Purpose

Base remuneration controls the remuneration of all activities for the current commission case, for the participants that receive their own remuneration. Led participants that receive a share of this remuneration from the leading participant (result value distribution) are not remunerated. The remuneration is now calculated to 100%, independent of the participation share and difference commission.

Prerequisites

You have made Customizing entries for Agreements for Performance-Related Remuneration .

All information for the commission case and the document data created up to that point (document header, evaluation) is required for base remuneration.

Process Flow

All available participations are first determined from the participation information for the commission case. In addition to this, every participation is remunerated.

The base remuneration process consists of the following steps (steps 1-3 are used for fixing commission ):

1.   Participation determination

All associated participations are determined and returned for the commission case entered.

2.   Remuneration for participation

Independent of the participation role category and role, all participants that are entitled to their own remuneration are determined on the basis of all commission case and document information (participant without result value distribution). The determined remunerations are returned when all base participants are processed.

2.1 Remuneration for participation

Out of all the participants for a commission case (direct and indirect), those that belong to the participation and that have not agreed any result value distribution are selected.

2.2Determining base participants

The activities that are assigned to the participation are determined (DetermineActivities method) from the commission case activities. If no activities are found or if all activities have been processed, the determined remunerations are returned.

3. Determining activities

All associated activities are determined and returned on the basis of the commission case number and the participation number.

4. Remunerating activities

When determining the remuneration type for the commission contract, the remuneration agreements (remuneration types) for the participant that are the basis of the activity are also determined.

Multiple remuneration types for an activity can be found for every participant. Only one remuneration type for a certain payment group can be determined for an activity. If no remuneration type is found, a note is issued and the remuneration line is still created.

4.1Determining remuneration types

In order to determine the remuneration type, the remuneration agreement for performance-related remunerations for the standard commission account must be determined using the commission contract for the participant. The combination number with which the corresponding remuneration type(s) can be determined is stored in the standard remuneration agreement.

4.2Creating the remuneration

A remuneration is created for every remuneration type that was determined for an activity and a participant.

The remuneration contains all relevant information for the remuneration type, the remunerated activity and the participant.

The evaluation is determined for the evaluation type referred to the in the remuneration type as the base evaluation type, and for the evaluation of the object for which the remuneration type was found. If the evaluation type or evaluation are missing, this causes an error. The evaluation result category parameter in the remuneration type controls whether the remuneration base value is taken from the absolute value or the difference value.

The remunerating object type can be specified for the remuneration type, as well as the base evaluation type. The object ID of the object relevant for this remuneration is determined using the object hierarchy. If the remuneration object is not found, this causes an error.

If the participant to be remunerated is an indirect participant that derives its entitlement from the entitlement of another participant, the remuneration shares (commission and production) are determined and transferred to the remuneration line, dependent on the remuneration type for the correct share.

The liability rule relevant to remuneration in the liability agreement for the standard contract determines whether and to what extent the agent is liable for remuneration. If no liability rule is found, the remuneration is not seen as liable. Otherwise the end of liability is determined from the liability rule and the liability value is determined.

As a basis for this, you can choose between difference and absolute valuation. The difference valuation is defaulted in the standard delivery.

When calculating the base remuneration amount, one or more remuneration detail lines are returned. The calculated value for every line is cumulated in the appropriate amount fields, dependent on the upgrade category.

Checks are also made for whether a case-related correction was entered for the participant for this remuneration type, and whether this was executed if necessary. After this step, the amount fields are updated in the remuneration line.

4.3Determining the base evaluation

The correct evaluation line is determined on the basis of the base evaluation type for the remuneration and the object for which the remuneration type is determined.

4.4 Determining remuneration types

In order to determine the remuneration object, the object hierarchy is traced upward from the transferred object. The ID for the first object found in the desired category is returned.

4.5Determining the direct share

The entitlement-based direct participant is determined for the participant for which a remuneration is pending. Its participation shares (commission and production) are returned.

4.6 Determining liability rules

Which liability rule is to be applied for which remuneration is determined by using the liability agreement for the standard commission contract. As for the remuneration types, a determination is activated here which is used to determine a liability rule, dependent on characteristics that can be freely selected. There can be a maximum of one liability rule for each remuneration.

4.7 Calculation of end date of liability

An appropriate determination method that returns the end date for the liability can be specified for every liability rule, using a logical service.

4.8 Remuneration basis (detail)

The first detailed step for fixing the remuneration amount for new remunerations.

4.9 Calculating the base remuneration

The actual remuneration amount is calculated using a logical service, that can be set according to the remuneration type .The link to SD condition technology is supported in the commission system as standard. The condition set for the remuneration type is determined on the basis of the entered characteristics (tariffs, role and so on). The result amount is calculated on the basis of the set calculation procedure.

The retained amount is entered in the detail line. The process step and result type for the detail line are entered from the standard in the current version. Only one detail line is possible.

4.10 Determining the update category

The entered update category is determined on the basis of the process step, result type and offsetting type. The returned update category is entered in the detail line. This is then returned to the remuneration basis (detail) once again.

4.11 Determining the special correction remuneration

An available case-related correction is determined from the special remunerations for the commission case, on the basis of the participant and the remuneration type.

4.12 Remuneration for the corrections (detail)

The process step and result type for the detail line are entered from the standard in the current version. Only one detail line is possible. The update category is transferred from the base remuneration line and not redetermined.

4.13 Calculating the correction remuneration

A difference value is determined from the result of the base remuneration and the percentage value for the correction line, and delivered as a result. The retained amount is entered in the detail line.

Result

The remuneration was determined for all participants according to their participation.

The next process is the transfer of remunerations .
