[0024] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Typical embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings. However, the invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0026] The general idea of ​​this invention is as follows: Addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as long and uncontrolled manual offline data collection, arbitrary indicator adjustments, lack of financial verification, inability for distributors to intuitively perceive current rebates, and lengthy processes required for each new rebate policy, this invention obtains rebate settlement configuration parameters and sets them on components. Multiple components are then integrated through execution logic to form a settlement model, providing online rebate settlement tools and methods to meet various needs and satisfying the systematic transformation of each rebate policy. By defining a data model, collecting raw data online through multiple methods, and processing the raw data, suitable marketing business data for rebate settlement is provided, enabling rebate settlement to comprehensively meet rebate settlement requirements. By interacting with the financial settlement process and viewing display area, the accuracy and timeliness of financial settlement are achieved, and a more convenient and intuitive understanding of the current rebates is realized.

[0027] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will describe the above technical solutions in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of this application, rather than limitations on the technical solutions of this application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1The diagram shown is a flowchart illustrating a method for processing rebate settlement according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a method for processing rebate settlement includes:

[0029] Step 100: Obtain the configuration parameter information for rebate settlement, and set or define the corresponding multiple functional components according to the configuration parameter information to form a rebate settlement model.

[0030] Automakers often reward dealers with rebates. Automakers formulate rebate policies based on actual market conditions. At this point, it is necessary to interpret and break down the rebate policy, convert the relevant matters in the rebate policy into corresponding configuration parameter information, and perform parameter copying, parameter selection, and parameter definition for the corresponding functional components in the rebate settlement system according to the actual needs of rebate settlement. Through the control center of the system, the set functional components are integrated to form a rebate settlement model. The rebate settlement model is used to calculate rebates from marketing business data to obtain rebate data.

[0031] For each rebate policy of an automaker, the configuration parameter information is not exactly the same. For each rebate settlement application with different needs, the configuration parameter settings, selections, and definitions are not exactly the same. Each rebate settlement is based on a new rebate settlement model formed according to the specific configuration parameter information.

[0032] To gain a deeper understanding of the rebate settlement model, the specific configuration parameters include settlement cycle time nodes, rebate allocation method, settlement statistics dimensions, settlement entity scope, rebate eligibility conditions, rebate data calculation formula, and indicators for participating in rebate settlement.

[0033] The key metrics for rebate settlement include: the project entity for rebate settlement (e.g., number of vehicles picked up, number of vehicles delivered, difference between the number of vehicles submitted and the number of vehicles delivered), the settlement period (e.g., July 20, 2023 – August 20, 2023), the settlement period for current needs, providing a basis for obtaining marketing business data, the settlement entity scope (e.g., the dealer's location), which can be categorized by region (e.g., South China, Central China, Guangdong, Shanghai) or dealer level (e.g., first-tier agent, second-tier agent), providing a basis for obtaining marketing business data within that scope, and the rebate eligibility criteria (e.g., the threshold conditions for receiving rebates as stipulated in the rebate policy, such as requiring more than 10 vehicles to receive a rebate, providing a basis for obtaining marketing business data). Whether rebate calculation is required requires providing a basis; the rebate data calculation formula is used to calculate the rebate based on the marketing business data that meets the rebate criteria. For example, rebate data = number of vehicles delivered * rebate amount per vehicle. If the number of vehicles delivered is 20 and the rebate amount per vehicle is 1,000 yuan, then the rebate data = 20 * 1,000, which is 20,000 yuan; the settlement statistics dimension refers to the selected settlement item, such as whether the settlement dimension is based on vehicle model or dealer. One is based on the item, and the other is based on the block; the rebate allocation method can be divided into three types: no allocation, average allocation, and proportional allocation. For rebates calculated based on vehicles, no additional allocation is required, and the rebate amount is directly calculated for each vehicle. Average allocation means that the rebate amount within the dealer's settlement period is evenly allocated to each vehicle within the settlement period. Proportional allocation means that the rebate amount within the dealer's settlement period is allocated to each vehicle within the settlement period according to the vehicle model ratio.

