SAP Note 24368 - Vol.-based rebate: Exclusive indicator in access sequence

Symptom:

• If the 'Exclusive' field is used during access sequences for volume-based rebate, the exclusive indicator is not considered during pricing or during the rebate payment.

Cause and prerequisites

Program error

Solution
The exclusive indicator cannot be dealt with easily in the case of rebates.

In Release 3.0A, this field has been deactivated.

Basis/Example (in case the exclusive indicator will be used):

For a volume-based rebate condition type (e.g. BO01), an access sequence is stored that refers to two condition tables. The exclusive indicator is set for the first access (e.g. A601):

1.Access e.g. table A601 then
2.Access table A602

In the next stage, a annual agreement is created (e.g. 1) on the first of January, which contains a condition record from table A602. Sales volume is calculated for agreement 1.
If a second agreement (2) is created the first of June, containing a condition record from table A601: agreement 2 implicitly influences agreeemnt one via the exlusive indicator.
As soon as the condition record has been created in agreement 2 for table A601, the record in table A602 is no longer relevant for agreement 1 ( due to the exclusive indicator ) and alters the sales volume in agreement 1 (this is undesirable).
To avoid this, exclusive indicators can not be used for access sequences that are relevant for volume-based rebate.

The access sequences for volume-based rebates need to be edited, and theexclusive indicator should be cancelled.
