Sap Sale Module: Re: [sap-log-sd] Different Discounts Based on Payment Performance

Thank you very much for your response. I will try to work on your suggestions.

I will also check the implications of following this configuration (if we get the desired results), like reporting, based on what the client wants.

However, I am a dummy when it comes to requirements, I will take the help of my ABAPer. But, please correct me if I didn't get you right. Your suggesting to go a new requirement which deactivated rebate upon finding a condition record for discount. But, there is already an existing requirement (24). Can you please suggest as to how we can use two requirements for the same condition type?

I have requested my FI team to check if there is any possibility of having multiple discounts in payment terms. They are yet to revert. Again they have suggested that reporting becomes an issue as we would be using only one payment terms for various discounts.

I haven't yet asked this question in Accounting forum as I still haven't got a clarity from my own team if we can proceed in one direction. Probably, I will post the same tomorrow.

Thank you very much for your fantastic support. Your help is most appreciated. I will keep you posted about the status.

Warm regards,
Saratvamsi

Subject: Different Discounts Based on Payment Performance

Sarat,

For this additional requirement, my initial thoughts are as follows -

1. Create payment terms ZZ01 with X% - if customer pays within five days (thereafter NO cash discount) in OBB8.

2. In your pricing procedure, as requirement; (in the line of) for Rebate condition type - similar to / take reference as BO03; you would have create/ copy&create a routine in VOFM, Requirements>Pricing; in which basically command system to -
Deactivates ZB03 when ZZ01 = X%
Activates ZB03 when ZZ01 = 0%
along with requirement 24, already present for rebate condition types in the pricing procedure.

3. Setup rebate agreement, and settlement material.

Concept here is, if the system retrieves a valid condition record of a rebate condition type then accrual and sales volume are "accumulated / noted" in the rebate agreement. Thus when SKTO or ZZ01 is retrieved, ZB03 shall NOT be retrieved.
Only when SKTO or ZZ01 is NOT retrieved, ZB03 shall be retrieved and sales volume and accrual shall be noted in the rebate agreement.

4. Test.

Further, I have asked about our small doubt (SKTO changing from 10% to 8% to depending upon payment date of customer). Not crystal clear about it though. Read below helpful link -

Have you got any input about it (from accounting forum)? What does your FI colleague say?

Good luck!
