If I need to make a rebate for a customer what is the process involved.

I am providing some info on rebates which I know.

Rebate agreemnts is based on agreement types.Conditon records which are created like B001 and B002 are linked to the rebate agreeements specifying the rebate rate + the accrual rates.condition records specify the rebate rate and the accrual rates.

Consider an example..

You decided to give a rebate of 3% to a customer whose sales vol is $1000 for a particular SO
Then the rebate value is $30..

Now when you make the rebate settlement by doiing the Credit memo and you decide to pay $27, then the accounting will be generated saying  27$ paid towards rebate and 3$ is the accrual which you owe to the customer

Procedure:
Rebate agreement: Transaction code: VB01
When you go to VB01, choose agreement type 0002 and then in conditions give
Material     rebate
1                 20
20               30

Now create a sales order with a material say M-11 for SOrg 1000 12 00 with QTY 6

Now check VB03 and see rebate agreemtent it will say Accruals 120 and payments 0
since your rebate is not settled still.

Rebate setllement
Go to VB02 enter ur sales deal no, and change the agreemetn status to B then enter Shift+F12 and enter the amount to be paid for example u say $80

Then check in rebate payments rebate doc and partial setllemetn since you have not paid in full.

View the credit memo request
Remove the Billing bloock Go to VA01 and put order type G2 ,,,go to create with ref and enter ur Sales order no,,,save the doc now...

Then go to VF01 and enter the credit memo reqst no generated...save the doc no and go to VF02 and say release to accounting

Now the final settlement will be this way

Accruals:120
Accrual reversed:80
Rebate pay:80
Amount payable:40

So the balance 40 is still the accrual

This is an example how a rebate will be processed with ref to a SO with an example.
