No Rebate should be paid.

[Former Member]

Hi All,

There is an accrued amount against a rebate agreement, with a rebate condition of 0.5%. However no rebate is to be paid. Instead of the condition being changed to 0% and running VBOF, a final settlement was carried out for 0.5% accrual. Looking at the CR the accrual amount was posted into accounts and is showing in the profitability reports in COPA.

My aim is to change the rebate condition from 0.5% to 0%.

By cancelling the CN the rebate is still in display mode. Even by flagging the credit memo request for rejection does not change the agreement status in the rebate.

At this stage the rebate agreement is now in display mode, so I can not make any changes to the conditions.

Is anyone aware of a way to either:

1. Get the rebate agreement back into change mode.

2. About to reverse the accrual out of the accounts.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers

Ricardo

Hi Ricardo,

See SAP Note 105681 - Consulting: New rebate procedure when it talks about agreements with indicator as changed. It says:

During the final settlement of rebate agreements, the system first
checks whether the agreement is indicated as changed. In this case,
no final settlement is possible. You must update the billing
documents first.

I hope this helps you

Regards

Eduardo

Hi Ricardo

You have to cancel the credit memo document then it is possible. If still you are facing the problem then you need to create a same rebate agreement and then run VBOF and then cancel the rebate amount.

Hi Ricardo

When you create a final settlemnt the status of the agreement (KONA-BOSTA) changes

from 'B' to 'C', at this stage you can still open the agreement by deleting the sales document.

However, once you create a billing document form it the KONA-BOSTA is changed to 'D'

and then as stated above it is NOT possible to change this agreement further.

On your questions:

Is anyone aware of a way to either:

1. Get the rebate agreement back into change mode.

2. About to reverse the accrual out of the accounts.

You could change the status in KONA for this agreement as a one off correction.

Use the debugger to change it to 'B' . You could test this in a quality system to see

that you get the posting results you need when you complete the processing.

Otherwise the cancellation of the billing document and rejection is your last step

on this agreement.

I hope this helps you further

Kind regards

Hi Richardo,

Once you are done with final settlement, there is no change possible to the agreement. It will show in display mode. This is the standard behavior. What you have done is correct. It would've reversed the accounting entries created by final settlement.

There is a way. You have to copy the existing rebate agreement and create a new agreement. Make the required changes as you wish in it and create a final settlement for the new agreement.
