Credit is standard practice, tracking it usually isn't
Extending 30, 45, or 60-day payment terms to corporate clients is normal in B2B travel — the client expects it, and refusing credit terms outright can cost you the account before the relationship even starts. What's less standard is actually tracking exposure against those terms in real time, rather than discovering an overdue balance weeks after the fact.
Where the exposure hides
Without a live view of outstanding balances per account, it's easy to keep approving new bookings for a client that's already over their credit limit or overdue on a previous invoice — because nobody checked before saying yes to the next booking.
Making credit control a system guardrail
The fix is attaching credit limits and payment terms to the account itself, so overdue exposure is visible automatically before a new booking is approved — a system-level check rather than something dependent on a staff member remembering to look it up.
How Muhasib supports credit control
Credit limits and payment terms are configured per B2B account in Muhasib, and overdue exposure surfaces automatically — credit control as a guardrail, not a manual audit.
