Abstract
A method, system, and article of manufacture for defining and managing instances of time-based organization hierarchies, and for assigning sales credit to corresponding positions within the time-based organization hierarchy in response to a sales data input are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a user may define and/or manage one or more instances of the time-based organization hierarchy via a user interface generated on a client. Moreover, and in response to the sales data input corresponding to a transaction, a sales credit assignment process may then be executed to assign sales credit to one or more positions within the instance of the time-based organization hierarchy based on an evaluation of conditions specified in one or more identified assignment rules associated with the time-based organization hierarchy.
