Classic credit management
(FI-AR-CR)

Customers who used the classic SAP credit management solution in SAP ERP must also switch to the new FSCM credit management solution with the conversion to S/4HANA. Their business processes can generally be retained, but the technical settings must be analyzed and edited in detail. Existing settings made in the area of credit management must be adapted accordingly to the new settings in Financial Supply Chain Management (FSCM). The business partner plays a central role here. The data relevant for credit risk monitoring is stored in the corresponding business partner master record. This also includes a transfer/update of open items from FI-AR to the business partner master record, including information on blocked sales orders. The SAP standard migration tools enable a simplified upgrade approach. Relevant Configuration settings such as credit segments and risk classes are converted during the migration. New settings must be defined and stored directly in the S/4HANA system.
