With the functional improvements in the ELT process, you can do the following:
Handle more complex business scenarios
Reduce the manual effort and automate the activities involved in the ELT process
The ELT process is enhanced with the following features:
During the reversal of a commission case, the system checks if any ELT documents are posted for this commission case. If any ELT documents exist for a commission case, these documents are automatically reversed based on the settings in the Configure Automatic Deactivation of ELT Documents Customizing activity. In this Customizing activity, you can specify the set of values for which the system triggers the automatic deactivation of ELT documents.
You can transfer reversal postings during the ELT process. In a Customizing activity, you can specify the set of values for which the system transfers reversal postings. Note that if settlement scheduling is present, you cannot transfer the results of reversal postings.
You can transfer negative entitlements during the ELT process. In a Customizing activity, you can specify the set of values for which the system transfers negative entitlements.
The system can automatically create and execute ELT worklists out of a Microsoft Excel file that contains information about the business objects that are transferred from the previous contract to the new contract. This feature is useful if you use an external portfolio assignment solution instead of the Portfolio Assignment (PFO) solution provided by SAP.
For more information, see Entitlement and Liability Transfer.
You can transfer reversal postings to the universal successor. During the reversal of a commission case, the system retrieves the contract number of the universal successor by using a Business Add-In (BAdI). The reversal document, which is created during the commission case reversal, is updated with the contract number of the universal successor.
