Rebate Agreement Calendars

Our business has five main Rebate Agreement (Arrangement) Calendars :
October to September
July to June
April to March
August to July
January to December
There are additionally, some other validity periods that we might use, such as six-monthly, however the above five calendars probably account for 80-90% of our Rebate Agreements.
The problem :
We want to be able to use Rebate Agreement Calendars to automatically extend Agreements for a further 12 months. However, my understanding is that each Rebate Agreement Type is only designed to work with a single Calendar, therefore we would have to create a further four copies of an Agreement Type, each with a different calendar assigned. E.g. :
RA Type Calendar Description
ZR01 R1 October to September
ZR02 R2 July to June
ZR03 R3 April to March
ZR04 R4 August to July
ZR05 R5 January to December
and the same for all other Agreement Types we use. This would result in a ridiculous amount of duplicate/needless configuration.
We have unlocked the screen field to be able to change the Arrangement Calendar in VBO1/VBO2. However, we still have to set a default Calendar in config, via txn VB(2, and that default flows through to the RA on creation. Although it is then possible to overtype the Calendar, only the default appears in a picklist, which is confusing to the user. In addition, even if we overtype it, if we then extend the RA via VB(D, the Calendar maintained on the individual RA will be ignored, with the Calendar taken from config again.
I find it hard to believe that we are the only company wanting to use Rebate Agreement (Arrangement) Calendars in this way, is there something obvious I'm missing ?
Many thanks, Paul.

Hi Jo Jo,
I had implemented Rebate in my company and had similar problem.
After doing Trial & Error on Sales Volume & Verification level screen I found:
In Sales Volume :
After u201CPayu201D of Accruals, remaining value comes. If the credit note created is not passed to A/C, the value does not get reduced. Also, unless the Invoice/Billing Doc. is passed to A/c. the value here shows 0 (ZERO)
Items that show accruals of 0 are invoice line items that applied retroactively. Since the rebate agreement did not exist when they were created, no accrual could be made.
In Verification level:
Total accruals, document and item wise come.
So the difference may be due to some of the docs that are not passed to Accounting or may be due to retroactive agreement.
Hope it adds value to your question.
Regards,
Tushar Karwa

  • Problems in Rebate agreement

    The problem is that After final rebate settlement there is still open accrual.
    And in another agreement the p&l effect in SAP is much more higher than the difference of accrued and paid amounts.
    I revised already the agreement conditions and I didn't find out anything....
    Where can be the Problem?
    Thanks  in advance and regards

  • Rebate condition in rebate agreement cannot be maintained (greyed out)

    Hi.
    We have setup rebate processing in CRM 7.0.
    We get our invoice to the billing due list and it fills then the extract. But we fail in setting up the rebate agreemnt in the webui.
    Partner and material are entered. On the position (material) we try to add one of the conditions of the maintenance group we customized. Both condition types can be selected but none of them will work.
    What happens: we click on "new" select the condition type and get then presented with the view but with all fields greyed out (as in display mode).
    As there are a lot of obligatory fields we get up to 8 messages. After "fill in required entry fields" it says "maintain rebate material".
    Whatever that means.
    The material we use is a finished product.
    Has somebody ever seen this or some idea. Couldn't find oss messages on this.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Thorsten

    Hi Klaas,
    If I remember well, in the standard price determination there is a conditional formula that only shows rebate conditions in the invoice, therefore you should not see rebate conditions in the sales order.
    That is standard functionality.
    For a Customer I took out the formula condition in the pricing so he could actually see the rebate condition in the sales order, the reason was to had access to this information before end of month invoicing. The problem is that in case of changes in rebate agreement or in case of retrospective agreements the rebate condition is only updated in the invoice, not in the sales order.

  • Rebate Agreements - Free Goods payment

    Hello,
    We're currently using SAP Standard Rebate Agreement process.
    Final Settellment is generating a credit memo request, then converted into a credit memo.
    We hava a user request to stop using credit memo and to deliver free goods instead.
    The only solution we have today is to follow accruals using the rebate agreement, then to reverse the accrual manually and to create a free good order seperately.
    Is there any way to manage payment of rebate agreement with free good delivery.
    Target is to keep an integrated process.
    If someone already solved this type of request, we would be interested.
    thanks for your help
    best regards,

    Hi,
    By raising credit memo, we are just creating a liability that we have to pay / adjust to client for the rebate discount due. Payment method can be set in agreement master and while posting credit memo to accounting, will be passed to accounting. This data can then be used by FI - AR team to make the payment.

