 **__Growth Rebates__**
-When setting up Contracts, there is an option to build a tiered Growth program.  Growth program contracts can be set up with several levels of rebates Products and/or Product Groupings and dictate what the Contractee must buy in order to get the higher level rebate.
+**Growth Program Contract Configuration and Management**
-To set up a Growth Contract, the template used must be set up with a contract type of Growth and a rebate method of Growth.
+Growth program contracts provide tiered incentive structures designed to encourage increased purchase volumes through progressive rebate levels. These contracts establish performance-based reward systems where contractees achieve enhanced rebate rates by meeting specified volume thresholds across designated product portfolios.

-Each of the options on this tab are required on a growth contract and the values entered here affect the pricing entered on the product growth.  These fields all work together to determine the growth threshold.
+The following configuration parameters are mandatory for growth contract establishment and collectively determine growth threshold calculations and eligibility criteria. These interdependent settings establish the framework for performance measurement and incentive qualification.
+________________________________________
-  * __Growth Comparison Type__: This field determines the type of data used for comparisons.
+**Company Aggregation Settings**
-    * **Sales**: Compares sales to sales based on the timeframe defined.
-    * **Claims**: Compares claim data to a specified timeframe.
+Growth Company Aggregation Defines the organizational scope for growth performance evaluation.
-  * __Growth Company Aggregation__: Determines how the Contractee is used for growth.
-    * **Company**: Each contractee company is compared individually for the specified growth data.  Each company that is part of a contractee group will be compared to the growth settings individually to determine if that company meets the threshold for growth.  One company may meet the growth requirement but other companies may not.
+__Company-Level Assessment:__
-    * **Contract**: All contractee companies eligible on the contract are compared for the specified growth data.  In this instance, all the data is summed for all the contractee companies and compared to the growth setting as a whole to determine if all the companies meet the growth requirement.  If the number meets the growth threshold, then all of the companies will meet the threshold and be eligible for the growth incentive.
-  * __Growth Product Aggregation__: Determines how the Products or Contract Lines are used for growth.
+  * Methodology: Individual evaluation of each contractee entity against growth criteria
-    * **Product**: Individual products will be used to determine the growth.
+  * Application: Each company within a contractee group is independently assessed for threshold compliance
-    * **Line**: If the line is a product grouping, this will sum all of the growth to the product grouping level to determine eligibility.  If the line is a product, the individual product is used to determine growth.
+  * Outcome: Individual companies may qualify independently, creating variable eligibility within contractee groups
-    * **Contract**: This option sums up all the products on the contract and uses that data as the determination for the growth threshold and eligibility.
+  * Use Case: Optimal for performance-based incentives targeting specific organizational units
-  * __Growth Unit__: Determines how growth will be measured.
-    * **Dollars**: Uses dollars to determine the growth threshold.  For sales this will be the extended price and for claims this will be the requested totals.
+__Contract-Level Assessment:__
-    * **Volume**: Uses volume to determine the growth threshold.  For sales this is the sales quantity and for claims this is the requested quantity.
-  * __Growth Type__: Determines how growth measures will be defined.
+  * Methodology: Consolidated evaluation of all eligible contractee companies as a unified entity
-    * **Amount**: Dollar amount will compare dollars from this period to the defined period.  Volume amount compares the volume between the two periods.
+  * Application: Aggregate data from all contractee companies is collectively compared against growth thresholds
-    * **Percent**: Growth is determined by a percent of the defined period comparing either dollars or volume.
+  * Outcome: Universal qualification or disqualification across all contractee entities
-  * __Comparison Date Range__: Dates used for Comparison.  This is the date range used to compare the current contracts timeframe to based on all the other growth settings.  Note that the dates entered can not overlap the current contract timeframe.
