• Key Concepts: 
  Rebate settlement is a process in SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) that allows customers to receive rebates for their purchases. Rebates are discounts that are given to customers for meeting certain criteria, such as purchasing a certain amount of goods or services. The rebate settlement process is used to track and manage these discounts. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP SD, the rebate settlement process is initiated by creating a rebate agreement. This agreement outlines the criteria for receiving the rebate, such as the amount of goods or services purchased, and the amount of the discount. Once the agreement is created, it can be used to track customer purchases and calculate the amount of the rebate that is due. The rebate can then be paid out to the customer. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a rebate agreement, it is important to ensure that all of the criteria for receiving the rebate are clearly outlined. This will help ensure that customers receive the correct amount of discount and that any discrepancies can be easily identified and resolved.
