If I Change the Negative Earnings Policy of a Deal, Will It Affect All Affiliates on That Deal?

It depends on how the negative earnings policy has been configured for each affiliate's customer group.

If a customer group is configured with the Same as Deal option, any changes made to the negative earnings policy of the Deal will automatically apply to all affiliates assigned to that Deal.

However, if a customer group has been explicitly configured with either Pay, Carry, or Discard, then that setting will override the Deal configuration, and changes made to the Deal will have no effect on that customer group.

Only customer groups using the Same as Deal setting inherit the negative earnings policy from the Deal. Customer groups with an explicitly defined policy maintain their own configuration regardless of changes made to the Deal.
