What Is A Calculation?


A calculation is the result of submitting a plan for calculation. Calculations describe who was credited with which transactions, sales performance results, and incentive rewards for each beneficiary. Calculations remain on hold until you release credits and/or rewards. 

Good to know:
  • Credits and rewards remain on-hold until you review and release (finalize) them
  • Releasing credits allow users to review progression towards sales goals on their personal incentives dashboard
  • Releasing rewards allow users to review sales incentive rewards on their personal incentives dashboard
  • Calculations include a read-only snapshot of your plan at the time it was submitted
  • Incentive calculations are performed using parallel computing to ensure you get results faster
  • You can run calculations in simulation mode if your current period is incomplete
