The configuration "New invoice amount plus total outstanding amount can exceed the customer's credit limit" is to decide how the credit limit checking should work.
For example : Customer A's credit limit = Rm100, current outstanding = Rm90 and he wants make a purchase worth Rm20
1. Configuration is enabled :
- if user has permission : invoice can be created
- if user does not have permission : invoice can still be created. But if user tries to create another invoice after this one, then he/she will not be able to do so until outstanding is reduced / credit limit is increased
2. Configuration is disabled :
- if user has permission : invoice can be created
- if user does not have permission : invoice cannot be created
