• Key Concepts: 
  Rebate agreements are a type of contract between a vendor and a customer that allows the customer to receive a rebate or discount on goods or services purchased from the vendor. The agreement is typically based on the customer meeting certain criteria, such as purchasing a certain amount of goods or services within a certain period of time. The agreement can also be based on other factors, such as the customer's loyalty to the vendor.

To create a rebate agreement, you must first enter the details of the agreement, such as the customer name, start and end dates, and any criteria that must be met for the customer to receive the rebate. Once this information is entered, you can then enter the details of the rebate itself, such as the amount of the rebate and any conditions that must be met for it to be applied. Finally, you can save the agreement and it will be available for use in future transactions.
