Combined Settlement
Business object in Master Contract Management (FS-MCM)
that determines the charges that are calculated and posted periodically for accounts participating in master contracts. Depending on the feature, this business object also determines the interest.
Combined settlements are carried out at regular intervals for the master contract settlements in the context of the periodic tasks. You can set an appropriate settlement frequency (time periods) for all master contracts of a product, or individually for a master contract.
Note
Compensation supports multi-level master contract hierarchies. This means that you can add any number of participating accounts or other master contracts as participants to a master contract.
For more information, see Editing Contract Relationships for Compensation.
Bundle pricing calculation does not support multi-level master contract hierarchies. For more information, see Editing Contract Relationships for Bundle Pricing Calculation.
Structure
There are two forms of combined settlement that mutually exclude each other. They are represented as attributes in the product, where you can choose one of them:
You can execute a combined settlement for master contracts with feature 0403, compensation, that compensates the charges and interest of the participant contracts, thus optimizing them on behalf of the business partner.
You can execute a combined settlement for master contracts with feature 0303, bundle pricing calculation. This allows you to offer preferential prices for charges under certain circumstances.
You make the settings for the combined settlement in master contract processing on the combined settlement tab page.
You use the same transaction and reports for executing and processing a combined settlement for both features.