[0034] Step 200: Access the database, extract the marketing business data associated with the configuration parameter information, and transfer it to the rebate settlement model.

[0035] Rebate settlement requires inputting marketing business data into the rebate settlement model for calculation and settlement. Typically, the system reads the configuration parameter information in the rebate settlement model, accesses the system's database with the set and defined configuration parameter information, extracts the marketing business data associated with the configuration parameter information, inputs it into the rebate settlement model for calculation, and obtains the rebate data.

[0036] To ensure the standardization of marketing business data input into the rebate settlement model, the data in the database consists of standard data items. The data model in the database needs to define metadata. For example, if the data model name is "Vehicle Performance," it includes data items such as Dealer ID, Dealer Name, Dealer Region, Dealer Agency Level, Number of Vehicles Taken, Number of Vehicles Delivered, Taken Date, and Delivered Date. Corresponding physical tables should be created. The definition of the data model is related to the configuration parameters of the rebate settlement model. Data items associated with the configuration parameters must be defined in the data model; for example, settlement cycle time node data must include a data item for the taken date.

[0037] Because the original business data is not standardized and is stored in other locations, the database needs to employ certain methods to acquire the original business data and form standardized marketing business data. In this invention, the database uses the following three methods for acquisition.

[0038] The first method is to obtain the data source address information of the original business data and the definition information of the database data model, configure and define the database, and then periodically query the data source to extract the original business data from the data source. The original business data is then classified and integrated according to the data items defined in the data model, processed into marketing business data, and written into the database.

[0039] First, by obtaining the definition information of the database data model, corresponding physical tables are created in the database. As explained above, after the database is defined, data source information and query statements are configured. Data interacts with the data source through the data source address. The query statement retrieves the original business data from the data source. Since the original business data in the data source does not correspond to the data items in the database data model, the original data needs to be categorized and integrated, processed according to the database's data item standards, and finally formed into marketing business data consistent with the data items in the data model, which is then incorporated into the database for storage. The second method involves obtaining the API interface request address information for the original business data and the definition information of the database data model. The database is then configured and defined. The database periodically requests and connects to the API interface to extract the original business data, categorizes and integrates the original business data according to the data items defined in the data model, processes it into marketing business data, and writes it into the database.

[0040] First, by obtaining the definition information of the database data model, corresponding physical tables are created in the database. As explained above, after the database is defined, the API interface request address information is obtained, and the request statements are configured. Data is obtained through the API interface request address. Through the request statements, the original business data is extracted. Since the original business data does not correspond to the data items in the database data model, the original data needs to be classified and integrated. It is processed according to the database data item standards, and finally, marketing business data consistent with the data items in the data model is formed and incorporated into the database for storage.

[0041] The third method is to obtain the definition information of the database's data model, define the database, import the categorized and integrated external business data into the database using the EXCEL template data import method, and write the external business data into the database.

[0042] Offline business personnel organize and fill in the original business data into the corresponding Excel files according to the Excel data template. The business data in the Excel files is then written into the database through the system's data import function. Since the Excel data template and the physical tables in the database are consistent, the data can be directly imported without further classification, integration, or processing.

[0043] Specifically, to extract marketing business data, the database is accessed, and marketing business data within the periodic time node data and settlement subject scope is retrieved from the database. Marketing business data within the periodic time node scope and settlement subject scope is extracted and transmitted to the rebate settlement model.

[0044] Before accessing the database, the configuration parameter information is read first. The periodic time node data and settlement entity range in the configuration parameter information are extracted. For example, if the periodic time node data is 2023 / 7 / 20-2023 / 8 / 20 and the settlement entity range is Guangdong Province, the marketing business data in the data model is retrieved, selecting data with vehicle pickup times between 2023 / 7 / 20 and 2023 / 8 / 20. The dealer's region in the data model is also retrieved, selecting data from Guangdong Province. Data that simultaneously meets these criteria is extracted and transmitted to the rebate settlement model. This ensures that the data transmitted to the rebate settlement model is standardized and valid, avoiding calculation errors or operational malfunctions in the rebate settlement model. Step 300: The rebate settlement model calculates and processes the marketing business data, outputs rebate settlement data, and performs rebate settlement through the financial settlement process.

