|
A credit limit is the maximum amount of credit that a financial institution or
|
|
other lender will extend to a debtor for a particular line of credit. From an
|
|
organisation's perspective, it is the maximum amount of credit which a
|
|
customer gets on goods purchased.
|

|
|
To set credit limit go to Customer - Master
|
|
|
|
> Selling > Document > Customer

|
accept orders or raise credit limits of customers.
