The starting point for rebates is a project, which is a collection of rebate rules. You typically use a project to organize rules.
A project is based on a Phocas database and stream, which means you will need several projects if your rebate calculations are based on:
More than one Phocas database.
Different streams within a database.
As there is no such thing as project ownership, projects have no access restrictions. Therefore, all Rebates users can access all projects, so long as they have access to the underlying databases.
You can have multiple projects in relation linked to one database, and separate projects for different databases.
You might also want separate projects for:
Payable rebates (connected to a Sales database).
Receivable rebates (connected to your Purchasing database).
Each company you deal with.
Each year, for example, you might want to keep your 2023 rebate rules in a separate project from your 2022 rebate rules.
