Reviewing Data in the Calculation Workbook


Calculation Workbook records are used in calculation runs where the transaction Plan Date falls into the Calculation Run period.

A single transaction in the Calculation Workbook can be used in multiple calculation runs. For example, a transaction record with a Plan Date in January, 2003, can be used in January's run and again at the end of the quarter. You do not need to reimport transactions for the quarterly run—the calculation engine uses records with a Plan Date during January, February, and March calculation runs.

To review data in the Calculation Workbook

  1. From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Incentive Compensation Tracking > Calculation Workbook.
  2. In the Calculation Workbook form, query for Last Name or Order or any other field in the list or form.
  3. CAUTION:  Some of the fields in the Calculation Workbook are editable (Credit Allocation, Order Amount, Status, Plan Date, and % Net Discount), but these fields should be edited with caution. If you edit the fields in the Calculation Workbook, that information is not reflected in the Transaction Workbook.
    Similarly, if you edit fields on calculated records after the Calculation Engine has calculated the record, the record will be out of sync with the calculated amount. The recommended best practice is not to modify records in the Calculation Workbook, and turning on the audit trail in the Calculation Workbook to record any changes that are made. For more information on audit trails, see Applications Administration Guide.

  4. In the Calculation Workbook list (or form), click the show more button.
  5. Review the calculation record details.
  6. NOTE:  All the transactions that fall into a Calculation Run Period are selected by the Calculation Run with the calculation run name populated. Those transactions that do not have the matching Status against the compensation rule Earned Status, will have a NULL compensation result.

    The value in this field is calculated as Order Amount multiplied by Quota Credit Allocation.
    Record Code
    The code for the record, either Adjusted or Regular. Regular is used for any transaction other than an adjustment.
    Record Type
    The type of record in the Calculation Workbook. The type might be an transaction record (which represents the transaction header record), a line item (which represents a line item on the transaction), or a calculation (which represents a record that has been created to display an aggregated calculated amount).

    Territory
    The territory of the position.
    Transaction ID
    The ID of the transaction that has been imported into the Calculation Workbook.

Creating Adjustment Transactions

You can create adjustment transactions to update compensation after the Calculation Engine has been run. This allows you to make last-minute changes before releasing the compensation to the sales representatives. For example, you can add to, or subtract from a compensation amount. You can then roll up the totals for the period using the adjusted amounts. For more information, see Adjusting Calculated Compensation Manually.
