Rebate Calculation Logic

Rebate logic has the following functions:

Calculate Rebate Agreement Line Item (RALI). Tasks of those elements are to:
- Create definitions of input fields for the line item.
- Calculate results of the line item.
- Create the Rebate Records for the line item.
Calculate Rebate Record (RR). Tasks of those elements are to:
- Calculate results of the Rebate Record.
- Optionally also:
  - Create definitions of input fields specific for the Rebate Record.
  - Create Payout Records for this Rebate Record and calculate their results.

There is only a single logic for both line item and Rebate Record calculations, so there is a mechanism to set up which code of which element serves which purpose/scenario. For example, a code of one element can be executed in two different scenarios – to calculate a result of a line item, and also to calculate a result of a rebate record. The reason for such design is that a big part of calculations performed on the line item are also performed on the Rebate Records, so this is the way to avoid duplication of code.

Logic API

Logic Nature: rebateAgreement
- Logic Type: Calculation/Pricing
Element Group (also called Calculation Contexts) – Every element of the logic can belong to one or more element groups which then determines in which scenario the code of the element will be used. The groups are:
- agreement – The element’s code will be executed for a Rebate Line Item (e.g. to define its inputs, calculate results).
- agreementReadOnly – The element’s code will be executed for a Line Item, but only if the Agreement is already approved and is "read-only". Such elements are executed when the user opens an approved agreement, so that the user can see e.g. new rebate estimations. But the calculation results are NOT stored.
- rebateRecord – The element’s code will be executed for a Rebate Record (i.e. to calculate results, create & calculate Payout Records).
- (no group selected) – When you do not assign the element into a specific group, then it is the same as if you would assign it into all 3 groups.

Execution Types – The code of logic elements can be executed in 5 different scenarios/purposes as a combination of execution mode and element group:
Information provided to the logic – Varies based on the scenario.
