The promotions applied to the material or service sold are located under the relevant line, and the promotions applied to the slip bottom are located in the section separated with an horizontal line. The promotion lines can be recorded using the defined Promotions, or by selecting the information of the promotional material.
The information about the promotional materials, and the quantities calculated according to the formula specified in the definition are automatically transferred into the slip using the defined promotions. "Apply Promotion" option located in the F9 key or right mouse button menu is used to make a selection from the promotions indicating the promotional material and quantity along with the purchased or sold materials.
Promotions cannot be applied to order transactions. The promotion applied to the ordered material or service is recorded in the dispatch lines when the order is transferred into the dispatch. The promotions applied to sales transactions can be tracked under separate G/L accounts if required. Promotions cannot be applied for deposit lines in Dispatches and Invoices.
When a promotion is applied to the lines of a sales dispatch or invoice, the promotions of the material processed in the line are listed, and a selection is made. The Date of Transaction is used by the application to compare the Start and End Date of the promotion. The promotions list displays only the valid cards.
The promotion amounts are calculated according to the unit prices specified in promotions. A 100% discount is applied for promotional materials, and the calculated discount is transferred into the Total Discount field. The VAT amount of promotional materials is calculated according to the Unit Price and VAT specified in the promotions.
The effect of the promotion lines related to the sales dispatch and invoice bottom on the costs of materials is specified using the Promotion Discounts parameter of the Sales and Distribution Parameters option located in the Definitions menu of the Administration section. This parameter contains the following options:
- Distribute to Materials
- Post To Different Account
When "Distribute to Materials" is selected, the promotions applied to the transaction bottom are distributed to the materials according to their weight when the material costs are calculated.
When "Post To Different Account" is selected, the promotion discounts applied to sales transactions are tracked in a separate G/L account.
