Generic product rebate processing

You can use generic product rebate processing for identical products that are sourced from multiple vendors. Generic product rebate processing bypasses the vendor matching requirement used in standard rebate processing, but uses all other standard rebate processing criteria to determine the best rebate for sale order line items.

When you set up a Level 1 Product, Vendor on Sale rebate record in PD Pricing Setup, you are required to specify a vendor. With standard rebate processing, a rebate qualifies for processing if the vendor on the rebate matches the authorized replenishment path (ARP) vendor for the sales order line item. Depending on the type of product, the ARP vendor is determined from the product warehouse record, catalog record, or nonstock sales order line.

With generic product rebate processing, Level 1 Product, Vendor on Sale rebates that meet these conditions qualify for processing:

• The sales order line item matches the product on the rebate record.
• The vendor on the rebate record allows generic rebates.

  Vendors that participate in the generic product rebate program are identified in Vendor Setup.

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 changes are required for existing PD Pricing Setup records.
