  The SAP error message UKM_CHECK009 indicates that the total liability for a customer exceeds the defined credit limit. This is part of the SAP Credit Management functionality, which is used to manage customer credit limits and assess credit risk.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The total outstanding liabilities (invoices, open orders, etc.) for a customer exceed the credit limit set in the system.
  The system is configured to check credit limits during sales order processing, delivery, or billing, and the current transaction would push the total liability over the allowed limit.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Customer Credit Limit:
  
  Check the credit limit assigned to the customer in the customer master data (transaction code FD03 for display).
  If necessary, increase the credit limit if it is justified based on the customer's payment history and financial stability.
  
  
  
  Review Outstanding Liabilities:
  
  Analyze the customer's current outstanding liabilities to understand why they exceed the credit limit. This can be done using reports or transaction codes like FBL5N (Customer Line Item Display).
  
  
  
  Adjust Open Items:
  
  If there are overdue invoices or items that can be cleared, consider following up with the customer for payment or adjusting the open items.
  
  
  
  Credit Management Settings:
  
  Review the credit management settings in the system to ensure they align with your company's credit policies. This includes checking the credit control area and the settings for automatic credit checks.
  
  
  
  Override Credit Check:
  
  If it is necessary to proceed with the transaction despite the credit limit being exceeded, you may need to override the credit check. This typically requires appropriate authorization and should be done with caution.
  
  
  
  Consult with Finance Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the credit limit adjustments or the implications of overriding the credit check, consult with your finance or credit management team for guidance.
