Credit Line (M2) - Credit Line for Individual Customers (Backend)

Credit Line Settings for Individual Customers

Back to User Guides

It is possible to determine different credit line settings for different customers. The following settings will override the default settings causing exceptions for specific customers.

To configure Credit Line for individual customers, go to CUSTOMERS → All Customers → {select a customer} → CUSTOMER INFORMATION → Credit Line.

The Credit Line Settings for customers are inherited from the general settings. Thus you can set the individual configuration per customer within their profiles. There are two sections allowing to configure the balance and the credit line settings.

Balance Information
