SD credit check

Credit limit exceeded — sales order blocked

Sales order or delivery is blocked by credit management because the customer's exposure exceeds the configured limit or check rule.

Likely root causes

  1. Open orders, deliveries, billing or receivables push credit exposure over the limit.
  2. Credit limit/risk class is outdated or missing.
  3. Credit exposure has not updated correctly after clearing or migration.

What to inspect

  1. Credit block/status on the sales document.
  2. Customer credit master and current exposure in the active credit-management solution.
  3. Open receivables, orders, deliveries and billing contributing to exposure.

Resolution path

  1. Validate the exposure rather than overriding the block blindly.
  2. Use the approved credit-release workflow when commercial approval exists.
  3. Correct credit master/exposure inconsistencies if data is wrong.
  4. Re-run the credit check after the underlying issue is resolved.
