F	Eff. Date	Date cost is effective.
G	End Date	Date cost ends. Applicable to Promotional, Informational, and Temporary costs only.
H	Base Cost	Distributor's frontline cost for the item.
I	Amt Off	Allowance off the Base Cost.
J	Net Cost	Base Cost minus any Allowance.
K	Cost Type	The type of cost reported. Regular costs (R) are also called “front-line or base” costs. These are a distributor’s normal prices. Regular costs have an effective date but do NOT have an end date. Temporary costs (T) are costs set up with both effective date and end dates. Like a Promotional Cost, a Temporary Cost overrides the Regular Cost for a set period of time. For example, $4.99 from 11/09/2006 to 11/17/2006. Promotional costs (P) have both an effective and an end date. For example, $0.50 off each case from 10/01/2006 to 10/31/2006. A distributor enters these costs through the Promotion System. Informational costs (I) are a special type of promotional cost, and have both an effective and end date. Informational costs are related to Promotional Costs in that they explain the conditions of a cost. For example, a promotion on cases of beer might display “BUY 10 GET $0.25 OFF” in a report. A distributor enters these costs through the Promotion System. Costs are shown as Informational (I) when: More than one purchase option or condition is offered, such as Quantity Discount with Allowance deals with more than one level. A promotional deal contains text information, such as in Free Goods or Ad Feature (Special Price) deal.

L	Unit Cost	Distributor's price for the sell unit. For example, if the Net Cost for a case of two 12-packs is $22.50, the Unit Cost is $11.25.
M	Handling Method	If the Cost Type is P or I, the Handling Method describes how the promotional savings are passed on to the retailer. Off Invoice - The distributor's invoice to the retailer lists the promotional cost. This is the most common method. Bill Back - The allowance does not appear on the distributor's invoice. Instead the retailer tracks the allowances accrued and bills the difference back to the distributor.
N	Promotional Information	Description of the promotional cost.
