• Key Concepts: 
  Partial settlement is a feature of the CRM-RB Rebate Processing component of SAP. It allows for the partial settlement of a rebate agreement, meaning that only a portion of the total rebate amount is settled at one time. This can be useful when dealing with large rebate agreements, as it allows for more flexibility in terms of payment. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Partial settlement can be enabled in the CRM-RB Rebate Processing component by setting up a partial settlement rule. This rule defines the criteria for when a partial settlement should be triggered, such as when a certain amount of rebate has been earned or when a certain period of time has elapsed. Once the rule is set up, the system will automatically trigger a partial settlement when the criteria are met. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a partial settlement rule, it is important to consider the timing of payments and how they will affect cash flow. For example, if payments are made too frequently, it could lead to cash flow issues. On the other hand, if payments are made too infrequently, it could lead to delays in receiving payments.
