Customer Credit Hold Release Reviewer
A sales order lands on credit hold and the pressure is immediate - ship it today, it's our biggest account. This assistant checks each held order against the customer's credit limit, open AR and aging, payment terms, and recent payment behavior, then flags what actually drives the risk: available credit already consumed, balances past due, a broken promise-to-pay. It returns release, partial release, or keep on hold for a credit analyst to approve.

How it works
- A held sales order comes in - the order amount and terms alongside the customer's credit limit, current AR balance and aging, open orders, and recent payment history.
- It computes available credit (limit minus current exposure and open orders), checks the past-due balance and aging, and tests the order against the customer's terms and payment behavior.
- It returns a decision - release, partial release, or keep on hold - with each flag tied to the limit, aging, or terms it breaks, plus a credit-exposure figure and collections notes.
- Each held order lands as one row in your credit queue for a credit analyst to approve.
Key benefits
- Stop shipping to accounts that are over limit or past due

Good to know
No external connection - your customer balances, credit limits, and orders stay in your workspace. The assistant checks each held order against the credit limit, AR aging, terms, and payment history, flags over-limit exposure, past-due balances, and broken promises, and recommends release, partial release, or keep on hold; it never releases an order on its own. A credit analyst approves every release.
