Recipient - Bonus/Commission

A recipient is the person receiving a bonus or commission for the customer order lines covered by a bonus/commission (b/c) agreement.

Customer order lines in an invoice can affect several b/c agreements with different recipients, but only one recipient per b/c agreement. This is because it is the customer or specified recipient of the customer order who determines the recipient per b/c agreement.

The recipient in the b/c agreement is retrieved in this sequence:

  • Recipient according to b/c agreement in 'Bonus/Comm Agreement. Open' (OIS412).
  • Recipient according to the customer number in the b/c table in 'Bonus/Comm Customer Table. Connect Customer' (OIS408).
  • Recipient according to the b/c table in 'Bonus/Comm Customer Table. Open' (OIS407).
  • Recipient 1-9 according to agreement types 1-9 of affected b/c agreements in 'Customer Order. Connect B/C Recipients' (OIS400). This program is accessed via option 19 in 'Customer Order. Open' (OIS100).The default values are retrieved for the customer order according to:

    1. The blanket agreement in 'Customer Blanket Agreement. Open' (OIS060).

    2. The customer order type in 'CO Type. Update Field Selection' (OIS014).

  • The customer order's customer number (for agreement type 9='Bonus only').

If there is no recipient specified in the above hierarchy for agreement types 1-8 (commission agreements), the customer order is excluded from all b/c agreements even though one or more order lines are generating and/or paying.

A recipient must always be entered in 'Customer. Open' (CRS610) in order to receive any credits for advances or final settlements. The salesperson code must also be entered as a customer number in the customer file in order to receive commission.
