Description
The program is used for settlement accounting in respect of rebatearrangements and for simulation of settlement. The relevant rebatearrangements can be chosen via selection parameters.

• Volume rebate arrangements

Selection can be limited via the number of the arrangement and therebate recipient. Only those rebate arrangements are selected whosevalidity end date is earlier than the "Validity end before" date on theselection screen. The default date is the current date, in order thatsettlement accounting is only effected for rebate arrangements whosevalidity end date lies in the past.

• Organization data

Selection can be limited to certain sales organizations, distributionchannels or divisions. Only those rebate arrangements whoseorganization data lies within the specified range are selected.

• Status of rebate arrangement

Only rebate arrangements that have reached the specified status areselected. For example, it is possible to select only those rebatearrangements that have reached the status "Release effected".
For rebate arrangements with the status "Credit memo request issued" or"Final settlement effected", settlement is merely simulated.

• Actions

The field "Perform final settlement" determines whether a credit memorequest is created for the selected rebate arrangements. A credit memorequest is only generated if the rebate arrangement has reached acertain minimum status. If the parameter "Perform final settlement" isnot set, settlement is simulated and the credit memo amounts outputted.
The field "Issue statement" determines whether a statement of businessvolume is outputted at the same time. The scope of such statementsdepends on the "scope of statement" that has been defined for them inthe rebate arrangement. There is also a function to display thestatement from the list.

Rebate settlement in batch mode (in the background)
It is possible to start the rebate settlement. For this purpose, youonly have to create a selection variant for this program RV15C001 andschedule a job.

Precondition
For rebate settlement to be effected, the rebate arrangement must havereached its minimum status.

Output
The output shows important data relating to the rebate arrangement,such as rebate recipient, validity period, or the arrangement status.
All the conditions relating to the rebate arrangement are displayed.For each condition, the scale and condition basis and the resultingcondition amount and credit memo value are displayed.
You can branch from the list into the rebate arrangement. In addition,in simulation mode, you can display the status of the arrangement.

Example
Settlement accounting is to be carried out in respect of all rebatearrangements for rebate recipient 1000 for the year 1995. Only thoserebate arrangements that have already been released are to beprocessed. The following selection data must be entered:


• Rebate recipient 1000

• X Perform final settlement

All other fields remain empty. It is sensible to limit selection tothe organization data.
