Use BluePlanner to streamline the process of managing planned & approved allowances.
Account mangers define allowance they offer in the promotions they plan.
These plans include customer, products, dates, and pricing conditions that defined the mechanic they’re using (Off Invoice, Billback, Scan), Spend Reason (tactic), and Spend Type (promotion, Everyday Low Price (EDLP), slotting/listing, etc). These are all aligned to General Ledger (GL) accounts, funds.
These promotions then go through an approval process that is configurable, ensuring that the spending is authorized and that everyone involved in the process is aware of the deal.
BluePlanner then provides a promotion extract that contains the details of the deals. With integration work in your ERP, these pricing conditions can be sent directly to your Order Management system.
