Creating Sender Values for a Segment

Use

You control determination of sender values with sender rules. You can choose between the following sender rules:

Posted amounts
Fixed amounts
Fixed rates

When you select posted amounts, these are assessed/distributed to each sender value.

When you select fixed amounts, these are assessed/distributed independent of the sender amounts.

When you select fixed rates, you have to enter these for each sender and for each unit of the receiver tracing factor.
