Symptom
- When creating a delivery (VL01N) with reference to a sales order and saving the delivery note, an error is reported related to credit segment 0000.
- A custom credit segment (for example, 1110) is used and the parameter “Add. Contribution to Main Credit Segment” was deactivated, but the system still checks/reports credit exposure against credit segment 0000.
- Reported as “Wrong Credit Exposure of Credit Segment 0000.”
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Configure a custom credit segment and deactivate “Add. Contribution to Main Credit Segment.”
- Create a delivery (VL01N) with reference to a sales order.
- Save the delivery note.
- Observe that an error/check still occurs against credit segment 0000.
Cause
The credit check was not restricted to the segment level. Even with “Add. Contribution to Main Credit Segment” deactivated in the custom credit segment, the system still evaluates the main credit segment 0000 when the credit check is not set to “On Segment Level Only.”
Resolution
- Open the configuration activity for credit segments (SSCUI 102104).
- For the affected custom credit segment, ensure “Add. Contribution to Main Credit Segment” is deactivated.
- Change the Credit Check setting to “On Segment Level Only” so that checks exclude the main credit segment 0000 for that custom segment.
- Save the configuration.
- Test by creating and saving a delivery (VL01N) with reference to a sales order to confirm no unwanted check against credit segment 0000 occurs.
