Restrictions
The solution contains these limitations:
- Agreements are set up with the assumption that negotiation and approval are managed outside of the application.
- The agreement type and supplier fields are restricted for change after the agreement is activated with or without existing accruals.
- The agreement selection process is based on the agreement’s priority number, considering the setup in Process Defaults.
- Period-based agreement is limited to a single supplier setup only. The use of supplier table is not handled.
- The user cannot manually indicate which agreement a purchase order should accrue for. It is automatically done.
- Purchase order transactions involving PO Line Sub Number such as kit items and partial deliveries is out of scope.
- Accruals are not automatically recalculated when an active agreement’s terms are changed. Recalculation can be triggered manually.
- When changing a purchase order, the related rebate agreement accrual in Infor M3 Supplier Rebate is updated automatically. No BOD update is triggered by the deletion of purchase transactions.
- Accrual values are converted to match the agreement’s currency and units of measure. Currency conversion method used is always multiplication. Alternate unit of measure conversion rates requires a multiplicative (type1) conversion form. Accrual records are not created when the necessary conversion rates are missing.
- No accrual record will be created for a purchase transaction when the accrual exceeds the valid agreement's maximum allowable accumulated rebate amount.
- A receipt BOD requires a corresponding PO record to create an accrual under a valid agreement.
- Claims are raised based on purchase orders with delivery receipts. Purchase invoices are not necessary.
- When a rebate is due for claiming, the user must manually trigger submitting of the claims. It will not be automatically submitted and sent to the supplier.
- Supplier rebate claims are not itemized.
- No facility for archiving agreements exist.
