Hi TW,
I tired automatic settlement and it created a credit memo with ZERO value. That part is correct as you mentioned.
But if the theory is correct and if that is captured in SAP then there has to be some place where we mention the "AGREED SALES VALUE / VOLUME" for which the rebate agreement is made.
Till now from all the responses which I have got, I believe that my main point is not being understood.
As per Glynn C. Williams
"This discount is based on the sales volume for the customer over a specific time period. The rebate is only relevant if the customer purchases the required sales volume."
All the theory says that rebate / retroactive discount is ONLY relevant if the customer purchases the REQUIRED SALES VOLUME.
If SAP is following the theory completely then there has to be some place where we can specify the REQUIRED SALES VOLUME.
