Total Commitment 

Definition

Business object  which, as a framework, allows you to display objects linked to the business partner, such as accounts and contracts, with a restricted amount of master data and flow data.

Use

You use the Total Commitment framework in order to display a brief and clear compilation of all the contracts/accounts for one or more business partners that exist in a relationship with one another within the Business Partner.

The Total Commitment function is conceived for employees working in the operational business area of a bank, who would like to gain an overview of the business partner’s contracts and customer relationships, such as:

·        The front office employee or call center agent, who would like to see what products the customer uses before offering that customer financial advice

·        The back office employee or account manager, who would like to gain an overview of the account balances

You can configure Total Commitment flexibly in accordance with your requirements, and enhance it with your own fields.
