How do I enter a margin agreement between a sales partner and a customer?

Overview

A margin agreement between a sales partner who is entitled to commission and a customer enables the sales partner to grant a portion of their commission to the customer in the form of a discount on the net price of a product.

Requirements

1. Record a sales partner with whom a commission contract is to be concluded.
2. Specify the contractual terms of the commission contract.

Steps

1. Open “Customer Margin Settings” from the menu.
2. Create a new entry.
3. In the field Sales partner, enter a part of the name or number of the sales partner based on whose commission the discount shall be calculated and click on the matching result in the drop-down list.
4. In the field Business Partner, enter a part of the name or number of the customer to receive the discount and click on the matching result in the drop-down list.

   Note 1: If the field remains empty, the margin agreement applies to all customers.
   
   Note 2: If both general agreements and those with specific customers exist, the one with the more specific data will always prevail.

5. In the field Margin %, enter the percentage to be deducted from the sales partner’s commission and then applied as a discount on the net price of the product.
6. Set a Valid from date.

   Note: If this date lies in the past, the agreement will be effective immediately. If it lies in the future, it will only apply from that date.
