Adding Agreement Details

The agreement details record lets you specify the values for each customer and item attribute you selected in the Rebate Preferences record. One rebate agreement can hold multiple agreement details and displays ten records at a time.

You can also import multiple agreements details into NetSuite using CSV import. See Importing Agreement Details Using a CSV File.

To add agreement details:

  1. Go to Rebate Management > Rebate Agreements > Rebate Agreements.

  2. On the Rebate Agreements List, click Edit beside the rebate agreement that you want to edit.

    If you are adding agreement details on a new rebate agreement, click Edit after saving the record.

  3. Go to the Agreement Details subtab and then click Add Agreement Details.

  4. In the Agreement Details popup window, select or enter the required information in the following fields:

    Field

    Description

    Customer Criteria

    Inclusion

    Select one or more customer values to include in the agreement details. The selected customer inclusions are considered in the rebate calculation.

    If you do not select a value, the system includes all values in the customer inclusion criteria.

    Exclusion

    Select one or more customer values to exclude from the rebate calculation.

    If you do not select a value, none of the customers from the exclusion list gets excluded in the rebate calculation.

    Item Criteria

    Inclusion

    Select one or more item values to include in the agreement details. The selected item inclusions are considered in the rebate calculation.

    If you do not select a value, the system includes all values in the item inclusion criteria.

    Important:

    When you select an Item Group, be sure to include the components of that item group. Rebates are populated only for individual components, not on the parent item.

    Note:

    In the agreement details, the values of the parent company and its subsidiaries are sourced from the selected subsidiary or primary subsidiary of the rebate preferences record.

    You can include a particular subsidiary to the customer or item criteria, and exclude another subsidiary from the same parent company.

    Exclusion

    Select one or more item values to exclude from the rebate calculation.

    If you do not select a value, none of the items from the exclusion list gets excluded in the rebate calculation.

    UOM (Inclusion)

    This is a multi-select field. The values you select are used to identify which unit of measures are applicable for the selected item inclusions.

    After you select All or multiple units belonging to different unit types, you can also select a unit for each of those unit types in the Calculation UOM field. The default value in this field is All.

    Accounting Information

    Calculation Method

    Select a method to use for calculating rebates.

    • Flat Amount – The amount entered is rebated for each unit purchased or sold. Flat Amount is not dependent on calculation basis. The rebate amount is calculated as follows:

      Calc = calc amount * item quantity

    • % Calculation – A percentage of the cost basis is rebated, or a percentage of the rebate cost amount entered on the rebate agreement for the item is refunded. The rebate amount is calculated as follows:

      Calc = (calc basis * calc amount) * item quantity

    • Fixed Cost – The difference between the calculation basis and the calculation amount. The rebate amount is the difference between the amount paid on the transaction and the amount entered on the agreement. The rebate amount is calculated as follows:

      Calc = (calc basis – calc amount) * item quantity

    • Guaranteed Profit % – The purchaser is guaranteed the rebate percentage as margin or profit. The rebate amount is calculated as follows:

      Calc = {calc basis – [sales rate * (1 – % calc amount)]} * (item quantity)

    • Volume Amount – Rebates are calculated for sales transactions when a target monetary tier has been reached.

    • Volume Quantity – Rebates are calculated for sales transactions when a target quantity tier has been reached.

    Calculation Amount

    Enter the amount to use for calculating rebates. This value is based on the selected calculation method.

    If you select % Calculation or Guaranteed Profit % in the calculation method, the number you enter in this field is interpreted as a percentage value.

    Calculation Basis

    Select a calculation basis for calculating rebates.

    Note:

    If you select a Flat Amount in the calculation method, a calculation basis is not needed. The system uses the flat amount value in the agreement details when calculating the rebate amount.

    • Average Cost – This type uses a calculated average cost of the units purchased. If the Multi-Location Inventory feature is enabled, NetSuite calculates the average cost per location.

    • Last Purchase Price – This type calculates the estimated cost based on the last purchase price of the item within the transaction subsidiary or location. The cost is converted to the transaction currency using the exchange rate of the transaction subsidiary.

    • Purchase Price – This type uses the purchase price paid for the item. If no price is entered, this type uses the most recent purchase price by default.

    • Item Defined Cost – This type converts the cost in the item record to the transaction currency using the exchange rate of the transaction subsidiary.

