Odoo Customer Credit Limit

It is highly essential to know the net difference between the influx and efflux of the money in your business. Calculating the outstanding and unpaid remunerations from the customers thus becomes an important task for you to keep the unnecessary build-up of unpaid payments from customers in check.

Odoo Customer credit limit Module takes you one step closer by allowing you to put tabs on the spending in your store. It facilitates putting a credit limit or purchase limit on the customers in Odoo.

If the sum of both the total outstanding amount from the previous dues and a current order exceeds the prescribed limit, the system shows a cautionary pop-up on the screen.

The pop-up shows the details of the previous dues, set credit limit, and the amount exceeding the limit so you can make wise decisions.

Only a manager can approve such a quotation. An Odoo user other than the manager needs to send an approval request to his/her manager to approve the quotation.

• The module facilitates putting spending limits for the customers in Odoo.
• The Odoo admin can set a credit limit for any customer in the Odoo.
• The credit limit offered is the sum of total outstanding payments from previous orders and the total bill amount of the current sale quotation being placed for the customer.
• If the total of previous dues and current quotation exceeds the assigned credit limit, an Odoo user cannot convert the sale quotation to the sales order.
• A pop-up displays a detailed breakdown of the total due amount of the customer.
• The Odoo user, other than the manager needs to send an approval request to his/her manager to confirm the quotation.
• The request is sent to the respective manager via mail.
• Once the request is confirmed, the Odoo user is notified via mail. Also, the confirmation message shows up in the Odoo chatter of the concerned order.
