Description
The program is used for settlement relating to rebate arrangements andto simulate settlement accounting. The rebate arrangements involved canbe selected using selection characteristics.

• Arrangements

Selection can be limited by entering the arrangement number and therebate recipient. Only those arrangements are selected for which thevalid-to date falls before the date entered in the Valid-to field onthe selection screen. The default date is today's date, so thatsettlement accounting is only performed for arrangements with avalid-to date in the past.

• Organizational data

The selection can be limited to particular sales organizations,distribution channels, or divisions. Only those arrangements areselected for which the organizational data corresponds to the specifiedentries.

• Status of the rebate arrangement

Only those arrangements are selected that have the specified status. Itis possible to select only those arrangements with the status "Releaseeffected", for example.
For arrangements with the status "Credit memo request created" and"Perform final settlement", it is only possible to simulate settlementaccounting.

• Promotions

The field "Perform final settlement" controls whether a credit memorequest is to be created for the selected rebate arrangements. A creditmemo request is only created if the arrangement has reached a certainstatus. If the parameter "Perform final settlement" is not selected,settlement is simulated, and the credit memo amounts are issued.
The field "Setlement statement" determines whether a statement ofbusiness volume is issued at the same time. The scope of suchstatements depends on the "scope of statement" that has been definedfor them in the rebate arrangement. There is also a function to displaythe statement from the list.
