Hi Subha,

Thanks for your curiosity & patience. I will give you now
correct answer as no one has replied.

This question I had asked in one of the interviews panel.
The correct answer is as under:

Terms of payment in company code is set by Finance
department say 30 days. They want to have money faster with
less credit.

However, Marketing dpeartment says that looking to
competition in the market & prevailing credit limit we have
to give 60 days credit. As they are expert in this field &
they have to increase the sales & revenue they are final
authority to decide the credit limit.

So in Customer master company code says 30 days credit but
marketing says 60 days credit. You maintain above credit
limit in custome rmaster.

So when you prepare sales order it will always take 60 days
credit i.e. the credit days you put in sales area & not in
company code.As Marketing is final authority for sales
revenue.

Try this on the system & it will work like this only.

Trust this will satisfy. This is tricky question & no where
it is written in the book.
