NS Backend Accruals
Hi - I am a new NS user at a CPG company and I'm trying to understand if its possible to set up NS accruals tied to each issued invoice.
I want NS to automatically accrue certain expense items such as trade, broker commissions, etc that we can then true-up on a quarterly basis as opposed to having to manage via month end journal entries every month when these items are relatively consistent and we want the system to accrue these charges at a customer level.
For example: Issue an invoice for $100,000 but I want to accrue 10% in a trade expense account to account for trade spend ($10,000) and 2% for commissions ($2,000) in a broker commissions account. Both entries would Debit Expense Credit Accrued Liabilities. Right now we have to manually JE the expenses against proper P&L and BS accounts but I am hopeful that NS can do this automatically.
