Glossary: Order rules
Credit limit
A credit limit is the maximum unpaid balance a seller allows one buyer to carry at a time. When a buyer on net terms reaches it, further orders wait until earlier invoices are paid. Sellers set it from the buyer's payment history and financial standing.
Example
A buyer with a $5,000 credit limit and $4,200 outstanding can place only $800 more in orders until an invoice is paid.
