Rebate Type defines which logic will be used to calculate a particular Rebate Type and what parameters (in attributes columns) will be available to the logic when it is executed.
Whether you use a separate logic for various Rebate Types or the same logic depends on how much different the processes behind the various Rebate Types are.
Fields
-
uniqueName – Identifier name, given by an implementation engineer.
-
label – Name of the Rebate Type, visible to business users when selecting a type of a new line on a Rebate Agreement.
-
formulaName – Rebate logic. This logic is used to calculate:
-
RBALI – Rebate Agreement line item – for draft / editable document
-
RBALI – Rebate Agreement line item – for approved/read-only document
-
RR – Rebate Record
-
-
rebateRecordGroupFormulaName - Logic used to recalculate Rebate Record Group of Rebate Records created from this Rebate Type. (Available from Pricefx version 12.0)
-
waterfallElement (optional) – Stands for a name of a waterfall element which will contain the rebate money amount calculated by this Rebate Type.
The actual usage of this setting is up to the implementation engineer who uses this value in a logic (e.g. in the Rebate Line Item logic).
-
attribute1..30 (optional) – These attributes contains "settings" values used by the rebate logic to calculate results in a specific way. Mostly it is used in this way: implementation engineer creates a rebate logic which can handle several different Rebate Types and the particular behavior for the specific Rebate Type is driven by the value in the attributeX column.
