Rebate Record Logic – Specific Actions

Large part of the calculation of RR’s results is the same as for the line item. Those logic elements will be shared between the line item and rebate record.

In this sections we will describe only things specific for the rebate records.

Rebate record logic specifics:

• Code is in the logic elements with the Calculation Context RebateRecord.

• This code gets access to additional information via:

  • Binding variables:

    • calculationBase – Holds a filter which finds the sales transactions related to this rebate record.

      • This filter will later be used by the Allocation process, but can be also used by the logic which calculates results for the RR.

      • The filter is of type DMDataSlice/DatamartContext.DataSlice.

      • The filter is pre-populated by the system automatically when you create the RR, but you can change it.

  • Methods:

    • api.currentItem() – Returns data (as map) of the currently calculated rebate record.

Rebate Record Logic Results Mapping

The results calculated by the logic in the context of rebate records are stored in a field called calculationResults which is a Map with key-value pairs.

For easier processing, it is handy to map some of those results to the "attribute#" fields of the RR. Usually you want to keep in the "attribute#" fields only data which you are going to export or use in the allocation process.
