Object documentationData Values Profile for Confirmation

 

Grouping of data values (audience figures, sales volumes, unit sold), which are to be confirmed in the license usage confirmation.

 

License revenues from the license sales contracts are calculated on the basis of the actual data that you enter in the license usage confirmation and billing documents are prepared. When you assign a data value profile in the sales contract and enter confirmation values, you can only enter data values for a license sales contract item which correspond to the data values profile in this contract. When you do not assign a data values profile, you can enter confirmation values for any data value defined in Customizing.

Structure

Record the data values profile for a royalties-relevant item in the license sales contract for which confirmation data is to be entered.

You have made the Customizing settings required for data values and data values profiles for Customer Relationship Management by choosing Start of the navigation path Industry-Specific Solutions Next navigation step Media Next navigation step Intellectual Property Management Next navigation step Basic Functions Next navigation step Pricing Next navigation step Define Data Values and Maintain Data Values Profile End of the navigation path.

Once you have released the contract items and saved the contract, the system generates a confirmation automatically as a follow-up document.

You can record an optional Reminder on Open Confirmations action for any confirmation item in the license sales contract if you want to:

  • Define an automatic delay for confirmation of license data during the contract validity period for the item

  • Send a corresponding reminder mail to the licensee

For more information, see IPM-Specific Actions for License Contracts.

Example

The royalties agreements between the licensor and the licensee in a license sales contract, which contains the right to broadcast a specific film throughout Germany, are dependent on the Audience Figures and Gross Box Office Takings data values from cinemas.

Enter a data values profile in Customizing containing the Audience Figures and Gross Box Office Takings data values. Assign this data values profile to the corresponding royalties item in the license contract.
