Supplier Rebates Product Guide published
BusinessCraft Supplier Rebates provide the ability to track and claim Supplier Rebates offered by Suppliers.
Supplier Rebates can be configured so that the Supplier offering the Rebate (Rebate Supplier) can be different from the Supplier providing the goods/services (Purchase Supplier). The Rebate Supplier must be linked to a Customer Code so that generate Supplier Rebate invoices can be directed appropriately.
Supplier Rebates can be configured for a specific period of time and can be based on a percentage, or fixed amount with specific refinements available depending on whether the Supplier Rebate is an Item Rebate or a Supplier Rebate.
Supplier Rebates comprise either:
Item Rebates which are recognised on posting of Accounts Payable Invoices matched to Purchase Orders by Line.
Supplier Rebates which are generated periodically within the Supplier Rebates module
In both cases, Supplier Rebate History records are created which are then used to Generate Supplier Rebate Invoices from within the Invoicing Module.
Invoices can use specific Sales Codes so that Supplier Rebates are posted to appropriate General Ledger accounts.

Supplier Back Charges Process Guide published
BusinessCraft provides the ability to create, track, manage and process supplier back charges. A Supplier Back charge arises where work carried out is damaged or affected in some way necessitating remedial work to be carried out by one or more 3rd parties.
Although Credit Requests are used as part of the Supplier Back Charge process, it is important to distinguish Supplier Back Charges from Credit Requests from the perspective that Supplier Back Charges involve 3rd parties carrying out remedial work or product replacements, whereas a Credit Request (without any Back Charge) involves the original supplier only.

Purchase Orders Product Guide published
The Purchase Orders module within BusinessCraft allows the creation of Purchase Orders either manually or generated from source information, such as Requisitions, Back Orders and Estimates.
Purchase Orders provide an Issue option which is an approval step and status that permits the Purchase Order to be processed in other modules.
Purchase Orders can be received within the Purchasing module or optionally received and matched in one step in the Accounts Payable module. When Purchase Orders are fully received, the Status changes to Locked. Full receiving, line receiving and partial line receiving is supported, including serial tracking and warranty management for serial tracked items.
Purchase Order Tolerances control receipt and matching differences whilst Thresholds control auto closing (Lock Status) of Purchase Orders not fully matched.
For customers using the Margin Declare process in Job Costing, the Purchase Orders module contains comprehensive Extra to Schedule capability to control additional expenditure not already accounted for as part of Margin Declare. Extra to Schedule is fully integrated in the Purchase Order/ Accounts Payable process flow.
Purchase Orders/Lines can be cancelled and for customers using Margin Declare, cancellations can make the amount cancelled available for additional purchases.
The Purchase Orders module is a fully integrated module within BusinessCraft including Accounts Payable, Job Costing, Inventory, Requisitions, Bills of Materials, General Ledger, Shop Floor Control, Payroll and Order Entry.

Reorder Point Process Guide published
BusinessCraft provides the ability to use reorder points to trigger the purchase and/or manufacture of items for items using a reorder point replenishment policy.
When a Reorder Point replenishment process is run the system calculates Available Stock and compares that value to the Reorder Point to determine if a replenishment is required and if so, then calculates the recommended Replenishment Quantity which is the difference between the Order Up To quantity and Available Stock.
