Settlement Accounting for Rebate Arrangements via Workflow
Use
You can use this procedure to initiate a defined workflow that supports both settlement accounting and the process of comparing and agreeing business volumes.
Procedure
1. On the
Generate Work Items for Settlement re Rebate Arrangements screen, choose the rebate arrangements for which settlement accounting is necessary by entering the desired criteria.Those rebate arrangements for which settlement accounting is due are selected. Settlement accounting is due if the validity start date of the arrangement is earlier than or the same as the settlement date and settlement has not yet been effected.
A work item for partial settlement is generated if the settlement date is earlier than the end date of the rebate arrangement and the field Partial settlement has been selected. If the settlement date is later than or the same as the validity end date of the arrangement, and if the field Final settlement has been selected, the Workflow facility first checks whether or not the buying entity’s and vendor’s respective business volume figures need to be reconciled. If this is the case, a work item for the business volume comparison and agreement process is first generated. After this, a work item for final settlement is generated. If it is not the case, a work item for final settlement accounting is generated at once.
By specifying the purchasing organization, the purchasing group, the condition granter, or other data, you can narrow down the selection further.
2. Run the program. Depending on the rebate arrangement selected, the employees assigned to the relevant task receive a work item in their integrated inbox.
