Credit Management - Error V1162- With No credit active for Sales area

Hi,

I am getting an error V1162- Credit check (next customer check date has passed) while saving an third party order(Item category customized) and subsequently PR is not getting created due to credit check failure.

Please note, No Cr.cntrl.area has been assigned at Sales Area level and No credit data maintained for customer.

The sales document type has Automatic credit control, which will be used in different Sales area.

My Question:-

Though credit management is not active at Sales area, why system is going for credit checks? What could be the possible reasons for this error?

Regards,

Sudhakar
