Conditions in the Commission Contract
When a commission contract is created, the contract is assigned condition records from the standard contract.
You can define the condition records for the standard contract in Customizing: Incentive and Commission Management ® Basic and Master Data ® Standard Commission Contract ®Remuneration Agreements ® Agreement for Activity-Dependent Remuneration ® Standard Agreement for Performance-Related Remuneration.
Each standard contract can contain different standard individual conditions. If a commission contract partner has different conditions from the standard, these can be changed individually by choosing Commission Contract ® Change on the tab page Performance-Related Remuneration.
Individual Conditions
In the commission contract, individual conditions are displayed on the tab page Performance-related remuneration using an overview tree.
You can assign condition records for different condition types by using the access sequence.
The condition records to be assigned can depend on different characteristics. Characteristics are assigned using calculation procedure Customizing.
You can change the field sequence in which the characteristics are to be sorted by going to Customizing and choosing Incentive and Commission Management ® Basic and Master Data ® Commission Contract ®Contract Elements ® Change Sort Order of Remuneration Criteria.
If you double click on a row in the overview tree, a dialog box is displayed on the screen. In this window you will see the selection criteria, the standard commission rates and their validity periods. You can now replace the standard commission rates with individual ones.
Standard Individual Conditions
Standard individual conditions are displayed on the Standard Agreement for Performance-Related Remuneration view. The values shown are for information purposes only, and cannot be changed.
