Credit Application and Approval
Smart process "Credit Application" with stages: Submitted → Under Review → Approved/Rejected. Loan amount determined by customer credit history, company size, payment history. Approval triggers notification to finance department.
Integration with Sales
When customer selects credit payment method, create credit account record. Deduct purchase amount from credit limit. Track credit utilization.
