(for example) a reduction of working capital, an increase in cash flow projection, and a reduction of
process costs.

which can be used to optimize the financial supply chain either independently of one another or in
combination with one another.

   1.1 Credit Segment

   Definition

   Credit segments are required for calculating the credit limit and enable you to carry out detailed
   checks at business partner level.

   When you define a credit segment, you also decide on each currency in which all credit-relevant
   checks are to be carried out. Define the credit segments relevant for your company.

   Configuration

   Manu Path                IMG  FSCM  Credit Management  Credit Risk Monitoring  Master
                            Data  Create Credit Segments

SAP FSCM – Financial Supply Chain Management



   define the rating procedures that you can use to process external credit information for your
   business partners. You can use all of the ratings available for a business partner to calculate the
   score.

   There are two external and one internal rating procedure


   Configuration

            Domestic and foreign customers
            Regular customers
            Insured customers


       Configuration

SAP FSCM – Financial Supply Chain Management



   Step 1 :




   1.4 Define Formula

   Using the formula definition for the score calculations you define the value areas for the score. You
   can define these as required - both the form (numerical or alphanumerical) and range. If you use
   numerical score values, make sure that the formula result only outputs whole numbers for the
   score.
   To define the formulas, use the SAP Formula Editor. In SAP Credit Management, the functions of the
   formula editor have been enhanced. For more information about the additional functions, click
   here.
   In addition to some attributes of the business partner (for example, region, date of birth), you can
   use additional fields in the formula editor. These are as follows for the formulas for calculating the
   credit limit:
              1. Credit Segment
              2. Currency
              3. Score
