Effectively Ending Commission Contracts
Use
Commission contracts that are legally ended must still be effectively valid in the system so that any existing commission entitlements can be disbursed or liability scenarios settled.
When the prerequisites for the effective validity of contracts are no longer met, you can effectively end these contracts. You have the following option:
Effectively ending commission contracts manually
Effectively ending commission contracts automatically
You can also define your own system checks.
Integration
Contracts can be archived once they have been effectively ended.
Archiving of old data frees up the database and considerably improves system performance.
You can schedule the effective ending of commission contracts and have them flagged for archiving as a low-priority background job.
Prerequisites
The commission contracts are legally ended.
You have made the necessary settings in the Implementation Guide (IMG) under
