Rebate program types, tiers, and benefit mappings
Key Takeaway
A rebate type's benefits are its tiers. The range decides which tier a member reaches, and Maximum Measure Field Value caps how much of the measure the tier pays on (blank means no cap). A benefit mapping between matching fields lets one tier pay different values by criteria such as product category.
A rebate is a payout given to partners, distributors, or customers after a sale, when they reach a goal based on sales volume, revenue, or growth. In Rebate Management, a rebate program holds one or more rebate types. Each rebate type has benefit tiers that set the qualifying ranges and payout values. Benefit mappings let those benefits vary by extra criteria such as product category. Together, these settings decide who earns a rebate and how much they earn.
Rebates and discounts
Unlike a discount, which is offered up front at the time of sale and simply lowers the list price, a rebate is paid after the sale and only when the partner reaches a specific goal. Rebates reward partners and encourage repeat business without low list prices. Low list prices can hurt how customers see a product's quality.
