Rebate Program
A company is running a growth incentive program for their industrial supply partners. Industrial Supply Co. is a member enrolled in the program. The finance team wants to evaluate and pay out growth-based incentives annually.

The program manager creates a growth-based rebate type and specifies these details:
- Calculation Type: Growth Based
- Growth Qualifier Dimension: Revenue
- Growth Measure Dimension: Revenue
- Growth Frequency: Annual
- Calculation Method: Retrospective
- Calculation Basis: Payout
Benefit Tiers
The engine evaluates the growth rate achieved in the current period compared to the baseline period and applies the corresponding tier benefit:
| Tier Name | Minimum Growth % | Maximum Growth % | Applied Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | 10.00% | 20.00% | 3% of Revenue |
| Tier 2 | 20.01% | Leave blank | 5% of Revenue |
Transaction Data
The following revenue totals are ingested into Data Cloud for baseline and current period processing:
| Member | Baseline Period (April 2025) Revenue | Current Period (April 2026) Revenue | Calculated Growth Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial Supply Co. | $100,000 | $125,000 | 25% |
Member Payouts
The admin runs the required Data Processing Engine definitions in sequence to calculate payouts.
| Member | Payout Period | Current Revenue | Growth Rate | Qualified Tier | Applied Benefit Rate | Payout Amount | Payout Sources Created |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial Supply Co. | April 2026 | $125,000 | 25% | Tier 2 | 5% | $6,250 | 1 |
Growth Rate = ($125,000 - $100,000) / $100,000 * 100 = 25%
Payout Amount = $125,000 * 5% = $6,250
