Understanding Additional Adjustments
You can create additional adjustments that provide sales incentives other than the traditional line-item price discount. For example, you can encourage sales by including free goods with a purchase or giving a discount based on a total order amount (repricing). You can also accrue sales commissions by creating an accrual adjustment.
Free goods are items that help promote, display, or accompany the product that customers order. For example, for certain products you might want the free goods to be the display case, posters, or additional promotional items, such as buttons, hats, or shirts to highlight a sale.
Accrual adjustments enable you to reserve monetary amounts through journal entries for such items as commissions and royalties. You can track the monetary amount, but the order price does not change.
