Whether to use multiple rebate agreements or single agreement per customer per company in a given time can be defined using this selection. The value will be default to company = “*” and rebate selection Agreement Priority upon creation of new customer. This means, when it is required to provide rebate for that customer, the agreement with highest agreement priority will be used for any company. For example if the customer has done purchases from company A and B the active agreement with highest priority for each company will be used to create rebate transactions for respective companies. You can change this basic setting, so that it is possible to set the behavior of how to use multiple active agreements in different companies. The default setting however is to use single highest priority active agreement per customer per company.
In the case of Agreement Priority option, the advantage is you can
decide what agreement to use in an ongoing rebate process. For example, if there
are 3 agreement active for this month and 3 agreement active for next month
for a customer, using this option, it can control what agreement to consider
in this month and what agreement in next month in rebate process if agreement
priorities are defined appropriately in rebate agreements.
Multiple Agreement
option will allow you to use all the active agreement per customer in the company
for that particular period to be considered for the rebate process.
For one sales activity there will be only one rebate transaction if the multiple rebate criteria is “Agreement Priority” since only one active agreement is considered. For one sales activity there will be multiple rebate transactions if the multiple rebate criteria is “Multiple Agreements” since all active agreement per customer are considered.
