Question

For a typical order entry/sales (OE/S) process to check a customer's credit, all of the following data stores likely would be consulted except the?

1) general ledger master data
2) customer master data
3) accounts receivable master data
4) sales order master data

Answer 1

In checking a customer's credit for an order entry/sales process, the general ledger master data is not typically consulted; instead, customer master data, accounts receivable master data, and sales order master data provide relevant information.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the context of a typical order entry/sales (OE/S) process, when checking a customer's credit, the general ledger master data is the exception in terms of the data stores that would likely be consulted. The customer master data, accounts receivable master data, and sales order master data are all directly relevant to assessing a customer's creditworthiness. The general ledger, while important for overall financial reporting, does not provide the detailed customer-specific information such as credit history, current outstanding balances, and order history that would be important for making a credit decision.
