You can assign the portfolio of an old commission participant to a new commission participant based on the following business scenarios:
Universal Succession
Time-Dependent Succession
If the portfolio assignment is based on universal succession, an agent takes over the portfolio of a previous agent, with all rights and obligations. If a business object associated with the transferred portfolio is changed and the effective date of change is a date prior to or after the date of portfolio assignment, the universal successor (the 'new' agent) is taken into account.
For the PFO solution to support universal succession, a new method SSWITCH_US is available.
