Selecting Release Rules for Actual Commission 

Use

You use the payment type agreements assigned to the standard contract as a basis for deciding whether remuneration is disbursed as actual commission. Settlement scheduling is required if remuneration is to be disbursed as actual commission. In this case, scheduling rules have to be determined in the commission contract.

 

When you save a commission contract for which actual commission is specified, the system checks whether scheduling rules have been defined. If no rules are defined, you receive an error message. The contract cannot be saved actively and is set to pending.

The actual commission function lets you specify particular events that have to be met before documents are passed on to the disbursement system (such as a payment notification for a particular business transaction). For each settlement schedule item you can define a separate release rule that determines the fulfillment level required for release. When this level is reached, the system receives a signal that the corresponding settlement schedule item can be passed on for disbursement.

A settlement schedule item can be released for disbursement before the fulfillment level of 100% is reached provided that a release rule to this effect has been defined (such as Release at 90%).

Prerequisites

You have defined rules for settlement scheduling in the commission contract in the previous step.

Procedure

Select the tab page Settlement Scheduling ® Release Rules.

 

       1.      In the RelRule field, select a release rule and assign it an identification number under No.SchedAgr.

       2.      Define the validity period for the release rule (StValSchAg and EnValS fields).

       3.      If you define more than one release rule, assign a priority to each rule. The system recognizes the rule with the highest number as having the highest priority.

       4.      Enter a name for the scheduling rule(s).

 

Result

Actual commission will be carried out.
