Understanding Supplier Proof-of-Sale Rebates

Supplier proof-of-sale rebates enable a distributor to receive a rebate from the supplier when the distributor sells a certain amount of the supplier's item to a customer. For example, a supplier can promote a new product by offering a rebate to a distribution center when the distribution center sells the new product to a targeted customer or customer group.

This table defines the two methods for awarding a supplier proof-of-sale rebate to a distribution center or individual:

Method

Definition

Accounts Receivable Invoice (Debit Memo)

Using the debit memo method, you run the Generate Rebate Claims batch program to generate the sales order. This program uses the supplier's Address Book number as the sold-to customer. Through the sales order, the supplier settles the rebate by paying the invoiced amount to the distribution center or the individual.

Accounts Payable Credit (Credit Order)

Using the credit order method, you run the Generate Rebate Claims batch program to generate a credit order in the Accounts Payable Ledger. The distribution center or individual can offset the credit against payments that are owed to the supplier, or transfer the credit to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Receivable system to generate an invoice.

You award supplier proof of sales rebates through the Sales Order Entry program. On the Price History form, when you select the Hide/Show Sup Proof (hide/show supporting proof) option from the Form menu, the system displays the proof-of-sale rebate on the sales order line.

Note: You should cancel unwanted adjustments. However, to delete an adjustment on a sales order line that also has a supplier proof-of-sale rebate, you must show the supplier proof-of-sale adjustment before you can delete adjustments on that sales order line.

The system uses these AAIs for supplier proof-of-sale rebates:

  • 4515: Rebate Accrual

  • 4520: Rebate Receivable

After you complete a sales order, you must run the Sales Update batch program (R42800) to post the rebate to the general ledger. This program updates the F4078 and F4079 tables. The system also uses these tables for processing supplier rebates:

  • F4071

  • F4074

  • F40UI74
