Layered risk
Balance, open orders, goods in transit, and overdue amounts each stand separately. They do not collapse into a single cell.

Short answer
What is account and limit management?
Request a meetingCurrent account and limit management is the record at which the dealer's or corporate buyer's open account, payment terms, risk, and collection status are captured at the moment an order is placed. It is not an accounting screen. It is not a scorecard. Shopsoft connects this layer to the backbone of B2B software; it eliminates the scenario where a limit is discovered only after shipment.
An account code is not management. A balance sitting in the ERP does not stop an order. A sales representative says "this customer is reliable", the warehouse ships the goods, and finance sees the risk at month end. The Istanbul team, developing software since 2004 and drawing on 700+ agency infrastructure engagements, brings that accumulated discipline to bear at this precise moment. The goal is not to sell a credit score — it is to ensure that the order sees the risk at the moment it is placed.
Business problem
If the limit appears at the end of the month, there is no limit.
In B2B, the most costly sentence is "ship it, we'll sort it out later." The open account grows, payment terms slip, cheques are dishonoured, and new orders are opened regardless. By the time the finance report arrives, the damage is done. The warehouse and field teams are blameless; no record existed at the moment the order was placed.
The second point of failure is treating the credit limit as a single figure. Total balance, open orders, goods in transit, cheques, collateral, and overdue amounts are distinct layers. A spreadsheet collapses them into one cell. The display reads "limit available"; in reality, goods in transit have already consumed it. The third point of failure is the exception. Every customer is a special customer. Where a special case goes unrecorded, there is no rule.
The field representative opens an order from a mobile device without seeing the account balance. The portal says "add to cart"; the account record stays silent. Once the shipment has gone out, the finance team places a credit hold — the customer relationship is damaged and the goods are already in transit. Shopsoft requires, during discovery, one over-limit order and one "why did we cut them off when the goods had already left" story. Without that story, no rule is written.
This page does not target the pricing engine, the inventory software, or the order storefront as its primary subject. The topic is risk becoming visible at the moment an order is placed. No scoring model is promised. No credit bureau product is sold. The account record is the register of your contract and your balance.
If every line is blocked, sales dies. If nothing is blocked, finance dies. The threshold rule carries this tension. A small consumable does not wait for a lengthy approval; a large open-account order stays in draft. The title chain is simplified; not every line item escalates to the general manager.
B2B pricing system calculates the amount; the account record determines whether that amount can be carried. Even when the price is correct, the limit can cut it off. When the two are conflated, 'let us offer a discount so the account opens up' creates a second exception. Shopsoft distinguishes between a price exception and a limit exception at the point of discovery.
If the collection signal remains only in the visit note, the ledger tells lies. The B2B mobile application can be the surface of the field; the limit must be read from the same record there as well. An order opened offline must not exceed the limit once it is uploaded, and must not produce a duplicate entry. The conflict rule is written from the outset.
Shopsoft approach
Cut, hold in draft, leave a trace.
Shopsoft does not set up a counterparty as an accounting replica. The layers are clarified first: actual balance, open order reserve, goods in transit, overdue, collateral, cheque. Which of these is consuming the limit is recorded in the audit trail. If it is not recorded, the fiction that "a limit exists" persists.
The approach is to check at the moment of order entry. If the basket amount plus open risk exceeds the threshold, the record remains in draft. A user with the appropriate role opens it with a stated reason. A log is kept. Silent overrides do not exist. Order management system carries this draft; the warehouse does not print without approval.
B2B pricing system generates the amount. The current account weighs that amount. CRM software can retain a “customer angry” note; a note is not a limit. Business process automation binds the repeating approval step to this record; it is not a chat-bot showcase.
The Istanbul team does not treat discovery as a score presentation. One open account, one protest or delay, one “lock after goods have gone” document is enough. In global business the local communication network does not confuse a language difference with a payment-term difference. The translation package does not generate risk.
The blockage rule requires fine-tuning. Absolute halt, warning and partial shipment prohibition are separate cases. If they all become the same red screen, the field rule is breached. In discovery, Shopsoft maps which lock it applies in which case using your documents.
