When you installed Oracle Sales Compensation, you installed the Collector and Calculator modules into different database schema. Because these modules reside in different schema, you need to define system parameters separately for each module.

Parameter Name	Description
General System Parameters
System Status	Either ACTIVE or INACTIVE, indicating this Oracle Sales Compensation instance is either actively processing transactions or is inactive. For more information, see Administering Sales Compensation Periods.
Name	Name of this Oracle Sales Compensation instance. For more information, see Distributing Collection and Calculation Functions.
Function	The function this Oracle Sales Compensation instance is to perform: Collector: Data is collected from the A/R application. Calculator: Data is calculated only. All (Collector and Calculator): Data is collected from an external source and calculated, or the A/R source is in the same database as this Oracle Sales Compensation instance. For more information, see Collecting Data for Oracle Sales Compensation.
Salesperson Hierarchy	Since the user may have defined multiple hierarchies on the Salesperson dimension, this field tells Oracle Sales Compensation which salesperson hierarchy to use. The default is Salesperson Hierarchy. For more information, see Defining a Salesperson Hierarchy.
Revenue Class Hierarchy	Since the user may have defined multiple hierarchies on the Revenue Class dimension, this field tells Oracle Sales Compensation which revenue class hierarchy to use. The default is Revenue Class Hierarchy. For more information, see Arranging Revenue Classes into a Hierarchy.
Set of Books	The set of books associated with your sales compensation instance. For more information, see Selecting the Set of Books.
Calendar	View-only. The calendar associated with the set of GL books you specified in the Set of Books field. For more information, see Defining Your Calendar and Set of Books.
Period Type	View-only. The period type associated with the GL calendar. For more information, see Defining Your Calendar and Set of Books.
General System Parameters
Currency	View-only. Currency of the GL set of books you specified in the Name field. Because Oracle Sales Compensation is a currency-neutral application, this field is for your reference only. For more information, see Defining Your Calendar and Set of Books.
Collection Batch Size	The number of compensation transactions per batch you want Oracle Sales Compensation to collect each time you run the collection process through the Concurrent Manager. For more information, see Specifying the Collection and Transfer Batch Size.
Transfer Batch Size	The number of transactions per batch you want Oracle Sales Compensation to copy from the Collector module to the Calculator module each time you run the concurrent process to transfer transactions. Transactions are copied (transferred) from the compensation transaction tables in the Collector module to the transaction tables in the Calculator module. For more information, see Specifying the Collection and Transfer Batch Size.
Clawback Grace Days	The number of days after the payment due date that you want Oracle Sales Compensation to take back sales credit given thus far in the sales process. For more information, see Collecting Past-Due Invoices.
Transaction Rollup Method	For credit memos, deposits, guarantees, write-offs, clawbacks, and givebacks, determine which period-effective rollup hierarchy to use for the order date or the invoice date. For more information, see Making the Salesperson Hierarchy Effective
Calculator Database	One of the collection parameters. Tells the collector the TWO_TASK of the calculator so that the collection transfer modules can transfer transactions from the collector to the calculator. For more information, see Specifying the Calculator Instance.
Salesrep Batch Size	The number of salesperson periods in a sales compensation calculation batch. For more information, see Calculating Compensation for a Salesperson.
Managerial Rollup	When checked, enables Oracle Sales Compensation to rollup credits along the salesperson hierarchy. For more information, see Making the Salesperson Hierarchy Effective

Note: To make your collection system parameters effective, you must regenerate and reinstantiate the collection module. See Generating Your Revenue Classification Setup for more information.

When you change the value of a parameter, an informational message displays explaining the impact of your change. Carefully weigh the impact before you implement changes to any system parameter.

Warning: Some changes have a greater impact than others. For example, if 20 days of a 30-day clawback grace period have passed, and you change the Clawback Grace Days parameter from 30 days to 15, Oracle Sales Compensation will not issue a clawback transaction at all. However, if you change the grace period from 30 days to 40, all necessary transactions will be issued.
