Settlement of Fixed rebates

[Former Member]

Hi Forum

I would like to reach out to you for your inputs regarding fixed rebates. When SAP creates / settles a fixed rebate agreement, it uses a "settlement" material since the rebate accrual is not based on sales volume. However, for a correct view on profitability, the cost of the fixed rebate settlement needs to be distributed across the products that were sold during the promotion period ( either based on cost Or sales volume ). How is that achieved ? Is there a way to re-classify the settlement amount amongst products in CO-PA after the settlement has been executed in Sales ?

Would appreciate your valuable inputs

Hi Rohit,

In this case, Suggest your CO Consultant to consider Provisional Account in stead of Actual Account in CO-PA reporting for every month end CO-PA cycle allocation and Use Actual Material Code as receiver.

This will post the values against actual Material Code.

Note: Again, at the time of Actual Settlement, Values will not be passed to CO-PA but by using this you will be able to load values on real material codes.

There can be difference in Accrual and Actual depends upon your business process but that you need to discuss with CO-Consultant.

______________________________

Due to the same requirement of Customers, SAP has introduced Extended Rebate Processing concept.

In this functionality system, directly updates the same to Actual Material Codes.

But it is not advisable to activate the same considering, It can not be de-activated at later stage so detailed study of the same is needed before activation.

MJ.

Hi Rohit,

Go to tcode ORKE (customizing for COPA or the proper path in IMG) and research in the area suggested in the screenshot.

I hope this helps you
