• Key Concepts: 
  Framework for Object Assignment (FOA) is a feature of SAP ICM Incentive and Commission Management (ICM) that allows users to assign objects to a particular framework. This framework can be used to define the rules and conditions for how objects are assigned, such as the type of object, the amount of commission, or the duration of the assignment. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use FOA, users must first create a framework in ICM. This framework will define the rules and conditions for how objects are assigned. Once the framework is created, users can then assign objects to it. This can be done manually or through an automated process. The objects can then be monitored and managed within the framework. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a framework in ICM, it is important to consider all of the possible scenarios that could arise when assigning objects. This will ensure that all of the necessary rules and conditions are in place for each object assignment. Additionally, it is important to keep track of all object assignments within the framework so that any changes or updates can be easily tracked and managed.
