Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Customer Credit Management App
-
Kick start the process by setting a default Credit Limit:
Go to Accounting > Settings > Check the box “Sales Credit Limit” > Set a Credit Limit
-
Define the Approvers for Credit Management:
Go to Configuration > Sales > List down names of Approvers responsible to Approve/Reject Credit changes for the system
-
Methods for Credit Management:
Based on Sale: This method calculates credit limits based on customer's sales order.
Based on Invoice: This method calculates credit limits based on customer's invoices.
-
Select/Create Customer and Assign Credit Limit:
Go to Customers and Create a new one or Select and Existing one to prepare quotation against their requirement.
Go to Accounting Tab and assign Available Credit for the Selected Customer.
-
Create Sales Order and Invoice:
Go to Sales > Create Sales Order > Add Essential Details > Set Product quantity & Price per unit. As shown in the above screenshot we have set a credit limit of 1000 for the customer “Aktiv Software”.
-
Create Invoice:
The quotation generated for Aktiv Software is for 899 and their credit limit is set to 1000 so as per the flow, they don’t exceed the credit limit and hence there is no requirement of approval in this case so, an invoice will be generated.
Unless and until the invoice is generated, system will not update the total receivables. Once the invoice is generated, the credit limit and total receivables will be updated in the system.
-
Managing Credit Exhaust Scenarios:
Let’s say we try to create one more sales order for “Aktiv Software” who has already used 899 credit out of 1000 available credit. If we try to create another sales order for same product, a warning message will be displayed as shown below:
- System will prompt a warning whenever there is an order which will be higher than the allocated Credit for the customer.
- System will provide information regarding the pending credit as well as pending payments from the customers.
-
Credit Extension Approval - Request to Credit Manager
As per the default Odoo flow, the process would have concluded here with the warning prompts and user would have still been able to place order for the customer who has already exceeded their credit limit.
But with this app, as soon as the user creates a sale order for “Aktiv Software” who has exceeded credit limit, the system will send a credit approval request to the pre-defined approvers or credit managers.
System will send a request to accountable approvers to take action for the additional credit and a new stage with “Waiting for Approval” will be displayed in the Sales tabs.
Once User gets the approval for the Sales order, system will allow to create the Invoice.
If users create customer invoice directly from Invoices then they will need to follow the same process as Sales orders.
-
Put Customer on HOLD
Users can put customers on hold who have consistently exceeded credit limits without clearing payment. Users can use this feature to restrict any transactions with selected customers.
User can set warning message for customers they want to put on hold. So, when any other user tries to place order for those customers this warning message will be displayed.
-
Unblock Customer
System also allow users to unblock customers put on hold as per requirement.
-
Credit History
System saves all credit management changes as log on the customer page.
The app comes with a specific configuration that enables you to manage credits at order or invoice level.
No, to ensure consistent enforcement, users cannot bypass the block. However, authorized users can initiate an approval workflow for exceptions.
You can designate specific users or groups within Odoo as credit approvers, ensuring a controlled and accountable decision-making process.
Once activated, the system prevents the creation of new sales orders for that customer within Odoo. This ensures you maintain control and mitigate potential risks until the situation is resolved.
