Rebate (Accural / Amount)

[former_member301027]

Dear Gurus,

1. Required clarification in b/w Accural and Amount coming in the condition record of the rebate. Appreciate if explain with example.

2. If I create rebate agreement (Customer / Material) and settle with the credit memo, again if create a second agreement with the same customer and material and after porting invoice go for display of rebate agreement its also show the rebate basis value of last agreement.

Kindly advise.

Hi Imran,

Please check consulting note 456247. This note explains why the system stores accrual conditions with calculation type 'A' - percentage in customer billing documents although the condition type actually has calculation type 'B' - fixed amount. During the payment, however, the calculation type is as specified in the condition record.

Cause and prerequisites

This is the standard system response.

1. Example:

There is a rebate agreement with calculation type fixed amount on

150 EUR. No matter how many invoices are relevant for this rebate

agreement and which sales volume they represent, the system will

ALWAYS pay 150 EUR at the end (fixed amount). Thus it does not make

sense to defer 150 EUR or a different fixed amount for each invoice

since the payment neither depends on the amount of the invoice nor

on the number of invoices. Instead, it may be useful to create no

automatic accruals at all (accruals value 0.00 in the condition

record) and simply to defer the payment amount manually.

However, if you still want to post accruals although the payment is

independent of the amount and the number of invoices, percentage

accruals seem to be the only sensible variant since these guarantee

at least a certain independence of the number of invoices to which

the sales volume is distributed. If, for example, the rebate

recipient has an expected sales volume of 1500 EUR and should

receive a fixed amount rebate of 150 EUR and if you deferred a fixed

amount of, for example, 50 EUR, you would receive an accural of 150

EUR after three invoices. If, however, the sales volume is

distributed to 10 invoices, 500 EUR would be deferred and if the

sales volume only comes from one invoice, only 50 EUR would be

deferred. Thus a fixed amount accrual does not seem practicable.

However, a percentage accrual is still sensible here as long as the

sales volume is within the expected range. Then it does not matter

with how many invoices the sales volume of 1500 EUR is achieved,

with 1 % accruals, the total of the accruals is always 150 EUR.

Thus for conditions with calculation type 'B' - fixed amount, the

accruals amount is always stored as a percentage. A change of the

system response is not possible without a modification of the

standard system.

2. A rebate agreement INdependent of sales volume exists. (The 'Rebate

procedure' flag is set to 'A' in Customizing of the condition type.)

A special feature of this agreement type is that no automatic

accruals are posted in general. In spite of this, the condition is

stored (with the amount zero) to ensure the statistics update. Here

the calculation type has no meaning and is also stored as in a

'normal' agreement.

I hope this information helps.

Kind regards,

Kelly

Amount is nothing but the rate at which we provide rebate to customers. It could be either an absolute value or % which satisfies the key combination of the rebate condn record

System needs to know the amount to be accrued with respect to the rebate agreement if we provide an absolute amount (instead of %) in amount. That will be mentioned in accrual.

Dear Guru,

If I want to put the rebate as a fixed amount in the record, than what kind of condition type should I maintain. because when I used condition type as a "fixed amount", system in condition record automatically shows in %. Looking for the suggestion from Guru.

Thanks & Regards
