This chapter provides an overview of the vendor rebate analysis workbench and discusses how to:
Define sales organizations.
Establish vendor rebate allocations.
Analyze vendor rebates.
The vendor rebate analysis workbench is a tool used to assist rebate managers with vendor rebate analysis. Using the vendor rebate analysis workbench a rebate manager can:
Manage earned rebates by keeping track of rebate allocations amongst sales organizations.
Analyze accumulative purchases and earned rebates for each vendor rebate agreement, which includes details of open purchase orders, receipts, and vouchers that have been associated to the vendor rebate agreement.
View the next rebate level approaching a threshold.
View transactional information from accrued rebate details.
Generate reports of threshold analysis and open purchase order information.
Extract accrued rebate transaction data to a flat file.
Note. The accuracy of the rebate information available for vendor rebate analysis is dependent on the Rebate Accrual process and how often you perform that process. The volume of information to be processed by the Rebate Accrual process can be very large and the processing time could take awhile. PeopleSoft recommends you determine an appropriate frequency for the run of the process so that business requirements are met and the process is able to complete in a reasonable amount of time.
