Hi,

Regarding Settlement Material(Dummy Material)

Since a rebate settlement in SAP is reflected as a credit memo request, a material number is needed to generate the credit. The material for this credit memo is stored in field “Matl. f. settl.” (Material for settlement). Since the key combination we choose is by customer, we need to define a material of our choosing. For most of my clients, this always causes an issue with reporting, since the materials that are actually being accrued on cannot be easily tied to the material of the settlement. You will always have to choose a material if the material number is not part of your condition table. In the latter case, the material number defaults as the settlement material(Dummy Material).

REgards,
