The first evaluation made by the system when releasing an sale order is the customer credit analysis. If not approved, the system blocks the order and does not write off the quantities from the stock. This routine evaluates the customer credit by order, analyzing its risk, credit liming, and limit date.

Data including the customer's risk, credit risk, and the date the limit expires must be entered in the Customer File.

The amount under analysis is added to the existing bills plus existing orders and compared to the credit limit, as long as the expiring date of the last one is longer than the current one. If it is shorter, it goes to risk analysis. Thus, if the factors that blocked the order by credit remain the same, the order also remains blocked. If the order must be released anyhow, the option Manual must be used.

Costs from indemnification, freight, insurance, and expenses are not considered in the credit analysis, since they are applied only in the generation of the outflow document.

In the routine maintenance window, the orders are displayed according to their status:

 - Blocked by Credit

 - Released

 - Invoiced

 - Blocked by stock

 - Blocked by WMS


The system, in the release of credit or stock, updates the blocking codes of sale order items.

The blocking codes generated by the system are:


Block by Credit


Stock Block


WMS Codification


Parameters

The system runs several consistency checks to release the credit, taking in consideration the definition of parameters below:

When content is equal to .T., the system sends all order releases to credit approval. However, if parameter is equal to .F., no credit is blocked.

The parameter indicates if a new release blocked must be generated when the release is partial.

The parameter defines if an order that does not generate trade note, for example, gifts, donations, etc., should have its credit evaluated, according to TES definition.

The parameter is used in the automatically release of credit and defines the credit control by store or by customer.

The parameter indicates currency used to check customer credit limit (found in the Customer File)

The parameter is used in credit refusal situations, so the quantities are displayed although credit was denied.

The parameter defines minimum value for credit limit evaluation in current currency.

The parameter blocks a credit if there is stock blocking, to avoid compromising the customer's credit limit.

The parameter considers the quantity required for production as insufficient stock. This resource is useful for establishments that trade the same products used as raw material and/or intermediary product in their production process.

There are two ways to evaluate order credits:
