 Final Settlement

Use

Final settlement usually takes place at the end of the rebate agreement validity period. After final settlement for a rebate agreement takes place, the system resolves all accruals that have been cumulated, it sets the rebate agreement status in the rebate agreement and all condition records to Closed , no further cumulation of sales volume takes place, and conditions for agreements that have been finally settled can no longer be found in pricing.

Note Note

In the settlement profile you specify a payment delay in days to control how long the system must wait after the final settlement date before settlement actually takes place. This ensures that settlement does not take place prematurely, and that any cancellations or returns are taken into consideration beforehand.
