Hi Mohammed,

The assignment of an organization's receipts and expenditure to particular periods, for purposes of calculating the net income for a given period.

A distinction is made between:

Accruals: An accrual any expenditure before the closing key date which represents an expense for any period after this date.

Deferred income is any receipts before the closing key date which represent revenue for any period after this date.

Hope this info will be useful.

Hi Mohammed,

Accruals are maintained for rebate agreements, it constitutes the total accumulated value which customer has earned through rebate, one the rebate for certain amount is settled the amount from the accruals get deducted.

Rebate Agreement using SD Module:

You can use custmer rebate(0003), material rebate(0002) or Rebate on the basis of sales volume(0005) based on your specific requirement.
