Procedure

Use the input help (F4) to select the appropriate change reason.
Versioning attributes: You can change the
effectively valid from
field, which is defaulted with the current date, and the
effectively valid to
field.
Version template: The system uses the corresponding contract versions in the standard system as a value template. These versions are valid at the
effectively valid from
time spot. However, you can specify a different contract version for the value template if required.
Assign the commission contract to a standard commission contract.
By entering a standard contract number, you assign each commission contract to a standard commission contract. If you need to, search for the number using the input help (F4). In the input help you can display standard contracts depending on, for instance, the contract type selected.
If you do not wish to make an assignment, leave the entry field blank. The old standard contract number is adopted.
You can only enter one standard contract number that is valid at the time you make the entry. The standard contract number also defines the contract type (such as
full-time employee
,
agent
, and so on). This information is displayed to you when you enter the standard contract number.
Once you have assigned a commission contract to a standard commission contract, the system also checks whether the assignment of the business partner type and the desired commission contract type is permitted.

The standard contract number that has been selected determines various things, including the content of the other screens.
