The
credit limit is the maximum amount of Accounts
Receivable that your company accepts to own with a given customer.
It depends on the volume of business forecasted with the buyer, the
payment term granted and its financial capacities.
The
credit limit is not necessarily the output of the Insurer guarantee and
Other guarantees. It is defined with several criteria that can integrate these two fields or not.
In
My DSO Manager , the
credit limit is managed at the legal entity level. If you have multiple accounts that belong to the same legal entity, the
credit limit has to be checked compare to the consolidated
receivable of all of these accounts. This consolidation is based on the
Legal ID field of customers' data.
There is one
credit limit for one legal entity. If you change it in a customer account, it will be automatically updated on other accounts with same
legal ID.
In the customer
Risk report tab tab, information and credit analyzes are necessarily done at the the legal entity level.
In the
Risk report,
receivable data are consolidated at the level of the legal entity in order to have a global view of the exposure with a given company.
It is also possible to update the
credit limit in the
Risk report by entering the amount directly in the table listing the customers.