Collection is a movement that winds back the current account. The payment product is not the primary intent of this page; the link remains visible. The limit is not opened until collection is recorded. The phrase “money is on the way” is not collateral.
In a multi-company structure, account identities become conflated. The same customer occupies two credit limits across two companies. The inventory management system separates stock; the accounts receivable layer must separate the company dimension as well. This page does not address multi-company product allocation; it explains how a credit limit erodes without dimensional boundaries.
Go-live does not require all customers to be locked in on the same day. The first tranche closes the trio of opening balance at order time, draft threshold, and audit trail. Credit score and collateral are added once this trio is in place. Without this sequence, the result is a 'goods have left the warehouse' scenario lurking behind an attractive risk dashboard.
Core capabilities
Places where risk should be visible at the point of order.
This list is not a credit scoring module. These are tasks that the accounts and limit management process must carry as records.
Order cut-off intersection
If the threshold is exceeded, the draft remains. The warehouse does not print without approval. There is no silent overrun.
Exception and proxy action
Every opening is justified and tracked. "I clicked on their behalf" does not go unrecorded.
Due date and delay
Overdue status links new orders to a separate rule. A reminder note is not a rule.
Partial shipment effect
The limit is still consumed while part of the goods are in transit. Partial life is included in the risk.
Field surface
Mobile and web read the same balance. The offline upload limit is not exceeded.
Operational scenario
The cart speaks in dollars, the limit speaks, the goods wait.
Dealer opens 22 line items. Amount arises from tiered pricing. Open order + balance threshold is exceeded. Portal holds in draft; alert drops to headquarters. Warehouse does not print. Field representative requests a one-time opening with justification. Role approves; audit trail remains. Goods then leave.
On the same day an overdue invoice exists on another line. The rule does not fully stop the new order; it imposes a partial shipment ban or requests collateral. The phrase “good customer” does not delete this rule. Finance sees it while the transaction is stopped, not at month-end.
A collection recorded in the afternoon closes the ledger entry. The credit limit reopens. A draft can be promoted to live. It does not open on the basis of "money in transit". During discovery, Shopsoft plays with this morning's data against your own maturity and collateral practices. Fifty customers and five thousand customers do not share the same threshold.
An offline field representative opens a draft while the warehouse is closed. The moment the upload occurs, the limit is re-evaluated. If an overrun exists, the draft remains held — no duplicate order is generated. Location and timestamp cannot be fabricated after the fact. This is the depth of the mobile product; this page does not treat it as a primary objective, but it does require the same record.
On campaign day, the basket swells. A limit alert is sent to the field and head office simultaneously. A silent breach is next week's dispute. Current account and limit management carries this alert as a recording rule, not a score ornament.
When a new dealer is onboarded, the limit is not copied — it is defined. A zero-risk assumption explodes on the first order. Discovery does not leave the rule of 'how much open account for a new current account' undocumented. An undefined limit is no limit at all.
How it works
Layers first, then the lock.
Displaying a balance screen is not limit management. Until it is clear which party absorbs the risk, a lock either stops everyone or stops no one.
Request a meeting-
Risk tiers
Balance, open order, goods in transit, overdue, and collateral are separated. The Excel cell comes to the table.
-
Threshold states
Warning, draft, absolute stop, and partial dispatch prohibition are written. They are not all the same shade of red.
-
Order-time binding
Cart and field request the same record. Shipment closes without approval.
-
Trace and collection
The exception is logged. The collection limit rolls back. The first instalment closes this triplet.
Integrations
The current account does not generate a secondary balance.
API integration links the balance to the ERP or accounting close. Blind copying creates a second current account. Whichever system holds authority is recorded at discovery. The order moment queries that authority — not last night's Excel file.
Order management system carries the draft and the shipment. Inventory actuals verify that goods in transit do not consume the limit. The pricing engine provides the amount. The payment line posts the collection. This page does not replace those products; it describes the moment of intersection.
Business process automation binds repeating opening approval to the queue. If every line waits for a human, sales stop. If there is no human at all, risk escapes. The threshold determines the place of automation. A chat bot does not generate limits.
