No log exists for assignment of financial documents

What causes this issue?

You tried to call up the 'Financial documents log' function in document
processing.
However a log does not exist for assigning financial documents to this
document or document item.

System Response

The system issues a message.


&NOTE&
This log is automatically set up and updated as soon as the system has
determined the credit and risk management status.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

The log might not be displayed because of the following reasons:
The document control has been configured for this combination of credit
control area, customer risk class and document credit group so that the
system runs a credit check when you save the document, not when you
enter item or header data.
To see the log, you need to activate the item check in the IMG for
Credit Management for this combination of credit control area, customer
risk class and document credit group.
The necessary credit management data has not been maintained for this
partner.
