Contracts and Chargebacks with SAP Compensation Management

Did you know there’s an SAP standard module for contract pricing and chargeback management?  It provides the same functionality as the popular Vistex add-on but there are no license fees.  It’s called SAP Compensation Management and it’s part of the standard Logistics / Global Trade modules.   Take a look at this comparison:

If you didn’t know about Compensation Management, don’t feel bad – it’s one of SAP’s best-kept secrets.  You won’t find it in SAP marketing materials or the training curriculum.  Even the online documentation is limited to just two pages, and there’s a lot of confusion with the HR module of the same name.  And yet it offers critical functionality for SAP wholesale distribution.

It’s time to drag this shy module into the spotlight and give it the attention it deserves.  Take a look at the Key Features, then read on to learn more about the Compensation Management module in detail.  And of course, contact me with your questions, suggestions and comments.
