Rebate handling enables you to grant a customer a certain discount within a specific time period, dependent on sales.

The following R/3 components are integrated in the scenario for rebate processing:

The rebate details are defined in a rebate agreement. For example, you can define the following data within this rebate agreement:

• the recipient of the rebate payment
• the criteria for being granted a rebate (customer, customer and material, and so on)

Rebates are settled once their validity period has expired. The system creates credit memos using rebate-relevant billing documents (invoices, credit and debit memos), as well as taking into account any conditions made in the rebate agreement. You can make partial payments of a rebate and the system takes these into account for the final settlement.
