Generic product rebates available as manual rebates

You can now attach generic product rebates that are set up as manual rebates to sales order lines. Generic product rebates are Level 1 Product, Vendor on Sale rebates that are used for identical products that are sourced from multiple vendors. Manual rebates are Vendor on Sale rebates for contracts that you must manually attach to line items in Sales Order Entry. Manual rebates, which are created in PD Pricing Setup or Sales Order Entry, are not included in the standard rebate processing logic.

Generic product rebates can be applied to line items as a manual rebate when these conditions are met:

  • The Manual Rebate option is selected on the rebate record.
  • The sales order line item matches the product on the rebate record.
  • The vendor on the rebate record allows generic rebates.

If the ARP vendor for the product allows generic rebate processing, then the qualifying generic product rebates are listed on the Manual Rebate page that is accessible in the Advanced Line Entry mode in Sales Order Entry.

This enhancement and manual rebate processing for contracts is standard functionality that does not require activation.
