This blog provides an update on Credit Management capabilities based upon the S/4HANA 1909 release.
The basic license includes the manual features for setting credit limits, setting risk classes and setting an
internal score for a Business Partner. If an automated calculation is needed, then an additional license is
required for the Advanced Credit Management with S/4HANA option.
Summary of features:
For the link to an external credit agency, an xml formatted file can be added as project work or the data can be
input manually on the Business Partner as a part of the base license. An additional license is required to use the
cloud-based link to credit agencies. The cloud-based service provides about 20-30 credit agencies such as Dun
& Bradstreet right out of the box.
An additional option for credit integration is the SAP Cloud for Credit Integration application service. SAP
S/4HANA Cloud for credit integration allows you to use external credit risk information in order to make
better credit decisions and to automate the monitoring of your customers’ credit risk.
Features:
The Business Partner displays where the Credit Management data is stored. In the BP Role of “SAP Credit
Management” the Scoring Rules, Risk Class, Check Rule and the integration to External Credit Agencies are
all listed. This can be accessed via the GUI t/code “BP” (refer to the Credit Profile and Creditworthiness tabs)
or in Fiori by the “Manage Business Partner” app. Here is an example of the BP t/code:
What is the Minimum Configuration Required for SAP Credit Management in S/4HANA?
Following the “Principle of One “where there was overlapping functionality across applications, the S/4HANA
solution is simplified to one. At its core, SAP Credit Management in S/4HANA is for all intents and purposes
FSCM which was re-branded in S/4HANA. The former AR and SD features were then added. SAP Credit
Management in S/4HANA resides in the Finance Module. For the minimum configuration of SAP Credit
Management in S/4HANA, perform the “required” actions in the Task List PDF attached to the SAP
Note 2270544.
