I am new to rebates functionality and I am not fully understanding the impact of selecting any of these rebate program types on business process, Rebate and TMA appear very similar in their definition:
Rebate ─ The Rebate type is typically processed by sending a check to the customer or by deducting the rebate amount from the customer's invoice.
TMA ─ Trade & Merchandising Allowance (TMA) rebates accrue until they are passed on to the customer, which is usually by credit note.
Freight ─ Freight rebates accrue based on region and are not passed to the customer. They are used only for reporting.
Billback – Billback rebates are offered to wholesalers and distributors to cover the costs of a promotion. This rebate type is not available for customer rebate agreements.
Any further explanation or information would be much appreciated.
