Generic product rebates

A generic product rebate is vendor on sale rebate for a product that is replenished by a vendor that participates in the generic product rebate program. The program allows generic product rebates from other vendors that participate in the program to be used. Vendors that participate in the generic product rebate program are identified in Vendor Setup.

A generic product rebate can be applied to line item in Sales Order Entry without matching the ARP vendor for the product. Typically, the ARP vendor for a generic rebate product is determined by the Product Warehouse Product Setup record. All other criteria that are used by standard rebate logic to qualify a rebate for a line item must be met.

When a line item qualifies for a generic product rebate, the best generic product rebate is automatically applied using generic product rebate logic. Manual rebates with a vendor that allows generic product rebates are included in the list of available manual rebates for the product in Sales Order Entry. You must manually attach the manual rebate to the line item.

To use generic product rebates, select Allow Generic Product Rebates in SA Administrator Options-Products-Rebates. Then, select Use Generic Rebates in Vendor Setup-Ordering for those vendors that allow generic product rebates. No setup is required in PD Pricing Setup.
