Revolving Credit Facility — Customer Drawdown
A corporate customer draws down on an approved revolving credit facility.
| Account Name | Type | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revolving Credit Loan Receivable | Asset (+) | 500,000.00 | - |
| Cash / Customer Operating Account | Asset (−) | - | 500,000.00 |
💡 Accountant's Note
A revolving credit facility allows multiple drawdowns up to an approved limit. Each drawdown increases the loan receivable. Unlike a term loan, the borrower can repay and redraw. The undrawn portion is an off-balance sheet commitment.
Practitioner & Systems Framework
💻 ERP Architecture
In SAP CML, revolving facilities are set up with a limit contract. Each drawdown reduces the available limit and creates a utilization record. In Oracle FLEXCUBE, the CL module tracks the outstanding balance vs. sanctioned limit. Commitment fee accrues on the undrawn portion and is handled separately.
⚠️ Audit Flags
Auditors check that drawdowns do not exceed the approved credit limit. Undrawn commitments must be captured in off-balance sheet schedules and factored into CBJ capital adequacy calculations (credit conversion factors apply). Expired unrenewed facilities used for drawdowns are a major audit finding.
📄 Required Documentation
Facility agreement with revolving terms, drawdown request from borrower (SWIFT MT101 or letter), available limit confirmation, and settlement confirmation.
