Processing Agreements for Settlement Scheduling 

Use

You use scheduling rules to distribute the remuneration in an individual contract on the basis of settlement schedules. The system creates a settlement schedule for each remuneration line.

Settlement schedules can be changed in rescheduling and therefore do not have document character. The settlement schedule run generates settlement items with documents out of the settlement schedule items.

 

Prerequisites

You have made the following settings in the Implementation Guide (IMG), transaction CACSIMG:

●     Actual Commission
Incentive and Commission Management  -> Basic and Master Data  -> Standard Commission Contract  -> Agreement for Settlement Release

●     Remuneration Scheduling
Incentive and Commission Management ® Basic and Master Data  ® Standard Commission Contract ® Agreement for Remuneration Scheduling

●     Logical Services of OTC 27
Incentive and Commission Management -> Tools ->Logical Service: Edit Tools

●     Determination (Authorization Object 27)

 

If the commission agreed on in the contract is to be disbursed as actual commission, you also have to select release rules as well as scheduling rules.

Procedure

In the commission contract, select the tab page Settlement Scheduling ® Scheduling Rules.

       1.      In the SchedRu field, choose input help (F4) to select a scheduling rule and assign it an identification number under No.SchedAgr.

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

       3.      If you define more than one scheduling rule, assign a priority to each rule (Prio field).
 
If more than one rule is defined, the system may find more than one rule in the determination process. By prioritizing the assigned rules, you can determine which rule the system uses in this case.
The system recognizes the rule with the highest number as having the highest priority.
 
If the system finds three rules that are assigned priority 1, 2 and 3 respectively, the system recognizes the rule with priority 3 as the highest priority.

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

If you delete rules from an existing scheduling agreement, restrict the validity or change their priority, the system issues a warning when checking the entries and before saving if the change has an effect on existing settlement schedules that have not yet been converted to payments.
