hi,
the help says:
You can use this business function to further optimize your electronic Sales and Billing Processes.
Electronic data archiving regulations result in a high volume of data for sales documents and require invoices to be archived at an early stage. You can integrate archived billing documents in your business processes more easily. Since you still have electronic access to archived invoices during the sales process, you can manage archiving without delay and execute further sales processes electronically.
You can more efficiently use the rebate agreements from SAP ERP for your marketing activities. In particular, customers who use SAP CRM (Trade Promotion Management) with a large volume of data for campaigns, target groups, and product segments can define a custom-made logic for their rebate determination and thus avoid potential database problems.
Integration
To implement the logic for rebate processing in SAP ERP, you use the Enhancements for Rebate Processing Business Add-In (BAdI). For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) under  Sales and Distribution  Billing  Rebate Processing  Business Add-Ins (BAdIs)  Enhancements for Rebate Processing .
Prerequisites
You have activated the Logistics: S&D Simplification (SD_01) business function.
Features
You can integrate archived billing documents in your business processes as follows:
Create sales documents with reference to archived billing documents, such as credit memo and debit memo requests.
Display archived billing documents.
When you do either of these steps, the system first looks for the invoice in the database and then in the archive.
For the sales employee, the processing steps are identical, regardless of where the sales document is stored. As soon as the sales employee processes an archived billing document, they see the relevant information in the message line as well as in the title of the function.
For rebate processing, you can store your company's check logic in the interface of the Business Add-In (BAdI) Enhancements for Rebate Processing.
So check if you have activated the business function.
I hope this helps.
