Customer Codes


Accounts Receivable Menu -> Customer Information -> Codes

Because business relationships with your customers usually vary, each customer can be assigned specific codes to enable the software to handle his business according to your requirements.
Following are some codes and tunable settings that can be defined uniquely for each customer.

These settings include:

SPECIAL PRICING
A window is provided to access and maintain the unique rates and pricing controls that apply to this customer.

The Rate Discount Tracking Report can be used to review and analyze rental discounts given on contracts for the customer, using division and date filters.
Changes to special pricing information are also tracked in the Audit Log.

Note: A Rewards Program can not be assigned to a customer if the customer has already been assigned any rental or sale discount percents, trade discount percents, discount plans, special pricing, special rates codes, tiered prices or rates, loyalty plan or delivery/pickup billing code.
The Special Pricing fields are disabled if a customer has already been assigned a Rewards Code in the Customer Codes window.


REWARDS CODE
This field only applies to On Account customers when the Rewards Program processing is activated in Custom Processing, and is always disabled for Cash customers, and for 'Child' customers as the code defaults from the 'Parent'.
To be eligible for the Rewards Dollar plan the On Account customer and any Child accounts, cannot be assigned any other discount plan, including rental or sale discount percents, trade discount percents, special pricing, special rates codes, tiered prices or rates, loyalty plan, or delivery/pickup codes.

Enter a customer Reward Program code or select one from the Reward Program Search window to allow this customer to earn Reward dollars that can be used to pay On Account invoices according to the configuration of that Reward Program level.
If the customer is not eligible for a Rewards Program, the Information Log is triggered listing the discount or pricing programs that are currently assigned, and that must be removed in order to make this customer eligible for a Rewards code.
Any changes to Rewards Code assigned are tracked in the Audit Log.

The Update Customer Reward Programs can also be used to automatically re-assign Rewards Codes to the appropriate Reward Program level based on the customer's monthly business activity.
