Activities
As a Sales Manager, you have the ability to adjust the settlementamounts. This transaction would allow you to adjust amounts forsettlement for each of the agents that you are responsible for.
A Sales manager can only adjust the amounts equal to the entitlement ascalculated by the system. This means that you can either lock the wholeamount from settlement, release partial or release whole amounts. Noincrease of the entitlement is allowed. Please refer to example sectionfor a test scenario.

Example
If Business Partner "Joe Agent" with contract "001" has 3 differentsettlement lines:
Line 1 - 100 US D with settlement lock
Line 2 - 200 USD released for Settlement
Line 3 - 100 USD with settlement Lock
When the transaction is executed for thi s partner, the aggregate lineswould like this
BPartner/Contract ID/Old Locked Amt/Old Unlocked Amt/New Locked Amt/NewUnlocked Amt/ Currency
Joe Agent/ 001/200/200/0/0
The manager from here on can perform 3 activities:
1) Lock entire amount => New locked amount = 400
2) Release entire amount => New Unlocked amount = 400
3) Release different amounts from originally calculated => New lockedAmount = 100
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, New Unlocked Amount = 300
The system will not allow the total amounts to exceed total entitlementamounts.
