Schedule the Mass Creation of Accruals for Volume Programs

The Create Accruals for Volume Programs process determines qualified transactions, aggregates, and creates accruals based on tier attainments across orders.

This is a separate scheduled process because, unlike supplier rebates, we don't create an accrual for each invoice line. Instead, we aggregate qualified invoice lines and create a single accrual. Invoice lines are aggregated by business unit, program, volume rule, invoice period, item, ship-to location, bill-to location, and alternate supplier site if applicable. This is an important distinction from supplier rebates.
