Hi,
I am looking to setup Credit Management so that Business Partners are updated with credit information from a credit reference agency. I can see two transactions in the SAP Menu: UKM_MASS_UPD1 - External Credit Information and UKM_MONITOR - Update Entries for Ext. Credit Info.
I understand that BAdI UKM_CREDIT_INFO needs to be implemented. I am, however, a little confused as to what the difference is between these two transactions, their associated programs and the PI message types that are used. They both seem to update Business Partners with external credit information.
From what I have read, when executing UKM_MASS_UPD1 method FILL_QUERY in BAdI UKM_CREDIT_INFO should be used and the PI message types used are CreditAgencyReportQuery (structures the message for requesting credit information) and CreditAgencyReportResponse (
structures the response message that contains the required credit information).
When executing UKM_MONITOR, however, method MONITOR_FILL_QUERY in the BAdI UKM_CREDIT_INFO should be used and the PI message types used are CreditAgencyMonitorQuery (structures the message for requesting external credit monitoring information) and CreditAgencyMonitorResponse (s
tructures the response message with the required information).
Would anyone be able to offer guidance on the difference between the two transactions (UKM_MASS_UPD1 versus UKM_MONITOR) and which of the Methods should be used along with which PI message types should be utilised?
Many thanks
