Negative Rebate Amount
The calculated rebate amount may be a negative value depending on the calculation method, calculation basis, rebate value, and rebate stackability.
The Allow Negative Rebate Calculation preference enables the system to show a negative rebate value on the transaction and calculates rebates on returns.
If the preference is not enabled, the negative amount for receiving rebates and positive amount for paying rebates are shown as zero.
A negative price pass-through amount is added to the item's rate, which increases the amount due on an invoice or other similar transactions.
A positive price pass-through amount is deducted from the item's rate.
To edit this preference, go to Setup > Company > General Preferences. On the Custom Preferences subtab, go to General field group, then check or clear the Allow Negative Rebate Calculation box as required. Changes apply to future transactions only.
If the settlement value is negative, NetSuite generates an alternative settlement transaction. For more information, see Settlement Methods.
