Calculate Accruals for Customer Volume Programs based on Stepped Calculation Method
Customer volume rebate programs accrue rebates based on cumulative sales volumes across orders. You can define percentage rebates based on sales value attainment tiers, or on amount per unit rebates based on the sold quantity in attainment tiers. This release introduces a stepped calculation method where higher rebates are applied to sales in higher tiers. The retrospective calculation method was introduced in the prior release.
