• Key Concepts: 
  Plan credit is a feature of SAP Controlling (CO) that allows users to plan and manage credit limits for customers. It enables users to set up credit limits for customers and monitor their credit usage. The system also provides an overview of the customer’s credit status, including the current balance, the total amount of credit used, and the remaining available credit. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use plan credit in SAP Controlling, users must first set up a customer master record with a credit limit. This can be done in the Customer Master Data (XD01) transaction. Once the customer master record is created, users can then set up a plan credit limit in the Plan Credit Limit (F-44) transaction. This will allow users to monitor the customer’s credit usage and ensure that they do not exceed their limit. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to note that plan credit is only available for customers with a valid customer master record. Additionally, it is important to regularly review and update the customer’s credit limit as needed. This will help ensure that customers do not exceed their limit and that their accounts remain in good standing.
