Clearing house/card type discounts include any rebate on payment card transactions offered to the oil company by a clearing house or fleet card company. The discount functionality allows the oil company to bill the clearing house or fleet card company for these discounts either when clearing house processing is carried out or at a later point in time.

Example

  1. For one of the card types that it accepts from your company, the clearing house offers a rebate of .10 per transaction that is authorized online. The clearing house wants you to bill them monthly for this amount.
  2. The fleet card company offers a rebate of .15 per fuel item transacted using its fleet card. The fleet card company wants this discount amount to be included in the bill that you send them whenever you settle with them.

Requirements

You must maintain pricing conditions for the discount, and prices for the conditions.

You must maintain these conditions in the appropriate pricing procedure.

SAP delivers a standard pricing setup for discounts in the standard Customizing template delivered.

Standard settings

In the Maintain Discounts step, you must define the combination of clearing house/fleet card company, company code and card type for which the discount applies. If it applies to several card types sent to one clearing house, then a separate line must be maintained for each.

You must select whether you want to include the discount amount in the billing document created each time you settle with the fleet card company/clearing house (enter '1'), or whether you want to accrue the discount amount determined at settlement time and bill the clearing house/fleet card company later (enter '2').

You must select a business add-in filter that determines the number of discounts that you will receive.

Two standard implementations are provided:

  • OIRE_COUNTTRANS - counts the number of payment card transactions being settled.
  • OIRE_COUNTITEMS - counts the number of items included in each payment card transaction being settled.

If you require a different determination of the payment card transactions that qualify for a discount, you must define your own implementation. You can copy the coding of one of the above implementations and change it to suit your needs.

If you wish to use timing selection '2' for discount recording, Customizing for standard rebate processing has to be set up, and a rebate agreement must be created for each customer (clearing house or fleet card company). Rebate processing allows you to create settlements for your rebate agreements using the amounts that were accrued at clearing house settlement time.

For more information about defining rebate agreements, choose Billing -> Rebate Agreements in the IMG for Sales and Distribution.
