The rebate calendar¶
The rebate calendar (sidebar Financials → Rebate Calendar,
/rebate/calendar) is a read-only, year-at-a-glance schedule of rebate
earnings — money due to or received by the member/group — laid out by
month and split into paid, confirmed-but-unpaid, and (optionally)
projected. It answers "what rebate income lands in which month?"
The sidebar link requires the member or figures role, a client
version of 3.7.0 or later, and the site's advanced-projections setting.
What it shows¶
- A calendar view — a stacked column chart by month (paid, unpaid, and projected series), where clicking a month lists each rebate in it with supplier, deal, period, frequency, confirmed/projected and paid/unpaid badges, and the amount.
- A by-supplier view — expandable supplier cards with a 12-month grid per deal.
- Four summary cards: total, confirmed (actual), projected, and paid.
Controls: projections on/off, year selector, the date basis (due date vs period end), a paid/unpaid/all filter, and — for those allowed group data — a My data / Group data toggle. It is purely a visualization: there are no payment actions here (those live on the rebate management dashboard).
Whose figures you see¶
The amount each user sees is role-gated in the query:
figures-role users see the whole-group payable figure and can switch between group and their own member data.- Everyone else is restricted server-side to their own company's member payable — the query appends a hard filter on the viewer's company, and the group-data toggle is hidden. The distinction is silent; the labels just read "My data" / "Group data".
Why does the calendar change unexpectedly¶
- Amounts moved between months — the date-basis toggle (due date vs period end) buckets the same rebates differently.
- Projected bars appeared or grew — the projections toggle is on, or new turnover changed the projections; projected figures are estimates, not confirmed income.
- A month's total changed with no payment — rebates were recalculated after new turnover, or a payment moved a bar from unpaid to paid.
- A figures user and a member see different totals — by design: group payable vs own-member payable.
What the rebate calendar is not¶
- Not the rebate management dashboard — that is the actionable payment grid; the calendar only visualizes the schedule.
- Not an accounts-payable calendar — it shows rebate income (receivable), not outgoing supplier payments.
- Not the deal dashboard rebate cards — those are per-deal; the calendar spans all deals.
