In some application scenarios, it may be useful to allocate the values arising for the RMA buckets Planned Rebates, Unplanned Rebates and Price Differences to different plants.

An example of a typical application is the entering of price differences for a purchase order. In the Retail sector, it is usual practice for distribution centers to order merchandise centrally and distribute it to the individual plants (stores). The invoice verification now enables you to enter price differences with a reference to the purchase order. The price differences are then recorded at the distribution center, which appears useful within a limited framework only.

With the RMA CAL profiles you can specify whether and how such values should be allocated. You can store the distribution profile in the Customizing under RMA Settings for Distribution Chain or under RMA Settings for Company Code. In the first processing step, the system uses the settings for the distribution chain. If no specific Customizing setting is available here, the system uses the settings for the company code.

The following section explains the individual Customizing fields in detail:

The field shows a unique identification of the profile. Here, you can generate any entry in the customer namespace. The distribution profiles generated are used by the system as the second step for RMA Settings for Distribution Chain and for RMA Settings for Company Code.

The distribution type enables you to specify how the distribution should be performed. You can choose between Distribution using a Info-/MultiProvider, Equal Distribution, and Customer-Defined Distribution.

This item enables you to specify the InfoCube from which the system reads the reference data for a distribution. You can choose between a stock InfoCube, a sales InfoCube, or a goods movement InfoCube.

If the reference InfoCube you have selected uses an account model, you must specify the account characteristic. Account models identify values in detail by using a characteristic that defines key figures. Examples may include the use of a transaction key or a record quantifier.

If you have specified an account characteristic, you must also specify the value for the account characteristic.

The Key Figure 1 field specifies which value the system should read and use from the reference InfoCube. The Customizing allows you to select two key figures that the system uses in an additive way.

The Key Figure 2 field specifies which value the system should read and use from the reference InfoCube. The Customizing allows you to select two key figures that the system uses in an additive way.

The unit is relevant for the key figures used.

This field contains the period that the system uses for reading reference data from an InfoCube/MultiCube (REF_CUBE). The period is determined on the basis of the posting date of the source data record.

You have the following selection options:

Current period – use the current period for selecting reference data from the InfoCube.

1 Previous period – use the previous period for selecting reference data from the InfoCube.

If you want to allocate the RMA buckets mentioned above, create a distribution profile and use it in the Customizing for RMA Settings for Distribution Chain or RMA Settings for Company Code.
