To create a commission for an agent, several steps must be followed in SAP. These include establishing partner functions, assigning those functions to procedures and account groups, editing pricing structures and programs, and creating reports. Partner functions are defined for the agent and assigned to procedures and account groups. Pricing structures, programs, and field catalogs are edited to include the new functions. Condition tables, sequences, and types are created and added to pricing procedures. Finally, a commission report is developed.
