The «Agent Liquidation Management» solution integrates with an application context in which the commission calculation system generates accounting records of provisions at the time of their accrual. ​Furthermore, the solution integrates with Customer Accounting to verify the status of invoices and collections; with Supplier Accounting for recording invoices and making payments to agents; and with the General Accounting for the automatic accounting generated during the process of setting aside contributions and paying commissions.

Implementation mode:

The implementation of the Add-On for the settlement of agent commissions involves the release of a pre-configured version through the SAP ACTIVATE methodology containing the basic functioning configuration and ready-to-use print layouts. The implementation activity includes a «Realization» phase in which the configuration is completed by adapting specific elements of the design context while maintaining the operating logic unchanged compared to the pre-configured.

The pre-configured implementation phases involve the following activities by SAP:

Prepare: preliminary system configuration to meet installation requirements.​ Installation of the software with all objects and data model
Explore: presentation of the product features and sharing of its standard logic (Fit-to-Standard Workshop). During the workshop, any "gaps" are identified and the information required to complete the standard configuration is collected
Realize: completion of the standard configuration according to the logic of the product and its basic configuration (pre-configured)
Deploy: application of fixes and configuration additions discovered during testing and startup of the solution (pre-configured)
