Creating Partnerships 

Use

If several commission contracts are to participate in the same commission case, you can create partnerships and register these with the commission case.

Prerequisites

·        You have carried out all the steps required for creating a commission application.

·        You have selected packages CACS00 and CACS42 (see Packages in Incentive and Commission Management). Package CACS42 contains the partnership function. No additional functions are contained in other packages.

·        In Customizing for Incentive and Commission Management  you have configured an appropriate partnership type that lets you create a partnership.

·        You have already created the commission contracts that are to be included in the partnership.

Activities

...

       1.      Create one or more business partner for the group contract.

       2.      Create a group contract and the corresponding assignments for it.

Make sure that you select the correct standard commission contract. The indicator that identifies the contract as a group contract must be set for the underlying contract type.

       3.      In the SAP Easy Access menu choose Incentive and Commission Management ® Master Data ® Contract Bundle and create a partnership.  Selecting the time stamp is the same as creating a normal contract bundle.

       4.      Select a partnership type.

       5.      Enter the languages, the date for the start and, if appropriate, end (legal validity) of the partnership.

       6.      Add the commission contracts that are to be assigned to the partnership.

Sequence numbers that have already been assigned cannot be assigned again.

       7.      Specify the group contract that was previously created.

       8.      Enter separation rules and termination rules, if appropriate.

       9.      Adjust the distribution ratios to match the partnership and partnership type.

For more information on distribution ratios in partnerships, see the documentation on partnerships in the Structure section under Participation of a Partnership in the Remuneration.
