You can use this business function to optimize the determination of billing documents in a side-by-side scenario during rebate processing. Billing document determination no longer takes place using index table SD Document: Billing Document: Rebate Index (VBOX), but using the application tables in the Sales and Distribution component (SD).

Integration

If you activate this business function, rebate-relevant billing document data is no longer saved redundantly in table VBOX. The update of rebate-relevant billing document data in table VBOX does not take place.

This does not affect the user interface or the user interaction.

    • You can assign the access fields to specific customers in order to override or enhance the standard mapping under Billing Document Determination: Customer-Specific Mapping.

The system determines the billing documents for enhanced rebate processing using only the application tables in the Sales and Distribution (SD) component.
