Overview
Its is often done that multiple locations/branches of the same customer are created as different customers in SAP.
In such case the credit limits need to be maintained for only main customer and rest all the branch customers are needed to use this credit limits even if the sales are done using all the customers.
This can be achieved by assigning a customer as reference for credit control for several customers
