• Key Concepts: 
  Negative threshold value is a feature of SAP ICM Incentive and Commission Management (ICM). It is a setting that allows users to define a minimum amount of commission that must be earned before any commission is paid out. This setting helps to ensure that only those who have earned a certain amount of commission are eligible for payment. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the negative threshold value feature, users must first define the minimum amount of commission that must be earned before any commission is paid out. This can be done in the ICM configuration settings. Once the threshold has been set, any commission earned below this amount will not be paid out. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting the negative threshold value, it is important to consider the average commission earned by sales representatives. Setting the threshold too high may discourage sales representatives from earning commissions, while setting it too low may result in excessive payments.
