TVT Retros

Rebates, refunds and retrospective deals are part of everyday trading in wholesale, retail and the drinks industry.

Most rebate deals start out straightforward. A percentage here, a fixed amount there, a lump sum agreed at the start of the year. Then the detail arrives: a rate that steps up once a customer passes a volume threshold, an uplift negotiated part-way through, a payment schedule that bears no relation to when goods actually moved.

These details are where the effort goes. They usually end up in a spreadsheet alongside your BC environment rather than inside it and needs be maintained by one or two people who understand the agreements well enough to keep it straight.

The cost shows up later, in income that was earned but never claimed, in margin figures that don't quite reflect reality, and in a month-end that depends on someone remembering how a particular deal works.

Why choose TVT Retros?

TVT Retros brings all that work into Business Central. All the relevant information - the agreement, the accrual and the posting - all sit in one place with an audit trail behind them.

Whether an agreement uses fixed amounts, percentage rebates, quantity-based rewards, equivalent cases or lump sums, TVT Retros helps you manage the conditions, build accruals automatically, and post transactions for both vendor and customer agreements.

Now able to handle the agreements that don't fit a single rate

The deals that cause the most work are rarely the standard ones: a rate that steps up once a customer passes a volume threshold, an uplift negotiated part-way through a contract, a fixed quarterly amount that bears no relation to when goods actually moved. These are the agreements that usually end up being managed by hand, in a spreadsheet alongside the system rather than inside it.

In the latest version of TVT Retros, those more complex rebate arrangements are now managed directly in Business Central. Tiered percentages, uplift agreements and scheduled lump sums are set up as part of the rebate itself.

This means the calculation follows the agreement as written and the accrual builds without anyone reconstructing it at period end.
