Definition

Description of the criteria and features for selecting the relevant remuneration lines. The characteristic features required for the selection must be specified and defined in Customizing for every selection criterion: Commission ® Commission Contract ® Remuneration Clearing Agreement ® Selection Rules.

Use

Used to determine and group remunerations:

A selection rule is assigned for determining a partial quantity.

The selection rule is executed for each individual remuneration (which means that a check is made to see whether the individual remuneration fulfills the selection requirements or not) and this determines a selection characteristic, dependent on the content of the selection criteria. If a remuneration line does not include a selection characteristic, it is excluded by the clearing rule.

Selection rule maintenance takes place in Customizing. The object is subordinate to period management.

Structure

The selection runs through two phases: Preselection and main selection.

Preselection

The criteria used to make checks in preselection are specified by SAP. To make selection on concrete key terms (commission case, business object) easier, completed selection indicators are included in the selection rule.

  • Commission case selection: Controls whether all commission cases (*) are to be selected, or just the current commission case (A). Only "A" is permitted in the current version.
  • Business object selection: As only one object can be contained in a commission case in the current release, the setting must always be "A".
  • Participation selection: All participants, or those that belong to an entitlement group (see commission case participation) can be selected to determine aggregate values, by selecting the participants for the clearing rules for the standard contract, although only one participant is processed. Participant selection is not permitted for global remuneration clearing rules.

Main selection

You can use the combination ID (that you define in Customizing) to define on a customer-specific level whether determination is triggered – using an interface – or whether a logical service you prepared is to be called up.

 

Integration

If a selection characteristic is not found for any input line, execution ceases for the entire remuneration clearing rule.
