Area to Credit Segment" assigns "Sales org/Distribution Channel/division" to the credit segment.
3. The configuration Activity "Assign company codes to a credit segment" allows multiple company codes to be assigned to the same credit segment. There is no restriction on the assignment of company codes to the credit segments.
4. Manually enter the desired credit control area during the posting of a Special G/L Document. For example, use App Post Outgoing Invoices under the "Details" tab of the Invoice.