[0045] The rebate settlement model receives marketing business data, performs calculations on the marketing business data, and after the calculation is completed, outputs rebate settlement data to the financial settlement process in the system for final settlement.

[0046] Specifically, the rebate settlement model extracts indicator data from marketing business data based on the indicator information involved in the rebate settlement. It then determines whether rebate calculation is required based on the rebate conditions. If not, the rebate settlement data output is 0. If so, the rebate calculation formula is retrieved, the indicator data is input into the formula, and the rebate settlement data is calculated. Based on the statistical settlement dimensions, the corresponding rebate settlement data is output to the financial settlement component, which then performs the settlement.

[0047] Marketing business data that meets the settlement cycle node data and settlement entity scope is extracted from the database and transmitted to the rebate settlement model. For example, marketing business data with vehicle delivery time between July 20, 2023 and August 20, 2023, and where the dealership is located in Guangdong Province, is extracted. From this data, the indicator information for participating in rebate settlement is extracted. If the indicator information for participating in rebate settlement is the number of vehicles delivered, then the number of vehicles delivered by the same dealership in this cycle is counted to obtain the total number of vehicles delivered. For example, if the number of vehicles delivered is 200, the indicator information for participating in rebate settlement is judged according to the rebate conditions information in the configuration parameter information to determine whether rebate calculation is required. The condition for rebates is that the number of vehicles delivered must be greater than 100. If 200 is greater than 100, then the rebate condition is met, and this data needs to be calculated. If the number of vehicles delivered is 50, which is less than 100, then the rebate condition is not met, and the rebate calculation proceeds to the next dealer. When rebate calculation is needed, the rebate calculation formula in the configuration parameters is retrieved. The indicator data is input into the rebate calculation formula for calculation. For example, the rebate calculation formula is: Rebate Data = Indicator Data * Rebate Amount. If the indicator data is 200 vehicles delivered, and the rebate amount per vehicle is 1000 yuan, the calculated rebate data is 200,000 yuan. Then, based on the statistical settlement dimension in the configuration parameters, the corresponding rebate calculation data is output. If the statistical settlement dimension is dealer, the output is "XXX dealer rebate 200,000 yuan"; if the statistical settlement dimension is vehicle model, the output is "XXX dealer XXX vehicle model rebate 200,000 yuan". After outputting the rebate calculation data, the rebate calculation data is transmitted to the system's financial settlement process for financial settlement, thus completing the rebate settlement for the distributor.

[0048] To make it easier for dealers to see their current rebate performance in a timely manner, the method of the present invention further includes step 400: performing rebate settlement data allocation calculation processing according to the rebate allocation method, and transmitting the allocated rebate settlement data to the viewing and display area.

[0049] After the rebate calculation data is generated, it is output to the financial settlement process for financial settlement, and it can also be output to the dealer's viewing and display area so that dealers can view it in a timely manner. In order to enable dealers to have a more comprehensive understanding of the rebate performance of various models, dealers can set the allocation method in the configuration parameter information according to their needs. The rebate settlement model recalculates the rebate calculation data according to the allocation method and outputs the rebate data corresponding to the rebate allocation method. For example, if the allocation method is proportional allocation, the rebate calculation output is allocated to each car based on the proportion of the car model price, thereby reflecting the rebate data of each car.

[0050] Based on the above methods, this invention obtains the configuration parameter information for rebate settlement and sets it on the components. Multiple components are then integrated through execution logic to form a settlement model, thus providing online rebate settlement tools and methods to meet various needs and satisfying the systematic transformation of each rebate policy. By defining a data model, collecting raw data online through multiple methods, and processing the raw data, it provides marketing business data suitable for rebate settlement, enabling it to more comprehensively meet rebate settlement needs. By interacting with the rebate settlement data with the financial settlement process and viewing display area, it achieves the accuracy and timeliness of financial settlement, and provides a more convenient and intuitive understanding of the currently obtained rebates.

[0051] Accordingly, the present invention also provides a system for processing rebate settlements, referring to...
