How To Fix F4717 - Credit limit can only be maintained with credit account &

F4717 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: F4 - Line items/balances/configuration

• Message number: 717

• Message text: Credit limit can only be maintained with credit account &

What causes this issue?

The credit limit is to be managed for account &V1& (in the same control
area).
This reference method causes the total of the receivables to be managed
for the referencing customer and for credit account &V1&. The credit
limit is only managed for &V1&, checks on whether the limit has been
exceeded are also only carried out there.
The credit limit amount therefore only needs to be specified for credit
account &V1&.
