Purpose

Liability analysis is triggered for every evaluation that refers to a negative value in the difference evaluation for the current commission case. Liability analysis is finished when all valuations are positive.

Prerequisites

The evaluations for a new commission case are the basis for liability remuneration.

Process flow

The liability remuneration process consists of two parts.

First, the valuations that are relevant for liability analysis are determined.

Secondly, the remuneration that is relevant fort these valuations is corrected.

The liability remuneration process consists of the following steps:

1. Determining the relevant remuneration reductions

All evaluations that refer to a negative valuation difference are selected from the evaluations for the current commission case.

2. Determining the valuation history

Next the relevant historical valuations and correction of the liable remuneration for each reduced valuation of the actual commission case is determined.The valuation history is run through in chronological reserve order in an iterative process until the current valuation difference is completely covered by the valuation differences of the historical valuations.

The remaining difference value is used for the iteration: The value is initially set to the (negative) current valuation difference before the first run. In each run, the valuation difference of the historical valuation currently under scrutiny is added to the remaining difference value. The iteration is complete when the remaining difference value is zero or positive.

If a historical valuation under scrutiny is based on another knowledge level from the current valuation as a result of the valuation type, the historic valuation is adjusted to the knowledge of the current valuation.

3. Determining the liable remuneration

The dependent remuneration is corrected while taking into account the remaining difference value and the historical valuation. All remunerations are determined that have to be corrected on account of the liability agreement. All remuneration lines are relevant that fulfill the following criteria:

The actual calculation of the liability remuneration is carried out for each liable remuneration found.

4. Calculating the remaining liability value

The remaining liability value of the liability remuneration documents the valuation reduction for which the remaining remuneration is now liable.

If the liable remuneration is a remuneration on the basis of a difference valuation, the original remuneration is liable initially at maximum for the corresponding original valuation difference that resulted in the remuneration. If this valuation difference is smaller than the remaining difference value, the remuneration is liable proportionately. A remuneration remains with a remaining liability value that is derived from the difference of the original remaining liability value and the remaining difference value.

For liable remunerations that were calculated on the basis of an absolute valuation, the liable valuation share is always that which exceeds the current absolute (reduced) valuation. In this case, the remaining liability share is set on the current valuation.

5. Calculating remuneration value

The remuneration value of the liability remuneration is also recalculated.

If the liable remuneration was calculated on the basis of the difference valuation, the remaining liability value is taken to be the remuneration value.

If the remuneration was based on the absolute valuation, the new remuneration value is derived from adding the deltas between the remaining liability value of the liability remuneration and the liable remuneration of the liable remuneration value.

Creating the remuneration line “liability remuneration”

Next, a corrected remuneration line is created for each liable remuneration. The remuneration line of the liable remuneration adopts the major attributes of the remuneration line of the liable remuneration. The remaining liability value and the remuneration value are taken from the calculations described above. The other fields for entitlement, disbursable entitlement, offsetting and liable entitlement are first initialized and, at a later stage, fed by the remuneration detail lines. These are generated in the calculation of the liability remuneration and use different result types for the “liability” process step to control the update of events. The update can be run on the basis of the settlement type.

The settlement type is determined on the basis of the activity of the current commission case. The settlement type of the activity that references the same subobject and that has the same activity group as the liable remuneration is used.

Recalling the disbursement (remuneration detail line)

You recall of the liable entitlement in the first detail line by creating a detail line with an inverted entitlement.

8. Calculating the new entitlement (remuneration detail line)

The entitlement of the remuneration is calculated proportionately to the changed remaining liability value. First the quotient is derived from the remaining liability value of the liable remuneration and the remaining liability value of the liability remuneration. Then this quotient and the entitlement of the liable remuneration are used to calculate the entitlement of the liability remuneration. The result of the calculation is stored in the remuneration detail line.

9. Calculating the new liable entitlement (remuneration detail line)

The liable entitlement is calculated in the same way as the new entitlement is calculated. The result is recorded in the remuneration detail line with another result type.

10. Calculating the earned entitlement (remuneration detail line)

The earned entitlement can be calculated with a method of the logical service. This method returns the absolute value that is considered to be earned, considering the whole entitlement. This value is expressed as a proportion of the liable remuneration share and is documented in the remuneration detail line.

11. Calculating the non-liable entitlement (remuneration detail line)

The difference value between the entitlement and the liable entitlement is considered to be the non-liable entitlement. As for the calculation of the earned entitlement, this entitlement is expressed as a proportion of the liable valuation share and is documented in the remuneration detail line.

12. Updating the calculation result

The calculation results documented in the remuneration detail lines are finally transferred to the remuneration line of the liability remuneration. The process step, the result type and the offsetting type are evaluated.

Result

The existing liable remunerations have been checked and possibly corrected by the liability remuneration.

The next process is the base remuneration.
