Sell-through allowances

Sell-through allowances are sales incentives offered by manufacturers to help a store with margin protection with a retroactive discounted list price. Essentially they are subsidies or rebates given from suppliers to compensate for retail discounts and help maintain price competition. To activate a sell-through allowance on a product:
  • In the Inventory module, select the Catalog list.
  • Find your product
  • Right-click and select Add an STA promotion…
  • In the promotion window, several fields have been pre-filled for you. You need to complete the following fields:
    • Value: represents the price paid by the customer. The value must be a selling price
    • Start and end: select the period when the STA promotion is to be applied
    • Advertising bonus (AAF): Amount allocated by your provider to maintain price competition
    • Bonus (SPIF): Amount awarded to the employee for selling the product
  • Once you reach the start date, when you sell the product, the promotion will apply automatically.
