Testing credit management in SAP involves a series of steps to ensure that the credit limits set for

customers are correctly enforced during sales and distribution processes. Here's a step-by-step guide to
testing credit management in SAP:

### 1. **Configure Credit Management Settings**

#### a. Define Credit Control Area

1. **SPRO -> Enterprise Structure -> Definition -> Financial Accounting -> Define Credit Control Area**

2. Create a new credit control area or use an existing one.

3. Assign a unique identifier and specify the required parameters like currency, fiscal year variant, etc.

#### b. Assign Credit Control Area to Company Code

1. **SPRO -> Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Financial Accounting and Controlling -> Assign
Company Code to Credit Control Area**

2. Assign the previously created credit control area to your company code.

#### c. Define Risk Categories

1. **SPRO -> Financial Supply Chain Management -> Credit Management -> Credit Risk Monitoring ->
Define Risk Categories**

2. Create risk categories based on your business requirements.

#### d. Maintain Credit Limits

1. **FD32 - Change Customer Credit Management**

2. Enter customer number and credit control area.

3. Set credit limits for the customer.

### 2. **Create Master Data**

#### a. Create Customer Master

1. **XD01 - Create Customer (Centrally)**


2. Enter necessary details and assign the credit control area to the customer.

#### b. Create Material Master

1. **MM01 - Create Material**

2. Enter necessary details and ensure the material is available for sales.

### 3. **Define Sales Order and Billing Configuration**

#### a. Define and Assign Sales Document Types

1. **SPRO -> Sales and Distribution -> Sales -> Sales Documents -> Sales Document Header -> Define
Sales Document Types**

2. Ensure the sales document types (e.g., order types) are correctly configured to trigger credit checks.

#### b. Define Credit Management in Sales Documents

1. **SPRO -> Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Credit Management/Risk Management -> Credit
Management -> Define Automatic Credit Control**

2. Set up automatic credit control based on the combination of credit control area, risk category, and
document type.

### 4. **Test Credit Management**

#### a. Create Sales Order

1. **VA01 - Create Sales Order**

2. Enter the customer, material, and quantity.

3. Save the sales order and note the order number.

#### b. Check Credit Status

1. **VA02 - Change Sales Order**

2. Enter the sales order number and check the status of the credit check.

3. Ensure the system performs a credit check and displays the credit status.
#### c. Simulate Exceeding Credit Limit

1. Increase the order quantity or create multiple orders to exceed the customer’s credit limit.

2. Ensure the system blocks the sales order or issues a warning based on the configuration.

#### d. Review Credit Exposure

1. **FD33 - Display Customer Credit Management**

2. Enter the customer number and credit control area.

3. Check the current credit exposure and ensure it reflects the recent sales orders.

#### e. Create Delivery and Billing

1. **VL01N - Create Delivery**

- Ensure the delivery creation is blocked if the credit limit is exceeded.

2. **VF01 - Create Billing Document**

- Ensure billing is blocked if delivery was blocked due to credit limit issues.

### 5. **Adjust and Re-Test**

#### a. Adjust Credit Limits or Risk Categories

1. **FD32 - Change Customer Credit Management**

2. Adjust the credit limit and re-test the scenarios to ensure changes are correctly enforced.

#### b. Review and Approve Sales Orders

1. **VKM1 - Blocked SD Documents**

2. Review blocked sales orders and manually release them if needed based on the business process.

### 6. **Document and Report**


1. **Document the Test Cases** - Document each test case with details such as customer, order
numbers, credit limits, and expected outcomes.

2. **Generate Reports** - Use standard SAP reports to review credit management performance and
identify any issues.

### Tips for Effective Testing

- **Use Test Data:** Use realistic test data to simulate real-world scenarios.

- **Perform Negative Testing:** Ensure the system correctly handles scenarios where credit limits are
exceeded.

- **User Training:** Ensure users understand how to interpret credit blocks and release orders if
necessary.

- **Review Logs:** Check SAP logs for any errors or warnings during testing.

By following these steps, you can thoroughly test the credit management functionality in SAP and ensure
it meets your business requirements.
