Exposure against limit, pay history and growth, for every account.
The problem, as it happens in Paladin.
A limit is set the day the account opens, from the application and a gut feel, and then it sits. Three years on, a framer is running twice the volume, pays on Net 30 without fail, and bumps the limit every month, so the counter calls the credit desk and the limit goes up on the phone. The customer account in Paladin says whatever was last typed into it.
The other direction nobody tracks. The account whose balance has crept to three times what it was, paying slower every quarter, still has the limit it got when it was small. The Accounts Receivable aging shows the balance. It doesn’t show that the exposure has quietly outgrown the policy, and nobody reviews limits until something is already past due.
How it works.
- 1
Exposure against limit, nightly
Every account’s open balance, orders released but not yet invoiced where Paladin has them, and the limit on the customer account, read each night. Pay history and twelve months of volume sit beside it.
- 2
A recommendation under your policy
Raise, hold or lower, with the reason in your policy’s words: months on terms, days to pay, utilisation, growth. The numbers decide who gets reviewed; a model only writes the explanation.
- 3
Your credit manager approves or holds
The desk opens on accounts due a review, largest exposure first. Approve the new limit, change the figure, or hold and set a date to look again. Every decision is recorded with who and why.

The new limit is keyed into Paladin
An approved limit goes back as keyed by your team in Paladin from what Lunica prepared. Until a person keys it, Paladin keeps the old one, and the review stays open on the desk.
How it connects to Paladin.
Lunica reads the customer account, open items and sales history through Paladin’s database, under an account that can only read, confirmed at onboarding, nightly: the limit as Paladin has it, the open balance, orders released but not yet invoiced where Paladin carries them, and twelve months of invoices and payments. Terms are read per account, so an account on Net 30 EOM is judged on Net 30 EOM, not on a flat thirty.
Nothing is written to Paladin by Lunica and nothing is sent on its own. An approved limit goes back as keyed by your team in Paladin from what Lunica prepared, and the review shows who keyed it and when. Lunica runs on one Windows server inside your network, beside the Paladin server; the recommendation and the decision live there, not in Paladin.
What a week looks like.
- Every account with exposure past its limit is on the desk by morning.
- Accounts that have earned a higher limit come up before the counter calls.
- Each recommendation says why, in your policy’s words.
- Every limit change has a name, a date and a reason behind it.
Questions
Does Lunica change limits in Paladin?
No. It recommends. Your credit manager approves, and the new limit goes back as keyed by your team in Paladin from what Lunica prepared. Until then Paladin keeps the old one.
Where does the policy come from?
From you. Your credit policy is written down in plain English as a spec your admins edit, with history and revert. Each recommendation cites the lines it used.
What counts as exposure?
Open balance plus orders released and not yet invoiced where Paladin has them. The figures are read from Paladin each night and never stored.
Does it lower limits too?
It can recommend one. Lowering is a decision for a person, and nothing changes on the customer account until someone keys it.
Can we exclude house accounts?
Yes, by rule. House accounts, cash accounts and anything you name are left alone.
How often is an account reviewed?
Exposure is checked nightly. A full review comes up on the schedule your policy sets, when exposure crosses the limit, or when a person asks for one.
Does it need a server?
Lunica runs on one Windows server inside your network, beside the Paladin server, set up and maintained by Lunica. It reads Paladin through Paladin’s database, under an account that can only read, confirmed at onboarding. There is no inbound connection from outside your network.
What does Lunica read in Paladin?
The customer account, open items and terms, purchase orders and receipts, the inventory record, quotes and order history, as each workflow needs them. Read-only, and only the rows a task is about.
Can it post to Paladin?
Nothing lands in Paladin without a person. What belongs in Paladin goes back as keyed by your team in Paladin from what Lunica prepared.
What about our documents?
Invoice copies and scans keep living in Paladin’s invoice history. Lunica reads them when a workflow needs one and never writes to them.