  • Settlement of rebate agreement for previous period

    Hi Friends!
    This is about rebate settlement (Partial settlement) for rebate agreement documents. We have a process of creation of retro-active rebate agreements and then the sales invoices are updated through a backgound job (program SDBONT06). At the month end there is another background job (BON_ENH_SETTLE) for partial settlement for a month.
    The above program is able to create rebate credit notes for respective months but there are updated invoice documents (accruals) in previous month. The background jobs are not able to settle the rebate accruals which are generated in previous months.
    My question is that if we input the settlement period (ex june) for that particular month and the settlement date (30th June) in selection screen of program BON_ENH_SETTLE, would this ensure that the credit note can be generate for the month of june?
    regards,
    Praveen.

    Hi Friends,
    Can any one please help me on the mentioned issue. It's bit urgent.
    Thanks & regards,

  • Rebate agreement-Difference coming for credit note value and drill down value .

    Hello Friends,
    In 2013 we had created one rebate for which the validity period was 1st April 2013 to 31st March 2014 . At the end of each month, rebate amount was settled by raising credit note to the customer . Now at the end of March'14 during final settlement, a credit note was raised to the customer . The issue here is there is difference of 1.13 (Pounds) between credit note value and the drill down value for March'14 . Lets say our credit note value is-100 (Pounds)and Drill down value for the month March'14 is 101.13 Pounds. We are not able to find out why this difference is coming . Please let me know your inputs on this .
    Regards,
    Sandeep G. 

    Sandeep -
    During final settlement of a rebate agreement, it calculates rebate amout for the the entire time period less payments already made to a customer and then issues a credit memo request based on that.Please check all the the invoices created during entire period and check accrual calculation.It should match.
    You can check VBOX table to get billing documents for the entire period.
    Let us know if you still have an issue.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Settling Rebate Agreements with Validity Start Date not Start of the Month

    Hello Experts,
    I am currently trying to settle a rebate agreement with validity dates November 20, 2011 to December 31, 2011. However, after the credit memo is created, I noticed that the Service rendered date is today's date, but I expected it to be the same as my Settlement Date = November 30, 2011 (a month-end). Please advise if this is normal. If not, please advise how to correct the automatic entry of dates.
    Thanks,

  • Rebate Agreement Replication CRM to R3 and vice-versa

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement of creating Rebate Agreement and maintaining the conditions in the same.
    When we create an order (in R3 or CRM) the values has to be populated from the rebate agreement.
    Scenario A:
    The setup of rebate is completed in R3, we have downloaded the conditions from R3 to CRM and when we are creating the order in CRM the rebates are not getting recognized. Upon analysis we found that we have to download the rebate agreements too and the respective object is REBATE_DNL_AGR.
    (Rebates are working fine for Pricing in R3.)
    Scenario B:
    We have tried an workaround of creating rebate agreements in CRM and uploading them to R3, object used is REBATE_AGRMNTS but no success.
    (In this case rebates are working fine for Pricing in CRM.)
    We are facing issues in replicating the Rebate agreements from CRM to R3 and vice versa.
    When we do the initial load R3AS of below objects, they are not progressing and not appearing in queues too. Status is always running
    CRM to R3 for rebate agreement – REBATE_AGRMNTS
    R3 to CRM  for rebate agreement - REBATE_DNL_AGR
    If you have any inputs, pls share. Thanks
    Regards,
    MK

    Hi  Kalyan,
    Did you achieve scenario B ?. You also mentioned that for scenario B , it works fine with pricing in CRM. Was the billing happening in CRM or ECC in that case ?.
    Did the scenario A worked ?.

    Hi Ashwini,
    Rebate Agreements are created for a Customer, the Partner role of the Customer can be Payer or Sold To, depending on the document where the Rebate is calculated.
    Rebate Agreements are governed by Agreement Types.
    Rebate Agreements can be created using the menu path-
    Logistics -> Sales and Distribution -> Master Data -> Agreements
    -> Rebate arrangement -> Create
    If you need more details, Please give ur mail id. I can send you a document to your mail.

