Define Credit Controlling Area SAP FiCO

Definition:

The credit control area is an organizational entity which grants and monitors a credit limit for customers. A credit control area can include one or more company codes.

You can also enter the credit control area separately for each posting, if this was marked in the appropriate company code.

It follows that company codes and credit control areas are not linked. The only thing that you define in the company code table is the default credit control area. This is used either for payments on account to credit these payments, or where you did not enter a credit control area or the system could not determine one.
