The vendor fund master data can be used to manage vendor fund information, such as a discount offered on products by a vendor to a retailer.
Demand Data Foundation (DDF) uses an inbound interface (function module/DMF/OPIF_VENDOR_FUND_INBOUND
) to receive the vendor fund master data through a Remote Function Call (RFC). For more information, see the function module documentation (transaction SE37).
