Creating Third-Party Programs 
Procedure
Note
Note that you cannot change or delete the outline agreement once you have assigned it to a financing contract.
To create a third-party program, choose Leasing Documents, then Create and Outline Agreement. You then select the transaction type Promo.AgreemtProgram.
Save the document.
You enter the following information at item level:
Determination criteria: You can enter determination criteria to specify the business partners or products to which a third-party program applies. If this data is available in a financing contract, the system automatically searches the corresponding third-party program. You select a third-party program and the system automatically transfers the data to the financing contract.
NoteIf you do not enter any determination criteria, the third-party program applies to all financing contracts.
End of the note.You can also enter determination criteria to specify that the agreement does not apply to certain groups of products or business partners. For example, you can specify that an outline agreement applies to all cars of a certain make but exclude the most recent model of this make.
You make the following settings under Third-Party Business Relationships:
You enter the promotion type (subsidy/participation, residual value guarantee, or recourse). To define special attributes, you also enter the ID. In the case of a subsidy or participation, this is either the financing view or a user-defined ID entered in Customizing (Define Attributes for Residual Value Guarantees or Define Attributes for Recourse).
You can enter a business partner and the corresponding business partner functions. You use this business partner to handle the payments or receivables for the agreement.
So that the system can settle the payments or receivables for an outline agreement in Accounting, you select a business agreement type. You then enter the business agreement in the financing contract.
You can exclude financing views. This is recommended if, for example, you do not want participation B to appear alongside subsidy A in a financing contract.
If the validity start date and term of the third-party program does not apply to the entire contract term of a financing, you can define a rule for the validity start date and enter a term. For example, by entering a different validity period you can specify that a subsidy is valid only in the first year of the financing term.
You can specify the financial scope of the third-party program. Depending on the type of agreement, this is either a fixed amount or a percentage of the overall financing.
You then enter the following information at document header level:
Under Price Information, you enter the currency.
Under Dates, you enter the validity start and end date of the third-party program. The system needs this data for outline agreement determination.
Under Status, you enter the status Released. This means that the system proposes the outline agreement when you create financing contracts.
Save the document.
