You can include or exclude some or all of your open accounts receivable balances, and some or all of your uninvoiced orders in your credit check rule. You can define as many credit checking rules as you need. If you inactivate a credit checking rule, you must also remove it from any order types that use it.

Oracle Order Entry/Shipping uses the currency of the order you are credit checking to determine which credit limits to use in credit checking calculations. Oracle Order Entry/Shipping only includes orders and invoices in the same currency as the order you are credit checking when calculating a customer's outstanding credit balance. See: Maintaining Customer Profiles.

You can only include the open accounts receivable balance if you have Oracle Receivables fully installed.

   To define a credit check rule:

1. Navigate to the Credit Check Rules window.

2. Enter a name for the credit check rule.

3. Optionally, enter the effective dates for the rule.

4. Indicate whether to include the open accounts receivables balance in this credit check rule.

You must activate either the Include Open Receivables Balance check box or the Include Uninvoiced Orders check box in your credit check rule. You can activate both, but you cannot toggle both off.

5. If you checked Include Open Receivables Balance, enter a value to indicate the range of dates for open receivables that you want to include in this credit check rule.

Negative Number: Includes past due, current, and future open receivables up to X days beyond the current date.

Positive Number: Includes open receivables with invoice dates X days earlier than the current date.

No Value: Includes all open receivables.

6. Indicate whether to include uninvoiced orders in this credit check rule.

You must activate either the Include Open Receivables Balance check box or the Include Uninvoiced Orders check box in your credit check rule. You can activate both, but you cannot toggle both off.

7. If you checked Include Uninvoiced Orders, enter the number of scheduled shipping horizon days for uninvoiced orders to include in your total credit exposure.

For example, if you enter 45, your total exposure includes only uninvoiced orders scheduled to ship within 45 days of the current date. Orders scheduled to ship after 45 days are not included.

8. If you include uninvoiced orders in your credit check rule:

• Indicate whether to include orders currently on hold.

• Indicate whether to include tax on uninvoiced orders.

Credit checking calculations on open receivables always include tax amounts and are not affected by the Include Tax option. If the performance of credit checking requires improvement you can toggle off this option.

9. If you include open accounts receivables balance in your credit check rule, indicate whether to include payments at risk when calculating a customer's outstanding balance.

Receipts at risk are remitted receipts that have not been cleared, or discounted (factored) receipts that have not been risk eliminated. If the performance of credit checking requires improvement you can toggle off this option.

10. Save your work.
