Many manufacturers that offer trade promotions to their customers base the budget off of sales accruals. So instead of the trade funds being set up with manual allocation of funding down through the customer hierarchy to the individual customer (like it is today), they need to be able to base the budget on the trade fund on actual sales accruals for that customer. So in Trade Allowance Management, on the trade fund, we need the ability to denote that it is an Accrual type of Trade Fund and then enter in accrual rates by customer/product. Then we need an accrual mechanism that would increase the trade fund budget as that customer buys more. The more the customer buys in a given period, the larger their trade fund budget is to support additional trade promotion marketing activity. This is a CRITICAL requirement for most customers that offer trade promotions to their customers.
