Supplier Rebates - Stock Based Purchasing
I have been tasked with finding a systems solution for the following. I am sure that there is some standard functionality to assist with this process.
1) Purchase of 10 widgets at a certain price ($100 per widget) Accrual for rebate is allocated at the same time ($4 per widget)
Accounting Entries
Inventory DR $1000
Inventory CR $ 40
Inventory Rebate Accrual DR $ 40
2) These are then sold to various customers. COGS charged at $96 per widget
Accounting Entries
COGS DR $960
Inventory CR $ 960
3) 3 months later the rebate is finalised at an amount of $ 4.50 per widget
Accounting Entries
Rebate Debtors DR $ 45
Inventory Rebate Accrual CR $ 40
COGS CR $ 5
I have started to investigate advanced pricing but would appreciate if someone could point me in the correct direction.