  • Rebates agreements (extremely urgent)

    Dear SAP experts,
    I need your help in rebate agreements (RA).
    I have setup the condition tables for RAs to accept Sales Area, ship-to, and EAN (MARA-EAN11) as combination. Together with material determination table, it does a mapping/substitution whenever I create a sales order which works like a charm to map to the access sequences and conditions I have created.
    However, there is an issue with this setup. Each EAN can actually map to multiple MARA-MATNR (material numbers) depending on the MATNR lifecycle (i.e. 1 EAN to M MATNR).
    For instance, EAN 123456 can have material abc assigned to it today, but due to a product being pulled out of market, business reuses that EAN 123456 and assigns it to another MATNR later on. To ensure that the right EAN-MATNR combination happens at a time, the material determination table (MDT) was used as an approach.
    However, when I create RAs with condition type Sales Area, ship-to, and EAN (MARA-EAN11)  combination, the "material for settlements" field is required as input. As the "material for settlements" field is KONP-BOMAT with check table MARA, it is not possible for me to put in EAN for the material as it requires a MARA-MATNR field.
    One of the options I was thinking was to do a conversion using MDT prior to creation of RA. Note however that when the MDT data changes, there will be inconsistencies with what's happening in real life versus what was mapped: the RA's take the conversion from EAN -> MATNR based on the contents of the MDT at the point of RA creation, and do not get updated automatically even when other MATNR get assigned to the same EAN.
    My questions as follows:
    1. What is really the materials for settlement field? How does this field impact the creation of credit memos? How does this impact the settlements process?
    2. I would need to create an output report based on the rebates generated on EAN level. My understanding is that SAP is working on the MATNR level. Is there any way to go about this given the situation described above?
    3. Given that the data in the MDT changes against the FPC, is there any way to ensure that the EAN is the "key field" used for data processing in place of the MATNR field in the RA "material for settlement" field?
    4. Any advice on how EAN will impact RA creation, order, delivery, shipping, invoicing?
    Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

    hi
    Rebates Processs in SAP is divided into three components
    1) Configuring Rebates
    2) Setting Up Rebates
    3) Managing rebate agreeeements and payments
    Pre-requsiistes- Check the following:
    1.The payer partner needs toi have the rebate field checked in the customer master on the sales area-billing doc tab.
    2.The Billing type must be marked as relevant for rebates.
    3.The Sales Organisation must be marked as relevant for rebates.
    Condition Technique :
    Rebates, use the condition technique, but distinguish themselves from pricing in applying to transactions over time, versus on a transaction basis. Rebates have their wn field catalog and their own condition table naming convention.So you could have two condition table "001" one for pricing and one for rebates, which could have different key fields. You need to use the technical names A001 For pricing and KOTe001 for rebates when you use the query type using transaction SE 16..
    Use create access sequence (AS).  Enter 1 in field category for rebate specific.  AS after going thru the right path of maintaining access sequence for rebates.
    The big difference between the rebate and the pricing access sequence is that there is no exclsuion flag available for rebate related AS. This means multiple tables for an access sequence can be aplied at the same time.
    Rebate related condition types are identified by codnition class -C.
    After defining and creating condition types for rebated include them in the pricing proceedure. The requirement should be 24 here which implies that the accruals are calculated on the basis of invoice/bill.
    The other fields- alctyp and altcbv does not allow you to manipulate how a rebate is calculated. Also, remove the requiremnt 24, if u want to see reabtes at order time.
    Now payment of rebates:
    Payments can be maunal or in full settlement. When you do manual payments, it defines how much can be paid out during a partial settlemetn.  You use partial settlement only when rebate agreement is defined for a full year but the paoyouts are supposed to happen on a monthly, quarterly or anyother specified period.
    These accurals are based on sales volume and when they are posted billing is created int eh follwoing manner. Provision for accruals is debited and Sales revenue is credited. When rebate credit memo is created
       Customer account/ is debited and
       Accrual provision account is credited.
    Also, please note that when rebates are created without dependent ona material but on customer/material you need to refer to a material for settlement.

  • Accruals not updated for Changed Rebate agreement when VBOF  performed.

    Hi Pals,
    Need your assistance in solving an incident  . our client has changed the  valid to date  of the  rebate agreement on 29.04.2014  in VBO2  from 28.02.1014 to 31.12.2014, later it was observed that  the rebate accruals for the blling documents generated after 28.02.104 to till date were not updated even after running the report VBOF. There are 15000 invoices after 29.04.2014 , hence it is difficult to check which invoices carries my rebate condition type.
    hence pls advice on
    1. how to find out the invoices for the changed agreement .
    2. How to update the accruals for the invoices that were created after  28.02.2014 to till date.
    An early reply would be highly appreciated.

    Krishna.K

    Dear krishna
    i tried your scenario--so after changing the validity for my Material rebate agreement type--i ran VBOF(SDBONT06)--so system has shown the updated billing doc with rebate which was not having any rebate condition earlier.
    Have you tried by retrieving all the billing docs created after service render date of 28th Feb14.
    Please take all the billing docs created after this date from VBRK table and you check some random billings docs whether rebate condition type is active with condition record or not.
    (other wise you try with by executing condition record numbers in KONV(doc condition number--then followed by VBRK)
    pl update us..
