Promotion Items/Tables
Promotion Items may be listed by item or promotion group. Promotion Volume Tables may be set up with minimum and maximum values and effect.


ROUTE SETTLEMENT
The eRMS Route Settlement Product is designed for quick and efficient settlement and inventory control by delivery vehicle.

Ticket Entry
Orders are converted into sales automatically or by user action. Peddle deliveries are easily entered allowing for complete ticket tracking and control. Customer level cash collections, dump returns (by reason code), buyback returns, and delivery adjustments are easily keyed to complete the customer delivery settlement process.

Platform Entry
Platform transactions (Loads, Adds, Cuts, Route Dump Returns, Route Fresh Returns, Left on Truck, Specials, and Transfers) are quickly keyed to allow the Route Disappearance to be compared to Customer Deliveries.

Route Settlement
Route Settlement allows the user to easily reconcile a Route’s activities. Complete drill ability lets the user view a product and all of its movements for the day. Cash transactions are also quickly balanced to the deposit. All variances are reported and tracked to give a total accounting of all activities.

Commission Tracking
Commission Tracking allows the Route Settlement transaction to automatically calculate Driver Salesperson Commissions.

the Bill-to.

Distributor Accounting
Distributor Accounting allows the Distributor to be billed for their platform transactions without the need to enter the transaction as a sale. Distributor Billbacks are automatically credited at Distributor or Customer price, and a commission may be automatically calculated and paid.

Rate File Accounting allows Invoicing to automatically calculate various subordinate transactions. Freight Charges, Distributor Commissions, Royalty Charges, Advertising Fees, Buying Group Discounts, and other related transactions
are automatically created by the Invoicing transaction.
