This field is used to define the customer's spending limit.

 

•The default value of 0 indicates the customer does not have any credit.

 

•If a customer should have an unlimited credit limit enter 999999 in this field.

 

•In a multiple ship-to situation, each Ship To customer will be evaluated using their own credit limit rather than the credit limit of the Bill-To account.

 

•The credit hold report can be configured to list all customers that have exceeded their credit limit.

•Should a customer exceed their credit limit, the Over Credit Limit $ field will appear on the invoicing screen below the Tax Total $ field. This field will be highlighted in red and show the total amount the customer is over their credit limit.

 

 

•The Over Credit Limit field is only a warning for the data entry operator, entrée does not prevent an invoice from being created when a customer exceeds their credit limit. Credit limits can however be enforced by using the Auto Credit Hold feature covered in the Credit Hold section of this chapter.