    • Transaction Price – This type uses the sales amount or the selling price of an item. When you use Guaranteed Profit % with Transaction Price, the calculation uses the sales rate as the transaction price. The calculated rebate amount is shown as zero.

    • Rebate Cost – This type uses the fixed amount value entered in the Rebate Cost field of the agreement details. This cost is a user-defined value.

    • Preferred Vendor Rate – This type converts the item's purchase price for the transaction subsidiary's preferred vendor to the transaction currency using the exchange rates of the transaction subsidiary. If no rate is available, the Purchase Price estimate type is used.

    • Derived from Member Items- This type uses the cost basis as sum of the estimated costs of each item in the kit/assembly, based on each of their individual Cost Estimate Types. Applicable for Kits and Assemblies

    For more information, see Cost Estimate Types in NetSuite OneWorld.

    Rebate Cost

    Enter the rebate cost value. This value is used to calculate rebates when Rebate Cost is selected as the calculation basis.

    Price Pass-through Type

    Select whether the price pass-through is calculated using a flat amount or a percentage value.

    Note:

    Price pass through is not applicable for volume rebates.

    • Percent (%) – A percentage of the calculated rebate amount is passed on to the customer as a discount.

    • Flat Amount – A specific amount is passed on to the customer as a discount. The amount is deducted from the calculated sales price.

    Price Pass-through Value

    Enter a specific amount or percentage value that is deducted from the customer's sales price.

    If you select Percent % as the price pass-through type, the number you enter in this field is interpreted as a percentage value.

    Calculation UOM

    The selected units of measure are used for calculating rebates on item inclusions. If you do not select a unit, the system uses the item's primary sale unit to define the cost used for calculating rebates.

    Note:

    UoM selection is applicable only for calculation scenarios where the calculation basis is dependent on the rate or cost defined by users.

    This field is only applicable to following calculation methods and basis impacted by the UOM functionality:

    • Percentage Calculation (Rebate Cost)

    • Fixed Cost (All calculation basis)

    • Guaranteed Profit (Rebate Cost)

    • Flat Amount

    • Volume Quantity

    • Volume Amount (Rate per Unit)

    If a unit is not part of the UOM inclusions you have selected, the system automatically includes the unit type in the selected UOM inclusions.

    The Calculation UOM field is hidden for unsupported calculation methods and calculation basis combinations.

    Rebate Tiers

    Rebate Scheme

    Select the type of calculation for rebate tiers.

    • Marginal- Calculates the rebate for each bracket individually.

    • Linear- Determines the rebate by the rate of the highest bracket.

    Rebate Value Type

    Select if a rebate to be given is a flat rate per unit or a percentage of the transaction price.

    • Rate per Unit- Calculates the rebate by multiplying an item quantity with the applicable rebate tier value of a transaction.

    • Percentage- Calculates the rebate as a percentage of the transaction amount or quantity.

    Note:

    The UoM for tiers are applicable for the following calculation methods:

    • Volume Quantity- Percentage

    • Volume Quantity- Rate per Unit

    • Volume Amount- Rate per Unit

    If you do not select a calculation UoM, the system uses the default sale unit of an item in calculating the cumulative rebate amount.

    Aggregate

    Check this box to combine multiple item criteria for each customer to qualify for a given tier.

    Minimum

    Enter a positive quantity or value for the Minimum tier field.

    Tier 1 is automatically set as the default tier.

    Maximum

    Enter a positive quantity or value for the Maximum tier field.

    The maximum tier field is the maximum value or quantity applicable to any given tier.

    Rebate Value

    Enter a positive value for the Rebate Value field. A rebate value can be a flat amount or a percentage of the transaction amount.

    Default Tier

    For Linear Rebate type, select the default tier. The value on the default tier is what the system uses when applying estimated rebates for a transaction.

    For Marginal Rebate type, the lowest tier is automatically set as the default tier.

    Comments

    Enter relevant information for rebate tiers.

  5. Click Save.

    A corresponding agreement detail ID is populated in the Agreement Details subtab to indicate the sequence in which agreement details are created.

    If you change the agreement details, those changes apply to future transactions only. You can also remove unused agreement details from the rebate agreement. See Editing Rebate Agreements and Agreement Details.
