This section contains information about how the key figures of the subsequent settlement analysis are calculated.

There are conditions that vendors grant retailers, for example, for:

• The purchase of goods

• Punctual payment of vendor invoices

• Running promotions

• Contribution to the costs incurred in retail (for example, disposal costs)

There are two types of conditions: conditions requiring immediate settlement and conditions requiring subsequent settlement. Conditions requiring immediate settlement are taken into consideration directly with the vendor invoices or when these invoices are settled and are therefore not part of the subsequent settlement. Conditions requiring subsequent settlement (indicated as subsequent settlement) are to be subsequently settled with the vendor.

The key figures of the subsequent settlement standard analysis are updated to the information structure S015 when an invoice is received for a purchase order (vendor business volume) or when an arrangement is subsequently settled (income) by credit memo/billing document.
