| Adapter | SDI component which allows connectivity to external sources. |
| Pipeline | Pipeline is a compensation computation process initiated from the Pipeline workspace in the Job Queue view or from the command-line utility. The pipeline produces compensation and pay results for payees assigned to variable compensation plans. See Commissions online help for more details. |

| Adjustment | A change to the amount of a transaction, credit, or deposit. |
| Administration Data | Commissions data set up during implementation to identify and group data. Includes users, groups, business units, calendars, message log, roles, periods, and data types (credit types, earning codes, earning groups, event types, and reason codes). Administration data is tracked by audit history only, and is not versioned. |
| Aggregate credit incentive rule | A general incentive rule used to calculate incentives by comparing a specified measurement value, usually an aggregation of credited transactions, to a rate or rate table to calculate total incentive output earned by a participant. |
| Allocate stage | Calculation stage in which credits and primary measurements are calculated and allocated to participants. The input to the stage is classified transactions from the Classify stage; the output is credits and primary measurements that are allocated to position assignments. |

| Bonus | Generally, a kind of incentive award that is awarded when a specified performance goal is met, such as attainment of a quota. |
| Bonus rule | A type of incentive rule used to calculate incentive awards. A bonus rule is typically a formula-driven incentive rule that uses a formula rather than a measurement to determine rule output. For example, you can create a formula for an incentive rule that awards a one-time payout of a 10K bonus after the payee’s quarterly quota is attained. |

For example, in the Product category, each classifier represents a unique product with a unique identification number. Classifiers are used by classification rules to match fields on a transaction, and by compensation rules to filter input to the rule. |
| Classifier assignment | The relationship created by assigning a classifier to a category for a specified period of time. A classifier can exist in multiple category hierarchies, but it can be assigned only once in each hierarchy. |
| Classifier type | A label that defines the type of classifer being organized in a category hierarchy. Predefined classifier types include customer, postal code, and product. New classifier types can also be defined by the administrator. |

| Deposit | Amount of compensation calculated for a participant for the period in which the calculation was run. A deposit is usually associated with a specific earning group. |
| Deposit rule | One of the basic rule types processed by the calculation that make up a variable compensation plan. Deposit rules are processed during the Reward stage to calculate how much of each kind of incentive compensation a participant has earned in a specified period, and when the compensation can be paid. |
| Direct credit | Credit allocated to a participant based directly on a sales transaction, as opposed to allocation based on another credit. |
| Duplicate credit | Named credit that is derived from the same source transaction or order as an existing credit. When you create a credit rule, you specify whether duplicate credits are allowed. |

| Finalized period | Period that is closed to new calculation and posting of payments. A change to a finalized period is reported as a balance. |
| Finalize stage | Calculation stage in which payments for a period are closed. You can finalize a period for just a position group, in which case no more payments can be generated for that group but payments can still be generated for other participants. The Finalize stage also converts negative incremental deposits to posted negative balances, unless Commissions is configured not to make negative payments. |
| Fixed value | A numerical quantity used to represent an amount. Used to store static numeric values for use in different rules. You can specify fixed values to apply only to a specified period. You can use fixed values for a number of purposes, including quotas, target bonus amounts, commission rates, or Boolean (true/false) information. |

Synonyms for on-target earnings include target annual earnings (TAE), total compensation, and target compensation |
| Payee preassignment | A credit allocation on a transaction that specifies preassignment to a payee, position, or title. Preassigned transactions are processed through the calculation using preassigned credit rules created specifically to process preassigned transactions. These preassigned credit rules evaluate only the subset of positions that are preassigned with any payee/position/title combination while other credit rules evaluate every position loaded per transaction. |
| Payment | Value of the total deposit to be paid to a participant in the specified period. |
| Pay stage | Calculation stage in which the following are calculated: • For non-finalized periods: payments. • For finalized periods: balance information. Any past positive or negative payments or balances are added to the current period payment to produce a payment summary.

| Post stage | Calculation stage in which payments and balances from the Pay stage are permanently stored and marked as read-only. Output is available to the Finalize stage, and is also written to an output file. You can have multiple postings in a period (for different position groups) before the period is finalized. |
| Postexport | The calculation stage that generates the output file containing payments with a status of Posted. |
| Primary measurement | Named measurement whose value is the aggregate of the credit amounts specified as input to a measurement rule. Each measurement is associated with a specific period. |
| Primary measurement rule | Compensation rule used by the calculation to calculate an aggregation of credits. Primary measurement rules are processed during the the Allocate stage. |
| Processing unit | An optional compensation processing feature that enables you to support calculation processing for subsets of data that are partitioned logically within a single Repository. Processing units are defined by the business units assigned to them. |
| Purge | To systematically and permanently remove old and unneeded data. The term purge is stronger than delete.

Typically, a participant receives a direct credit for a transaction, and the manager receives a rolled credit based on his roll relationship with the participant who was directly responsible for the transaction. Also known as an indirect credit. |
| Roll relationship | An association of two positions that is used by the calculation in the process of allocating rolled credits. When you create a roll relationship, you specify a roll type, the source position, and the receiver position. You can also specify dates for which the relationship is in effect. |
| Roll type | Specifies the type of roll relationship. Can be thought of as a path between positions along which credits can roll between positions of the relationship hierarchy. You can create as many roll types as you need, and give them any name you like. Credits travel along roll relationships of the same type. |