If cheque, collateral and e-document do not sit on the line, the field still says “goods went out”. Which queue, which instant call is a discovery decision. There is no fixed stack. If the link is broken, the current-account claim does not stop.
The CRM card holds customer sentiment. The limit record holds risk. They communicate; they do not interfere with one another. A "good relationship" may serve as a justification for initiating a request; the justification leaves a trace, but it does not remove the rule.
The mobile surface queries the same API. An offline draft is re-evaluated the moment it is uploaded. An overage does not generate a new number. This rule cuts short the offline heroics narrative.
Business benefits
A closed deal is a risk discovered after the goods have left.
| Instant | When there is no limit | By account and limit |
|---|---|---|
| Order opening | Goods are issued first, reviewed later | Threshold keeps in draft |
| Goods in transit | Not considered to consume the limit | Layer risk location |
| Overdue | Reminder e-mail | New order rule |
| Exception | Verbal "open" | Traced proxy |
| Collection | “Funds in transit” | Record thought limit is lifted |
| Field | Balance not visible | Same record, same lock |
Technical approach
The threshold is not a scoring model.
The technical core consists of risk layers and order-moment locking. A scoring model is not present in every project and is not promised. Your reality of balance, maturity, and collateral is the governing rule. No specific risk-engine product is imposed.
Concurrent basket control prevents the same account from being consumed by two orders simultaneously. This is a design rule, not a commitment to any specific database. Infrastructure is discussed according to client and order volume.
The draft lifetime must not be locked to infinity. When the period expires, the reservation and risk are rolled back or a warning is raised. A stale draft produces false data in both inventory and the account ledger. The expiry period is recorded at discovery.
Authorization is scoped to the account segment. A representative cannot navigate to an adjacent account's risk. The opening permission is a separate role. Another account cannot be opened via URL. The log retains who opened the record and for what reason.
Rounding and currency distort the balance. An exchange rate is not a footnote. If the company segment becomes mixed up, the limit erodes. During discovery, Shopsoft does not accept without documentation which balance belongs to which company.
The reminder queue is not a rule. An overdue item changes the status of a new order. If sending an e-mail is mistaken for limit management, goods will still be released. The engine carries the lock, not the e-mail.
Security, scale, governance
Risk exposure is not visible to everyone.
Balances and collateral are trade secrets. Access is governed by permissions. A dealer cannot view a neighbouring dealer's open account. A representative does not browse the entire network by default. Hiding menu items does not prevent data leakage.
The opening audit trail cannot be deleted. Personal and commercial data are handled in accordance with KVKK discipline; document numbers are not fabricated. ISO certification is not stated unless confirmed. No claims are made regarding scores or credit bureaus.
Scale is concurrent basket and season ordering. Campaign-day thresholds must not cause bottlenecks. The dead-draft limit must not lock the system. The duration rule is rewritten from scratch.
Shopsoft is headquartered in Istanbul. In the global ledger, language, currency, and payment terms are held at the header level. There are no confidential case studies or penetration-testing commitments. Backup frequency is determined by project requirements.
The section of a departing finance officer or representative is closed. A shared password is the leakage point of neighbouring risk. A role is bound to a function. This rule does not steal the SSO product; it is the authorisation reality of the account record.
When a new company is added, the account record multiplies; the order identifier does not multiply. A limit cannot dissolve without a section. This page does not target multi-company architecture as its primary subject; it describes the cost of cross-contamination.

Common mistakes
Locking every order or not locking any at all.
The first mistake is reading the balance at month end. The event is already over. The second mistake is blocking every line. It breaks the field rule. The third mistake is blocking nothing at all. Finance collapses.
The fourth mistake is treating the limit as a single figure. Goods in transit remain invisible. The fifth mistake is releasing an order on the basis of 'money is on its way'. The sixth mistake is treating a CRM note as a credit limit. The seventh mistake is confusing a price exception with a risk exception.
The eighth error is loading an offline order later without sufficient balance. The ninth error is an undefined open account for a new current account holder. The tenth error is promising a scoring model without establishing the balance tier. This page does not sell scores.
