Comprehensive Functionality to Track, Manage, Submit and Collect Vendor Rebates
Managing Vendor Rebates
For many distributors operating on tight margins, successfully managing vendor rebates can represent the difference between profitability and a loss. Vendor rebates, which are common in Jan/San as well as other industries, are special cost reductions offered by vendors for the sale of specified products to specific target Customers. Under a rebate contract, the typical purchasing cost for the product is rebated for sales to the specific customers. Accolent ERP has comprehensive functionality for tracking, managing vendor rebates, submitting for payment and collecting on rebates.
Create Rebate Contracts
With Accolent ERP easily set up a Rebate Contract for a specific product with a contract quantity and expiry date and record the Deviated Cost (i.e., normal purchasing cost less rebate) on the contract. The Rebate Contract can then be assigned to the specific target customer or group of customers. If the Rebate Contract is assigned to a group of customers, the Contract Quantity will be pooled between these customers.
Record Rebates Due
All sales of the product to the target customer(s) will automatically be made under the Rebate Contract. The sale will decrement the remaining Contract Quantity, will be made at the Contract Price, will record the sale at the Contract's specified Deviated Cost and create a Rebate Due receivable.
Submit and Collect Rebates
No need to keep complicated spreadsheets anymore. Use Accolent ERP’s extensive tools to select, mark and submit Rebates for payment to the vendor either as a downloaded CSV file or through EDI (Electronic Data Interchange). When payment is received, easily tie out the payment receipt against the Rebates claimed in that submission. Record receipt and change the status of the Rebates paid in full so that at any time the whole account can be tied-out to show open items, paid items and information on how paid.
