Sold-to Business Partner Usually a customer's purchase department, the business partner who orders goods or services from your organization, that owns the configurations you maintain, or for whom you perform a project. The agreement with the sold-to business partner can include the following:
Relation A shortened term for trade relation. Relation is a collective term for an employee or buy-from business partner that is entitled to a commission, and a sold-to business partner entitled to a rebate. Relations can be grouped in a relation team for the purpose of assigning the same agreement structure. Relation Type A classification that determines whether a commission or a rebate is involved, as well as how commissions are to be paid. The relation is a sold-to business partner to whom a rebate is granted, or a buy-from business partner (agent) or an employee (representative) to whom commission is paid.

You can only access this field if the Relation field is filled and if the Parent Commission for Child check box in the Commissions/Rebates Parameters (tdcms0100s000) session is selected. Agreement Group A group of relations to which the same commission/rebate agreements are linked. Project An endeavour with a special objective to be met within the prescribed time and money limitations and that has been assigned for definition or execution.

A grade unit only applies to agreements defined for items.
