Remuneration Clearing Rule

Definition

The most important description element for remuneration clearing: Describes the rules that control remuneration clearing.

Use

A remuneration clearing rule describes

Which individual remunerations are affected by the rule.
See also: Selection Rule

Which group characteristics are used to divide up these individual remunerations, meaning the groups in which they are assigned to the calculation service.
See also: Grouping Rule

How the remuneration clearing is to be calculated, referring to the groups.
See also: Calculation Rule

The assigned remuneration clearing rules are determined for a given remuneration clearing agreement. These are made available in the specified sequence. If no rule is found, a note is issued. A note is also issued if multiple rules that have been determined have the same sequence number.

For all changes, especially retroactive changes, subsequent correction of the clearing items created by the rule is not automatic.

The remuneration clearing rule is maintained in Customizing and is subordinate to period management.

Structure

A remuneration clearing rule consists of the following three rules:

Rule	Use	Info
Selection rule	Determining the partial quantity. If no selection rule is specified for the remuneration clearing rule, all records are regarded as selected.	Both are optional _{-{}-Both rules are determined independently of the clearing rule and can therefore be reused in different contexts}
Grouping rule	Determining the grouping. If no grouping rule is specified, all the selected individual remunerations are regarded as a group. In this case, the calculation rule can only be assigned directly.
Calculation rule	Description of the calculation procedure that is to be applied to one or all of the groups previously constructed.	As these procedures are customer-specific, no specific calculation procedure is offered in Incentives and Commission Management.

The following overview makes it clear which combination options are possible between the rules (YES = can be combined with the other objects marked with YES in the same line) and the effect that each combination has:

Sel. Rule	Grp. Rule	Combination ID	Calc.Rule	Description of the remuneration clearing rules that occurred
YES	YES	NO	YES	A partial quantity is selected from the input records. These records are split into multiple groups and every one of these groups is transferred to the calculation procedure. The calculation procedure is the same for every group.
YES	YES	YES	NO	A partial quantity is selected from the input records. These records are split into multiple groups. A calculation rule is determined for every group using the determination procedure.
NO	YES	NO	YES	All input records are split according to the grouping characteristics and all the groups are individually transferred to calculation.
NO	YES	YES	NO	All input records are split according to the grouping characteristics and the calculation procedure is determined and executed for each group individually.
NO	NO	NO	YES	Calculation takes place for all input records.
YES	NO	NO	YES	The desired partial quantity is selected from the input. The result is completely transferred to calculation.
Y/N	Y/N	NO	NO	A remuneration clearing rule is not valid without calculation.
