Vendor rebate overview

Rebate Arrangement is contract that is made between the vendor & the buyer for giving certain percentage/value of discounts by vendor on purchase over a particular value/quantity of material.

These discounts are stored in the system as “Rebate arrangements”

These Rebates arrangements are having validity and we can extend the validity of such an arrangement to cover a longer time-span or “until further notice”. For example, an arrangement created for one calendar year can be automatically replaced by a new, identical one that is valid for the following calendar year.

Levels for Vendor Rebates

Purchasing Organization based rebates –

In this case rebate arrangements are created based on purchasing organization/vendor/material/company code combination. But Purchasing organization should be assigned to company code.

Plant based rebates –

In this case rebate arrangements are created based on purchasing organization/vendor/material/company code combination. In this case it is not required to have Purchasing organization assigned to company code. We need to use this rebate type as in EL purchasing organizations are assigned to plant.

Conditions and Discounts

Value based conditions (Scales) –

During a certain period if purchase value of certain materials exceeds the defined limit then discounts will come into picture.

Quantity based conditions (Scales) –

During a certain period if purchase quantity of certain material exceeds the defined limit then discount will come into picture.

These discounts are in the form of percentage, quantity or fixed value etc. depending on

Calculation type in condition type and business requirements

Note: Apart from Value and quantity scales there are other options as well e.g. Gross weight, Net weight, volume, distance etc.

Vendor rebate options –

Rebate Arrangement at Vendor/Material group level –If a vendor is supplying range of materials belonging to same material group for different plant then only one rebate arrangement needs to maintained for one material group.

Rebate Arrangement at Vendor/multiple materials – If a vendor is supplying range of materials belonging to different material group for different plant then only one rebate condition record needs to maintained for range of materials.

Option of quantity scale vs. value scale – Option to have rebate scales based on quantity procured during specified period.

AP payment procedure to vendor in case of rebates – Payments to the vendors are made by deducting rebate amount from total due.

Message to vendor about settlement – 1. Rebate Arrangement creation 2. Rebate settlement run

Rebate partner assignment (Different invoicing party for main vendor) – If ordering vendor is different than invoicing party and payments are going to invoicing party. Then rebate amount has to be debited to invoicing party. This scenario we can map in SAP

Required Configuration data

If P.Orgs assigned to plant not to company code. Then we can not use standard Rebate agreement type. We need to create custom agreement type.
