Explanation
Rebate payouts are calculated based on the actuals and benefits of a rebate program. If the payout period is closed, the payouts are locked and cannot be edited. However, there are two methods to recalculate payouts after the payout period is closed:
Recalculate payouts due to changed benefits: This method is used when the benefits of a rebate program are changed after the payout period is closed. The system recalculates the payouts based on the new benefits and creates a charge or credit record to reflect the difference between the old and new payouts.
Recalculate payouts with no charge in benefits: This method is used when the benefits of a rebate program are not changed, but the actuals are updated after the payout period is closed. The system recalculates the payouts based on the updated actuals and creates acharge or credit record to reflect the difference between the old and new payouts.
