Rebate an Account

For defining rebate schemes based on customer turnover, you must define a contract sale term. By using contracts you will be able not only to define discounts and special prices per customer but also to define various sales terms. For rebating your customer, you must define a sales term of type “Rebate based on Invoiced Amount“.

Customer Credit Limit

Setting Customer's Credit Limit

By setting a credit limit of a customer, you can control the amount each customer has available for spending and have an overall control on each customer's orders.

Handling an Order that Exceeds Customer's Available Credit

When the customer places an order that exceeds its available credit, the system will allow him to place the order, but the order will not be executed. A BSS account manager needs to approve the order after a payment, for increasing the available credit, has been arranged.
