How to Set a Visual Indicator for Customer Over Credit Limit

Do you have credit limits set up for your customers in GP? If so, you can easily see if a customer is over their credit limit by enabling the display icon. This feature was added in GP 2015 R2.
To set up this feature go to Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Setup > Sales > Receivables and go to the Options section and select the checkboxes for Display Over Credit Icon and Warn if Customer Over Credit.
