Key features:  Transfer of FI-CA Credit Score to SAP Credit Management You transfer the FI-CA credit score to SAP Credit Management using the mass activity for replicating credit scores (transaction FPCM2). Monthly Comparison of FI-CA Credit Scores In Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable, you can enter a monthly weighting for creditworthiness (under Business Transactions  Dunning  Define Time-Dependent Creditworthiness Weightings). If the credit score of a business partner changes due to this changed weighting factor at the changeover to a new month, Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable does not record the fact that a change took place. To preclude the necessity of replicating the credit scores of all business partners to SAP Credit Management, you use the mass activity for comparing the replicated credit scores (transaction FPCM3) to identify those business partners where their credit score has changed due to the monthly weighting. The mass activity marks the business partners where there was a change to their credit score. Then, in the mass activity for replicating credit scores (transaction FPCM2), you transfer only the changed values (Only Changed Scores indicator) to SAP Credit Management. Transfer of Internal Score to Contract Accounts Receivable and PayableIf you transfer the FI-CA credit score to SAP Credit Management by using the transaction for replicating credit scores (FPCM2), the updated internal score from SAP Credit Management is returned automatically to Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable. This means that you can only replicate the score in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable by performing the mass activity for replicating the credit score (transaction FPCM2). Settings for Calculating the Credit Score in SAP Credit Management SAP Credit Management saves the FI-CA credit score as external credit information in the rating procedure FICA. For the configuration, see the description in Customizing for SAP Credit Management under Make Settings in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable. Caution In Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable, the best credit score has the value 0. You also have to apply this logic for the calculation of the score in SAP Credit Management. The formula for calculating the score in SAP Credit Management must only contain the FI-CA credit score as additive argument in the following form: Credit score = FI-CA credit score + other revenue shares from SAP Credit Management This enables the score in SAP Credit Management to be simulated at any time in FI-CA using the current FI-CA credit score, even if the score has not been replicated from SAP Credit Management yet. This means that when you change the FI-CA credit score, for example, due to a dunning activity in FI-CA, you can calculate the score directly in SAP Credit Management. Caution Note that if you do not follow this procedure, the credit score in FI-CA and the credit score in SAP Credit Management will not be calculated correctly.
