What are the Handling Methods?
Two handling methods are available for promotional costs.
Off Invoice - The provider's (supplier's) invoice to the subscriber reflects the promotional cost. The discounted costs are exported to the subscriber, and are loaded into the subscriber's pricebook.
Bill Back - Prescient can handle bill-backs in two ways. The method used is dependent on the Prescient service agreement set up between you and your trading partner.
The subscriber tracks the promotional savings on items purchased. The accrued savings are then billed-back (invoiced) to the provider. Prescient stores the deal discounts as reportable information only, and does not track accrued amounts.
The discounted costs are exported to the subscriber, and are loaded into the subscriber's pricebook. This is similar to the Off Invoice method.
Please note that Item & Cost does not generate invoices.
