Create Accruals for Volume Programs

The Create Accruals for Volume Programs scheduled process checks eligibility of the invoice lines, aggregates, and creates channel program accrual entries for the eligible transactions. The process creates accruals for supplier annual programs and customer annual programs. A supply chain application administrator can create the channel accruals on demand or schedule it as a batch process on a periodic basis.

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

Unlike customer programs, customer annual programs don't create an accrual for each invoice line. Instead, qualified invoice lines are aggregated, and a single accrual is created. Invoice lines are aggregated by program, business unit, customer, bill to, item, UOM, currency, volume rule, and period. This is an important distinction from customer programs.

When to Use
