This message typically arises in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when processing transportation charges or freight settlements.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when the system determines that a credit limit check is not applicable for the business partner involved in the transaction. This is usually due to the following reasons:

  Review Business Partner Settings:
  
  Check the payment terms assigned to the business partner in the master data. Ensure that the terms of payment are correctly configured to reflect the intended credit limit checks.

  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If necessary, review the configuration settings in the SAP system related to credit limit checks and payment terms. This may involve consulting with your SAP configuration team or reviewing the relevant customizing settings in the SPRO transaction.
