An indirect rebate is a rebate earned or paid on a transaction by a party which is not one of the two trading partners directly involved in the transaction (e.g. is neither the purchaser nor the seller).
Enable supports two scenarios of indirect rebate for trading programs.
Scenario 1
In scenario 1, the end purchaser (contractor/customer) agrees a rebate with a manufacturer, but the sales of goods are transacted between the end purchaser and the distributor.
Typically in this example, the end purchaser is the owner of an Enable channel.
Scenario 2
In scenario 2, the distributor agrees rebate with the end purchaser, but the transaction occurs between the distributor and a contractor/customer.
For example, the distributor may give rebate to a contractor who is buying goods from them. However, the contractor is working for the house builder, and the house builder has separately negotiated further rebate to be paid directly to them by the distributor.
Typically in this example, the distributor is the owner of an Enable channel.
