Reserving commissions and rebates

You can reserve the calculated commissions for Financials and the calculated rebates for Invoicing, or you can reserve them for an external financial package.

These procedures are available for reserving payments:

  • Reservations with a link to Financials, or Invoicing. As a result, the Link with Finance check boxes are selected on the Commission Calculation Details and the Rebate Calculation Details tabs of the Commissions/Rebates Parameters (tdcms0100s000) session.
  • Reservations without a link to Financials, or Invoicing. As a result, the Link with Finance check boxes are cleared on the Commission Calculation Details and the Rebate Calculation Details tabs of the Commissions/Rebates Parameters (tdcms0100s000) session.

The reservation procedure with a link to Financials, or Invoicing

  1. Before you can start this reservation procedure, you must first complete steps 1 through 6 from the Calculating commissions and rebates topic. In step 2, you must make sure that you set the Invoice Direct/Reserve field in the Commission Agreement (tdcms0635m000) or Rebate Agreement (tdcms0635m100) sessions to Reserve.

  2. After the commissions/rebates are approved, you must reserve them by means of the Reservation and Approval of Reserved Commissions/Rebates (tdcms2202m000) session.

    • If the Relation Type is Customer, or Supplier, the status of the commission/rebate changes to Reserved.
    • If the Relation Type is Employee, the status of the commission changes to Closed, because the commissions for employees are handled directly by the payroll department. For more information, refer to Paying commissions to employees
  3. If you want to check the reserved commissions/rebates, use the Print List of Reserved Commissions/Rebates (tdcms2404m000) session.
  4. Approve the reserved commissions/rebates by selecting the Approve Reserved Commissions/Rebates check box in the Reservation and Approval of Reserved Commissions/Rebates (tdcms2202m000) session. As a result, the status of the commissions/rebates is set to Reservation Approved.
  5. Print the approved reserved commissions/rebates in the Print Reserved Commissions/Rebates (tdcms2403m000) session. As a result, the status of the commissions/rebates is set to Ready.

  6. In the Release Commissions/Rebates to Invoicing (tdcms2201m000) session, you must:

    • Release the reserved commissions to Financials.
    • Release the reserved rebates to Invoicing.

    As a result, the status is set to Closed.

Note: The commissions/rebates can receive the statuses Reserved and Reservation Approved only if a Link with Finance exists.

The reservation procedure without a link to Financials, or Invoicing

  1. Before you can start this reservation procedure, you must first complete steps 1 through 6 from the Calculating commissions and rebates topic. In step 2, you must make sure that you set the Invoice Direct/Reserve field in the Commission Agreement (tdcms0635m000) or Rebate Agreement (tdcms0635m100) sessions to Reserve.
    • If the Relation Type is Supplier or Customer, use the Print Reserved Commissions/Rebates (tdcms2403m000) session to print the invoices for the commissions/rebates. As a result, the status of the commissions/rebates is set to Closed.
    • If the Relation Type is Employee, use the Close Commissions Reserved for Employees (tdcms2102m000) session to set the commissions to Closed. Next, the payment of commissions to employees is executed outside LN.
