  Error Message
  WY018 LIFNR/EKORG &/& not subject to volume-based rebate
  
  LIFNR = Vendor Number
  EKORG = Purchasing Organization
  
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to apply a volume-based rebate for a vendor (LIFNR) and purchasing organization (EKORG), but the combination is not maintained or flagged as eligible for volume-based rebates in the system.
  In other words, the vendor and purchasing organization combination does not have a valid rebate agreement or condition record that allows volume-based rebates.
  
  Explanation
  
  Volume-based rebates are typically set up in SAP to provide discounts or rebates based on the volume of goods purchased from a vendor.
  The system checks if the vendor and purchasing organization are configured to participate in such rebate agreements.
  If the vendor/purchasing org combination is not maintained in the rebate master data or condition records, the system throws this error when trying to calculate or post a rebate.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Rebate Agreement Setup:
  
  Verify if a rebate agreement exists for the vendor and purchasing organization.
  Use transaction MEK1 / MEK2 / MEK3 (Maintain / Change / Display Conditions) to check if volume-based rebate conditions are maintained for the vendor and purchasing org.
  
  
  
  Maintain Vendor-Purchasing Org in Rebate Master Data:
  
  If missing, create or update the rebate agreement to include the vendor and purchasing organization.
  Ensure that the rebate condition type used supports volume-based rebates.
  
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data:
  
  Verify if the vendor is flagged or set up correctly for rebate processing.
  Sometimes, vendor master data or purchasing info records may need to be updated.
  
  
  
  Check Purchasing Organization Assignment:
  
  Confirm that the purchasing organization is correctly assigned and active for the vendor.
  
  
  
  Review Rebate Condition Records:
  
  Ensure that the condition records for volume-based rebates are valid and cover the relevant periods.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes / Documentation:
  
  If the problem persists, check SAP Notes or OSS for any known issues related to rebate processing.
