Credit control area means? What is the relationship exists
between credit control areas and company codes?

Answer Posted / christine kendall

Credit control areas and company codes are separate organisational structures. Company codes relate to the accounts receivable and credit control area to the management of risk/credit. 2 separate functions.
One company code can have one or more credit control areas and credit control areas can have more company codes. However, Individual customers can only be assigned to one credit control area but could also trade with multiple company codes depending on how the parent company is organised.
In my org we have one company code trading with customers based in different countries and using different currencies so there is one credit control area for each currency all within a single company code.
The flexibility of the system is a SAP strength.
