Rebate Policy

Rebate Policy is a type of a discount offered on commodities purchased upon attainment of a certain communicated target.

On the attainment of the required target of the discount/rebate, the amount of the purchases should be recalculated to update the average cost of the commodity.

Rebates can be settled on the targeted amount of price or quantity.
