Specify agreement lines by priority

Each incentive number has its own set of priorities and agreement lines. You must position the cursor on a specific incentive to set up its priorities and agreement lines.

  1. To add an agreement line, navigate to Agreement Lines grid.

    The priorities with field selection criteria setup are displayed across in Priority.

    Note: To view the saved priority setups, click the Priority drop-down list.
  2. Click Field Selection Priority.
    Note: If the accrual type used for this rebate agreement is period-based, Field Selection Priority button and Agreement Lines section are not needed, and therefore, disabled.

    You can set up to ten priorities for each incentive. Each priority is defined by the criteria that you specify.

  3. Provide values for each specified criterion (Fields 1-4) in the selected priority, as reflected in the agreement line.
    Fields 1 – 4
    Select a criterion from the list.

    Clicking the dropdown button of a user-defined field shows the names and corresponding source table information of the available criteria.

    Possible values include all columns from the Item master data table; warehouse type, warehouse subtype, warehouse facility, supplier number, payee, company group, and the user-defined fields from Supplier.Connect Item (PPS040).

    When selected, these values become the headers for the agreement lines grid.

    When Item Number is used as field selection criteria, the Item Description is displayed by default in the Agreement Line grid.
