Rebate Agreements

You can process rebate agreements when the following prerequisite conditions are met:

- billing type (invoice, credit memo) is relevant for rebate processing
Condition types for rebate agreements:
BO01 - Customer/Material or Customer/Rebate group = % rebate
BO02 - Customer/Material = quantity dependent
BO03 - Customer = % rebate
BO04 - Customer hierarchy = % rebate
BO05 - Customer hierarchy/Material = % rebate
BO06 - Sales vol. independent
