• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UKM_CHECK031 - Checked credit value &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message UKM_CHECK031 typically relates to credit management within the SAP system, specifically in the context of the SAP Credit Management module (part of SAP's Financial Supply Chain Management). This error indicates that the checked credit value exceeds the allowed limit for a customer or a specific transaction.
  Cause:
  The error message UKM_CHECK031 is triggered when the system checks the credit limit for a customer and finds that the credit exposure (the total amount of credit extended to the customer) exceeds the allowed credit limit. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Increased Sales Orders: New sales orders or open invoices may have pushed the customer's total credit exposure beyond the limit.
  Changes in Credit Limit: The credit limit for the customer may have been reduced or not updated in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of credit management settings in the system.
  Customer Master Data: The customer master data may not be correctly maintained, leading to incorrect credit checks.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the UKM_CHECK031 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 FD32 for display).
  If necessary, increase the credit limit if it is justified based on the customer's payment history and relationship.
  
  
  
  Analyze Credit Exposure:
  
  Use transaction code UKM_COMMIT or UKM_CHECK to analyze the current credit exposure for the customer.
  Review open sales orders, invoices, and any other credit-related transactions that contribute to the total exposure.
  
  
  
  Adjust Sales Orders:
  
  If the credit limit cannot be increased, consider adjusting the sales orders or invoices to bring the total exposure within the allowed limit.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the credit management settings in the system are correctly configured. This includes checking the credit control area and the settings for risk categories.
  
  
  
  Consult with Finance Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the credit limit adjustments or the implications of changing credit settings, consult with your finance or credit management team for guidance.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
  
  Ensure that relevant personnel are trained on credit management processes and that documentation is up to date to prevent similar issues in the future.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as FD32 (Display Customer Credit Management), FD33 (Display Customer Credit Management), UKM_COMMIT, and UKM_CHECK.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to credit management and the specific error message.
