" Calculate Credit Horizon Date ( Credit limit )
CALL FUNCTION 'SD_CREDIT_HORIZON_DATE'
          EXPORTING
            i_kkber         = lv_kkber
            i_ctlpc         = lv_ctlpc
            i_horizon_exist = 'X'
          IMPORTING
            e_horizon_date  = lv_horda.

" If no Credit Horizon Date found, set it to max date        
IF lv_horda IS INITIAL.
     lv_horda = '99991231'.
ENDIF.

This SCN Wiki page details the mechanism of Credit Horizon Date calculation. It is well written and step by step detailed.

        horizon_date       = lv_horda
        kkber              = lv_kkber
        knkli              = IV_KUNNR
      IMPORTING
        open_delivery      = lv_open_deliv
