Comprehensive Rebate Payments Procedures for Efficient Trade Programs
Organizations can use this sample policy to identify rebate payments to be made and calculate the appropriate payment value. Rebate payments are remitted to a customer for a trade promotion program. This policy covers both Tier 1 (operator/distributor) and Tier 2 (indirect via a distributor) customers. Tier 1 customers receive either deductions (via credit memo) or payments (via check). Tier 2 customers receive payments.
According to this policy, a master listing of rebate payments to be processed must be monitored monthly. Monitoring this listing will help ensure the completeness of rebate payment processing.
