Picture this – the sales managers are offering 15% off electronics and computers on top of bonus discounts if they pay early. Plus, the sales managers receive a commission when they sell a product over $1,000. For accountants, one question comes to mind: how will I track that? The simple answer is Rockton Pricing Management. Connected to your ERP system, either Dynamics GP or Acumatica, Rockton Pricing Management will give you the flexibility to track multiple sales discounts to different GL accounts.
How Recording Discounts Looks Right Now in Dynamics GP and Acumatica
Acumatica and Dynamics GP are solid ERP accounting systems that have the capability to track sales discounts. Dynamics GP requires flipping a switch to start tracking while Acumatica only tracks line-level and group and document-level discounts. However, the real kicker is the one long list that Dynamics GP and Acumatica compile with every discount made. Accountants must comb through this list when they are looking for one discount, perhaps the 15% off electronics and computers.

Why Should Accountants Track Sales Discounts Accurately?
Financial reporting presents a company’s financial statements to management, investors, the government, and other users to help them make better financial decisions. Recording accurate journal entries at the right time will help companies determine their correct financial status. Inaccurate entries may harm financial decisions since the information you’ve based the choice on is false and misleading. Companies may believe they have more or less debt than the data says or are more or less profitable than they actually are.
