Food and beverage businesses often face challenges managing external and/or indirect sales that occur between their customers and third parties, as they can involve complex processes like moving accounts receivable and managing commissions, rebates and financial reporting. The Aptean External Sales extension tracks these sales and the associated trade accruals to increase efficiency, improve data accuracy and streamline financial reconciliation.

Capture your customers’ sales and use them as the basis for commissions or other trade agreements

Aptean External Sales streamlines the process of handling external sales, allowing businesses to create and manage sales orders that represent transactions between customers and those businesses’ customers. This extension facilitates financial adjustments while tracking external and indirect sales for reporting purposes, and it integrates seamlessly with Aptean Trade Management to facilitate the management of complex trade accruals, including commissions, rebates and more.
