Incentive & Commission hands on Customizing


Lets explore  ICM’s Customizing 

Master Data – Business Partners

Definition: Organization (firm, branch office), person or a group of persons or organizations in which your company has a business interest. Business Partner (BP) is central component of the SAP R/3 ICM Solution which is used in all applications. Business partners are created only once in the system. When a commission contract is created, it is given a unique assignment to a business partner with the role of commission contract partner.

▪Indirect participants can be determined by:
▪ Structure

Commission Contracts

The commission contract maps the relationship between company and commission contract partner or commission contract partners amongst each other. AII monetary and non- monetary agreements between the parties are mapped in the commission contract. Contracts are generally managed in versions (time-dependent). All documents can be managed together with the contracts, using optical archiving. 

The commission contract is the central control element for:

1. Management

- Responsible commission clerk

- How does communication take place?

2. Participation ratios

- Relationship with indirectly participating commission contract partners

- Which commission contract partners may act amongst each other?

3. Calculation bases
- Which conditions, rules, formulas, etc. are applied in which case?

- Monetary processing

- How are commissions settled and paid and via which channels?

- Market ratios 4. Which products may be sold by whom in which regions etc.?

Commission Contract - Types

Different commission Contracts exists. They are as below

1. Global Commission contracts

2. Standard Commission contracts

3. Individual Commission contracts

Commission Case

The commission case determines the remuneration result of the commission recipient on the basis of the information provided. It requires at least the following information:
  • Business partner 
  • Business object (e.g. a sales order) 
  • Commission activity 
Commissions are generated when a process (business transaction) takes place in an enterprise, which results in added value and at least one participant is involved. Agreements have to be made that trigger the disbursement of a commission. With Incentive and Commission Management, you can remunerate a wide range of business transactions as the system is extremely flexible. The result of the commission case is a commission document, which is required for settlement.

Commission case consists of four major process steps:

  • Participant determination 
  • Valuation calculation 
  • Remuneration calculation 
  • Posting
Inbound Interface Information

The structured inbound interface offers the link to the operational system and contains information on
1.Participants
2.Activities and
3.Objects relevant for commission


Maximum flexibility is achieved through customer field enhancements to the inbound interface, with no modification necessary.
