Accounts Receivable Credit Requests Credit Requests Setup
Before creating the employee setups for Credit Requests, it must first be determined how Credit Requests will flow within your organization. You need to ask yourself the questions, who will be the first, second and third person to sign-off on the requests. And further, will certain individuals be able to create the Credit Memo without moving to the next level of sign-off. Once company rules have been established, proceed to the setup steps. It is not required to use all three levels of sign-off; your company may have one or two sign-off levels only.
The sign-off flow of the Credit Request is determined by the setup in SedonaSetup Employee setup table. The field labeled Supervisor and Credit Request Handoff controls which employee the Credit Request will be assigned to. The employee record must be linked to an active User record found in the User setup table.
The User Group assigned to the User controls fields for Credit Request dollar limits and controls other security options associated with Credit Request. The User Group field Credit Memo Limit is where you are able to set the maximum dollar amount limit for a User assigned to a User Group. The User will not be able to sign-off a Credit Request for an amount over their User Group Credit Memo Limit amount. Users participating in the Credit Request process do not have to have a Credit Memo Limit assigned to their User Group. If the User Group is not assigned a Credit Memo Limit, they may enter a Credit Request but not be able to approve the Credit Request for the amount requested; the Credit Request would need to be approved by a User with the appropriate Credit Memo Limit.
To begin the setup process, the Credit Requests function must first be activated in SedonaSetup. Follow the links below for instructions on how to activate this function.
