Calculating rebates with dependent agreements
You can set Supplier Rebate Agreements with inter-dependencies as detailed in section for defining Supplier Rebate Agreement Model. The functionality is optional and you can use it to determine which model line uses dependency, which sequence the dependent agreement is calculated, as well as which model line is used as a base model line.
See Supplier Rebate Agreement Model.
When using the dependency, the dependent agreement is calculated as a portion of the rebate rate of the base model line. In practice, the calculation base for the dependent line is the base model line with the base model line rebate amount subtracted. This is considered the net amount upon which the dependent agreement that is next in sequence, will apply the rebate rate to.
If Option 30 – Close agreement is run from (PPS477) and the specified agreement number is a base model line which has dependent agreements, the dependent agreements is also affected by the option in the exact same way as the base model agreement.
All update options performed from (PPS477) for a base model line which has dependent agreements cause the dependent agreements to take effected in the exact same way as the base model line, depending on which of the update options are used.
Any agreement that is a dependent agreement, meaning that it is connected to a base model line, cannot accrue independently of the base model line.
