Aptean Trade Management for Food and Beverage

We realize you have a wide range of trade agreements with customers and vendors that include elements like variable prices, discounts, promotions, rebates, broker commissions and payables, royalties and billbacks. These trade agreements may even be comprised of multiple levels, meaning that different rates are offered when certain minimums are met. To support your specific business processes, it’s essential to have an easy, intuitive way of setting up and maintaining your different plans and programs.

Keep Your Trade Plans Under Control

Aptean Trade Management for Food and Beverage doesn’t just help you track your different trade agreements, it goes a step further by allowing for the establishment of a separate trade plan for each trade agreement in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Trade plans support different trade rate configurations, allowing you to reflect different calculation parameters within a single plan. These trade rates are used to calculate order rebates, royalties, billbacks and payables, which can be applied directly to the document or captured as accruals. You can then periodically pay accrued amounts to identified recipients via invoices or sales credit memos. Any difference between accrual and invoice value is applied to the original documents. Agreements can be indefinite or defined for specific time periods.
