When you specify that you want to "collect" clawback transactions, you specify a period of time, or a grace period, that the invoice is allowed to go past-due before Oracle Sales Compensation takes back compensation credit the salesperson received for the invoice transaction. Each time you run the process to collect transactions, Oracle Sales Compensation checks whether the grace period has passed.

The clawback grace period is a system parameter with a default of 30 days: if a cash receipt is not posted by Oracle Receivables within 30 days of the invoice due date, Oracle Sales Compensation creates a compensation transaction to take back sales credit already given. The amount of negative sales credit is equal to the amount of credit the salesperson has received thus far for this particular sale. For example, if Global Computers representative Pat Smith received $1000 sales credit when he booked an order for consulting services, and another $1000 when Receivables posted the invoice to GL, Oracle Sales Compensation claws back a total of $2000 when the clawback grace period expires.

For more information on setting the amount of sales credit a given representative receives, see Distributing Compensation Across Transactions.

   To set the clawback grace period:

1. If necessary, log onto the Calculator instance, or the instance that is both the Collector and Calculator.

2. Navigate to the System Parameters window.

3. In the Collection region, enter the grace period in the Clawback Grace Days field.

The grace period specifies the number of days after the invoice is due that can elapse before Oracle Sales Compensation issues a compensation transaction with a negative amount of sales credit.

Before you run your compensation system with production data, you need to activate this and other system parameters. Setting System Parameters explains how to do this, and summarizes other collector parameters available from this menu.
