In this activity you make additional IPM-specific entries for the IPM-specific item categories (these have the item object type BUS2000175 - rights acquisition contract item CRM or BUS2000176 - rights sales contract item CRM). These are evaluated to determine the following characteristics:

Clearing relevance

A rights acquisition or rights sale contract item is relevant to clearing if the Clearing relevance indicator is selected for its item category. In this case, it is billed according to the settings for clearing control. Clearing control determines whether a clearing item is handled like an advance or a minimum guarantee during billing.

Confirmation relevance

A rights sales contract item is relevant to confirmation if a non-initial difference calculation relevance has been defined for its item category and it is not relevant to clearing. In this situation, the system generates a confirmation document item for this item, in which the confirmed data values are cumulated. Price agreements for the item are used to evaluate individual periods (BRIs). The cumulated data values are used as the condition basis here.

Difference calculation relevance

A rights acquisition or rights sale contract item is relevant to the difference calculation if a non-initial difference calculation relevance that is not LS> B (PP: per period) is selected for its item category and it is not relevant to clearing. In this case, price agreements are based on ITD values. (A confirmation-relevant rights sales contact item therefore

• Either has difference calculation relevance A and each period is evaluated on the basis of the total values confirmed up to that point.

• Or has difference calculation relevance B and each period is evaluated without the difference calculation on the basis of the values confirmed during this period.)

Rights relevance

A rights acquisition or rights sale contract item is relevant to rights if the Rights relevance indicator is selected for its item category and it has not been expanded into rights-relevant sub-items in the item overview.

Royalties relevance

A rights acquisition or rights sale contract item is relevant to royalties if:

• It is not relevant to clearing.

• It has not been expanded into rights-relevant sub-items in the item overview and

• It is relevant to billing or billing plan items are available for it, which have not been defined as a revenue plan (determination of a billing plan is also dependent on the billing plan procedure used by the customer).

Revenue recognition relevance

A rights sale item is relevant to revenue recognition if a revenue recognition category has been assigned to its item category. Revenue recognition relevance extends to lower-level billing request items. These items are transferred to the Accrual Engine where revenue recognition takes place.

Default account assignment

You have the option of performing single object controlling to an internal order or WBS element, or using mass controlling. You can record the default account assignment here.

Sales transaction settlement relevance indicator

Specifies whether the rights acquisition or rights sales contract item is relevant to the sales transaction settlement. Settlement-relevant business transactions trigger calculation of the outgoing royalties due to the licensors.

For more information, see Configure Transaction-Based Outgoing Royalties Settlement.

Distribution relevance indicator

Indicates whether the rights acquisition or rights sales contract item is distribution-relevant (that is, whether distribution information is stored in the set IPM_REVDIST). This set reduces performance costs for account assignment items, particularly in large contracts, and is the recommended solution for cost and revenue distribution.

Note:

The billing plan function is still available and supported but is no longer recommended because of the increased demands it places on performance.

Once you create an acquisition or sales contract with a distribution-relevant item category, you can no longer switch from distribution using the billing plan function to distribution using the IPM_REVDIST set.
