 Rebate Management allows businesses to create and manage rebate programs that reward their partners for meeting sales targets. A rebate program consists of a rebate type, which defines the incentive structure, and a rebate agreement, which specifies the eligible partners and products. A rebate type benefit is a component of a rebate type that defines the thresholds of an incentive and how payouts are scaled for varying quantities and amounts. A benefit tier is a subcomponent of a rebate type benefit that specifies a range of sales targets and applicable benefit values. The minimum and maximum range values of a benefit tier must be positive integers and must not overlap with other benefit tiers in the same benefit. Therefore, the sequence of 0 to 100 is valid, while the other sequences are not. References: Rebate Management, Create and Manage Rebate Programs, Rebate Management Workflow

One of the methods to calculate Actuals for sales agreements is to automatically derive them from direct orders. A direct order is an order that is created from the related list of a sales agreement record. A daily automated process calculates the product quantity fulfilled in each activated order, and then updates that quantity in the sales agreement. This method allows you to track the actual performance of your sales agreements based on the orders placed by your customers or partners. You can also use other methods to calculate Actuals, such as importing quantities from external sources, or using orders associated with contracts. References: Create Orders to Calculate Sales Agreement Actuals, How Are Sales Agreement Actuals Calculated?

 Account and market growth percentages are values that account managers can enter to indicate the expected growth of their account and the market for their products in the upcoming period. These values are used in the forecast formula to calculate the forecast quantity and revenue for future periods. The new values are used in forecasting the future periods only when the account and market growth percentages are part of the forecast formula. If the forecast formula does not include these values, then editing them will not affect the forecast calculation. References: Create Accurate Account Forecasts, Configure Forecast Metrics and Formulas
