Changing a Transaction in the Transaction Workbook


After orders and other transactions are in the Transaction Workbook, you can review them and make changes as necessary. For example, you can perform any of the following actions:

  • Review transaction amounts in the participant's divisional currency.
  • Change the order transaction team.
  • Add or delete members to the order transaction team.
  • Modify the credit allocation for the members of the transaction team.
  • Modify the transaction status and status date and plan date.
  • Drill down on the transaction to review or modify transaction detail.
  • Adjust or cancel one or more transactions.

To review and change orders in the Transaction Workbook

  1. From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Incentive Compensation Tracking > Transaction Workbook.
  2. In the Transactions list or form, make any modifications or changes to the transactions.

    Your transaction changes are not applied to the original order.

    NOTE:  In order for a transaction to be exported to the Calculation Workbook, you must complete the Order Amount, Status, and Plan Date fields in the Transaction Workbook view.

    The following table describes the Transaction Workbook fields.

    Field
    Comments

    Account

    The account for the order.

    Achievement Workbook Status

    Processed or Unprocessed. Indicates whether or not the transaction has been processed through the Achievement Containers Workbook.

    Adjusted

    Indicates whether or not the transaction has been adjusted.

    Adjusted Status Date

    The status date of the transaction being adjusted.

    Adjusted Transaction

    The original transaction ID from which the adjustment was created.

    Approved

    Indicates whether or not the order has been approved.

    Billable

    Indicates whether or not the order is billable.

    Comments

    A text field for comments.

    Cost

    Total cost of an order—the sum of the costs from the order line items.

    Eligible for Payment

    This check box determines whether the compensation from this record is included in the Gross Earnings Eligible total. Regardless of the value of the flag, the compensation amount is included in the Gross Earnings amount. If the check box is selected, the value is True.

    Exported to Calculation Workbook

    The read-only check box indicates whether or not the transaction has been moved to the Calculation Workbook.

    Invoice ID

    The ID number for the invoice.

    Margin

    Total margin for the order.

    Last Modified

    The login of the person who last modified the record.

    Last Modified Date

    The time of the last modification.

    Opportunity

    The opportunity associated with the order.

    Order

    The ID number for the order.

    Order Amount

    The total revenue generated by the order. Orders are created by users with a specified divisional currency, and the revenue amount in Siebel Orders and Siebel Transaction Workbook is represented in that currency. When the Calculation Engine calculates a transaction, the order amount is converted into the currency of the plan if they are not the same.

    Order Date

    Date the order was created. The Order Date is used as the exchange date. For more information, see Multi-Currency Transactions.

    Order Type

    Type of order (for example, Sales Order).

    Payment

    The check box, if selected, indicates payment record.

    Payment Amount

    Amount of payment for the transaction.

    Payment ID

    The ID number of the payment.

    Plan Date

    The Plan Date works in conjunction with the status of the order. For example, if the order had a status of Booked in December, 2002, and payment was received in January, 20043(order status was changed to Paid in January 2003), then the Plan Date would be populated with the Booked date (default). The active plan is used to compute compensation for this order. The default status mapping is as follows:

    n Invoiced, Booked
    n Billed, Booked
    n Booked, Booked
    n Paid, Booked

    This mapping can be changed, and the status lookup feature can be turned off using Siebel Tools. For more information about configuring mapping and using the status lookup feature, see Configuring Incentive Compensation.

    The Plan Date also determines which compensation plan is used to compute compensation and which transactions are included in the calculation run. Transactions are sorted by Plan Date/Time in the Calculation Workbook.

    % Discount

    The percentage of discount on the order.

    % Margin

    The Percentage of margin for the order using Order Amount and Total Cost.

    Qty Requested

    Qty Shipped

    The total number of units being shipped—the sum of shipped units from the order line items.

    Site

    The account site. For example, Headquarters.

    Status

    Status of the order (such as Booked, Billed, Shipped, Paid, and so on).

    Status Date

    The date the status of the order was changed, for example, from Booked to Paid. The transactions are imported and exported based on the Status Date.

    Transaction

    Unique ID number for the transaction.

    Transaction Team

    The sales team members who are receiving credit for the order. Also indicates the effective dates and the credit allocation for each member of the team.

    Type

    The type of transaction. Options are System Add, Manual Add, or Adjust. Manual Add is for records created manually and Adjust is for an adjustment record in the Transaction Workbook. The default is System Add when imported through the server process.
