• CPartner contract account
• DPayment term

• A
  6% (3)
• B
  75% (38)
• C
  4% (2)
• D

Explanation

Settlement Rule is the object within the partner agreement that enables del credere (payment risk) transfer - it governs the financial settlement terms between the service provider and the partner, including the option to reassign the default risk of non-payment by end customers onto the partner.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. Invoice agreement - Controls billing and invoicing conditions between parties, but has no function related to risk allocation.
• C. Partner contract account - A financial account assignment object used for posting partner-related transactions; it doesn't govern risk responsibility.
• D. Payment term - Defines payment deadlines and discount schedules, not who bears the liability if the customer defaults.

Memory tip: Think of the Settlement Rule as the rulebook that "settles" all financial responsibilities between the provider and partner - including who loses money if the end customer doesn't pay. Risk = responsibility = settlement.
