Normally, you want your sales incentive plans to only process sales transactions within a time period, but also matching a certain criteria (ex: exclude all line items of type "renewal", only consider transactions associated with new products, etc.).
Applying transaction filtering to your plans can: - Reduce the risk of commission overpayment
- Avoid the system asking you for unnecessary input (ex: catalog entries) via system alerts
- Increase calculation speed by processing fewer records
- Avoid you having to pre-determine which specific transactions to import
Importing all transactions, and then applying transaction filtering to your plan, is a winning combination.
