Bonus Settlement

Settlement can be carried out either massively, or by single contract or by single contract line.

We need to enter:

Field	Description
Starting / Ending Date	posting date range of entries to be settled
Settlement Type	From setup: bonus are settled on the G/L accounts or item charge indicated in setup.   G/L Account / Item Charge: you must enter the G/L account number or item charge code in the "Settlement No." field
Settle Temporary Entries	original movements in the liquidation plan, temporary entries represent "provisional" bonuses, usually dependent on additional conditions.
Group by Document	defines the logic of combining bonus entries, the maximum detail is the value

The settlement populates its journal and the "Amount on Settl. Entries (LCY)" field and consequently of contracts, generating provisional settlement documents (sales credit memos or purchase invoices).

The journal (Customer Bonus Matching (SPB)) is the tool for checking accrued bonuses, from here you can post the temporary documents generated by the settlement procedure (Settle Temporary Entries). 

 It is also possible to manually match an accrued bonus resulting from a bonus calculated on the basis of documents outside the system or documents wrongly posted without any connection with the respective bonus entries. 

Note
Deleting settlement journal entries or document entries causes contract accrued bonus to reopen

Modify amounts

From the journal you can change the amount of the bonuses, the change automatically updates the temporary settlement document. Deleting a bonus line deletes the reference document.
