Program Type

A textbox to identify the Program Type. Program Types can be as follows:

  • Accrual: Accrual programs use Sales Transactions to automate rule-based journal entries that are included with the Sales transaction's Journal Entry and are not visible to the customer. They can be used for rule-based delivered freight, royalties, and other taxes that are paid for by the company.
  • Brokerage: Brokerage programs use sales transactions to account for and store the details of an expense that will be paid to a vendor in the future. The expense and accrual entries are included with the Sales transaction's Journal Entry and the details are added to the Broker Balance sub-ledger. When Brokerage programs are 'Settled', AP Invoices are created to debit the accrual account and credit the Vendor's Accounts Payable account. This moves the sub-ledger balance from the Broker to the Vendor.
  • Off Book: Off Book programs use Sales Transactions to automate rule-based entries to an Off Book sub-ledger. These balances can be paid (to a customer or vendor) in the future or written off. These programs do not impact the General Ledger when the Sales transaction is posted, and they are not visible to the customer. They only impact the General Ledger when they are Settled. When they are 'Settled', AP Invoices or AR Credit Memos are created to debit the programs assigned 'Expense Account' and credit the Vendor's Accounts Payable or Customer's Accounts Receivable account. This moves the sub-ledger balance from the Broker to the Vendor. These are often used to keep a tally of money that can be used for food shows and other marketing activities. Balances that are written off have no impact on the General Ledger. 
  • On InvoiceOn Invoice programs automate adding additional line items to Sales Transactions (i.e., Promotional Discounts, Sales Tax, or rule-based Freight charged to a customer). These line items are included with the Sales transaction's Journal Entry and are visible to the customer.
  • Rebate: Rebate programs use sales transactions to account for and store the details of an expense that will be paid to a vendor or credited to a customer in the future. The expense and accrual entries are included with the Sales transaction's Journal Entry and the details are added to the Rebate Balance sub-ledger. When Rebate programs are 'Settled', AP Invoices or AR Credit Memos are created to debit the accrual account and credit the Vendor's Accounts Payable or Customer's Accounts Receivable account. This moves the sub-ledger balance from the Rebate to the Vendor/Customer. Open Rebates balances can also be applied to open sales transactions when applying payment receipts.
