Credit Check Type

The credit check type indicator determines what credit checks are performed for a customer.  This feature allows different customers to have different credit check requirements.

The credit check type for a customer is maintained through the Customer Master Maintenance conversation.  Valid credit check types are maintained on the Reference File (category D37).  A credit check type can be any combination of credit limit, accounts receivable limit,  order limit, and corporate credit checking.

Considerations

Only the credit checks indicated by the customer's credit check type are performed.  For example, if a customer's credit check type omits the order limit check, then the customer's orders will be cleared no matter how large.
