• Key Concepts:
  Liability for Difference Valuation (LFDV) is a feature of SAP ICM Incentive and Commission Management (ICM) that allows companies to accurately calculate and manage liabilities associated with incentive and commission payments. It enables companies to track the difference between the actual cost of an incentive or commission payment and the expected cost, and to adjust the liability accordingly.
  
  How to use it:
  To use LFDV, companies must first define the parameters of their incentive or commission payment, such as the amount, duration, and payment terms. Once these parameters are set, the system will automatically calculate the expected cost of the payment. The system will then compare this expected cost to the actual cost of the payment, and any difference will be recorded as a liability. This liability can then be managed and adjusted as needed.
  
  Tips & Tricks:
  It is important to ensure that all parameters of an incentive or commission payment are accurately defined in order for LFDV to work properly. Additionally, it is important to regularly review and adjust any liabilities associated with payments in order to ensure accuracy.
