Rebate Agreement accruals invoice reports

Question

Hi Team,
As per my client requirement we need to prepare the below  rebate agreement accruals invoice report.
Rebate agreement
Rebate recipent
Customer
Invoice date
Invoice
Invoice Item Number
Rebate Material
Rebate material net quantity
Invoice price
Rebate accural  condition ( % or $)
Total Rebate amount
GST
20000
123456 (payer)
1000
01.01.2014
987654321
110
ABC
20
10.00 $
$ 10.00
$ 10.00
20000
123456 (payer)
1000
01.01.2014
987654321
140
ZYX
5
5.00 $
$ 0/50
$2.50
We have prepared the report using rebate tables and achieved the results but we missed below one logic here.i.e.
Business want to maintain the rebate accruals condition records for few customers accounts in the rebate agreement although it’s not related to rebate receipts account.
Example: rebate agreement: 20000
Rebate receipt: 123456 (Payer account)
Rebate condition records
     1)    Customer & material combination – customer # 1000 and material # ABC – 5.0 % - appearing the reports –Status : Working appearing the reports Customer # 1000 Payer is -123456
2)       Customer # 9999 and material # ZXY – 5.0% - Not appearing the report – Status: Failed
Customer # 9999 is Payer – 88888 – both accounts are don’t have any PF relationship with rebate receipts # 123456
When Rebate Condition records are maintaining for Rebate receipt related to customer (SP) account & material combination level in this scenario – Reports working fine .However, few scenarios like business need to maintain rebate accrual condition records for other payer customer accounts in the same agreement in this scenario – Reports is not pulling the invoice accruals due to logic missing our early logic given based on the rebate recipient customer level. I am excepting a technical logic with functional details in this.
Could you please help me.
Cheers,
Jackon Robert

Hi Omer,
Proposal:
Setup your rebate condition as amount = 0 and accruals = $
The system will do the accounting movements for the accruals as usual
When doing the final settlement in SD, nothing will be credited to the customer as the rebate condition is zero BUT the accruals will be reversed (as usual when doing the final settlement).
That should work because it is standard SAP logic.
On the other hand, it is a pity not to be able to credit the customer if you already have the rebate agreement created in the system.
Are you 100% positive about this legal issue in your business environment?
I did a few rebate projects in FMCG and it is standard practice to send credit memo to the rebate recipient: The Customer (Payer in SAP).
Nobody ever said it was a problem, because practically speaking it is just one more credit note to the same customer that was invoiced beforehand!
