You can use retail incentive programs to track awards for customers who purchase a specific quantities of products. For example, if you give customer X a $100 award if they purchase two cases of product Y, you can set up a retail incentive program for this award.
To track retail incentive program awards, you must set up retail incentive program rules, which control the amount of the awards. Each rule can have up to ten quantity breaks with a different award associated with each break.
NOTE If an invoice qualifies for multiple retail incentive program rules, only the most specific rule is used (e.g., a rule for a specific customer takes precedence over a rule for a customer division).
To use retail incentive programs:
In RIP Product Maintenance, set up retail incentive program rules for specific products. You can also import the rules in RIP Product Import.
Process orders, as normal. Retail incentive program awards can be earned for invoiced quantities (minus any returned quantities).
In RIP Voucher Processing, create credit memos for the retail incentive program awards. During this process a supplier record is automatically created for the customer (if a supplier for the customer does not already exist). This supplier has the same code and name as the customer, but the code and name is prefixed with a # symbol. The supplier can then be paid using the standard accounts payable payment process.