Scope of this page
The risk moment is described; score and payment are not stolen.
This page describes current-account and limit management as a risk record captured at the moment an order is placed. The B2B software is the backbone, the pricing engine generates the amount, the mobile surface is the face of the field, payment collection falls into place, and automation carries the approval. The connection is visible here; it does not deepen into a primary objective.
A balance report is not a limit. Once goods have left, a lock is not a lock. When layers dissolve into a single cell, the fiction that 'a limit exists' lives on. Shopsoft requires, during discovery, one over-limit order and one document showing a 'lock applied after goods have already left'. Without that narrative, no rule is written.
The package and pricing CTA is not published. Discovery is free. TR is published; EN and AR remain noindex. Internal links are not broken by placeholder pages. Images are sourced from the existing asset pool.
This record is for networks with open accounts, payment terms, and field orders. Users looking for a credit scoring product, a collections storefront, or actual inventory should navigate to the relevant page. Shopsoft looks at the current lock-in moment during discovery. The consultation is free; there is no package schedule.
Risk is read from the backbone. B2B software carries the record. Pricing calculates the amount. Mobile displays the same balance. API connects the ERP close. Inventory verifies goods in transit. The order carries the draft. CRM keeps the note. Automation executes the threshold. Intentions do not become mixed.
The reader must distinguish: the report is not the lock. The promise is not the guarantee. If every line awaits a human, the sale stops. If there is no human at all, risk escapes. Shopsoft draws these thresholds with your document. Discovery is free of charge. EN and AR remain noindex.
The final question is here. Does the risk appear at the moment of order, or after shipment? Does goods-in-transit consume the limit? Is the opening recorded in the log, or handled by phone? Does the mobile application read the same balance? Answers must exist in the record, not in an end-of-month spreadsheet. Shopsoft Discovery plays with these locks alongside your overlimit order.
Valid since 2004, with 700+ agency infrastructure and Istanbul headquarters. Content is not written without ISO approval. The CTA is Request a Meeting. There is no demo or pricing. Response is provided within an average of 24 hours during business hours. One overlimit order and one delay document initiates a discovery.
The limit cuts at the moment of order. Tiers remain separate. The exception leaves a trace. The collection opens when it hits the ledger. If these four statements do not hold, you have a balance report on your hands — not receivables and credit limit management.
Trust and references
A claim without documentation doesn't hold water.
Established in 2004, with 700+ agency infrastructure; Istanbul headquarters applies. Nothing is committed to writing without ISO approval. Logos may be used; confidential balance and collateral tables are not published.
Discovery is free of charge. There are no packages. During the consultation, one overrun order, one overdue item, and one 'lock after goods have left' scenario are discussed.
The required documents are concrete: an open account, a protest or delay, an exception email. Shopsoft does not mention competitor names. The decision is whether the risk was visible before shipment.
FAQ / AI answer blocks
Clear answers about current account and limit management.
What is account receivable and credit limit management?
The open account is the record at which the balance, payment terms, risk, and collections are cut off at the moment of order. Shopsoft sets this up not as a balance report but as a lock.
Is the ERP account balance not sufficient?
The balance can hold. On most networks, orders go through without consulting that balance. Management connects the moment and the layers; it is not an end-of-month report.
Is it a credit scoring system?
No. No scoring model is promised. Your actual balance, maturity, and collateral reality is the rule.
Does every order get halted?
No. There are threshold states: warning, draft hold, and absolute stop. Sales halt only when every line item is awaiting human review.
Does the collection limit open immediately?
It opens when the record drops. "Money in transit" is not a guarantee.
Is the discovery call paid?
It is free of charge. Responses are typically provided within 24 hours during business hours.
Is there a goods-in-transit limit?
There should be. If it melts in a single cell, the 'there is a limit' claim falls apart. Partial shipments are included in the risk.
Can the field representative open an order while offline?
They can open a draft. The limit is re-evaluated at the moment of upload. An overrun does not pass silently, and no duplicate record is created.
Does it unlock the discount limit?
It should not. A price exception and a risk exception are separate things. If they are conflated, "let's give a discount just to get rid of them" becomes a second rule.
