Starting point

Risk identification and control is an integral part of modern credit management. Securing financial risks has long been a common practice in the export business (e.g. by means of letters of credit) and it is now taking on greater importance in domestic trade, too.
Besides asking for cash collateral, such as down payments or deposits, it has become increasingly common for companies to try to obtain non-cash securities from their customers.

Information on these securities is of far-reaching importance for a number of routine processes in SAP, e.g.:

• Credit management (definition of credit limits)
• Credit check (blocking of orders)
• Dunning
• Risk management
• Value adjustment

Managing non-cash securities outside SAP, e.g. in Excel sheets, will therefore not do the job.
