Supplier Rebate Overview
Supplier rebates is the process by which the supplier offers incentives to the wholesaler or retailer to purchase more. These are the five basic steps for a wholesaler/retailer:
-
Supplier offers rebates for specific purchases.
-
Wholesaler/retailer buys from the supplier and supplier ships the goods.
-
Wholesaler/retailer receives the shipment of goods and invoice from the supplier. Accruals are typically earned upon receipt of supplier invoice for received goods.
-
Accruals are compiled into claims for review and approval.
-
The claims are settled by issuing debit memos (or payments against the supplier invoice for supplier rejections).
