How to automatically deduct a percentage from an invoice

, ,

Lawson allows you to use distribution codes that allow for percentages to be negative which would create a deduction. Book the invoice at normal 100% for the expense account and use the distribution code to book the discounts to the proper GL accounts. The amount of the invoice will need to be adjusted to reflect the deductions taken.

If there is a vendor who always gets the same deductions, you can add the distribution code to their AP10 Vendor Record and it will always default onto invoices for that vendor.

6 Reasons Your Business Needs CRM Software

Businesses thrive and make profits through their customers. So why is it that not all businesses have considered investing in customer relationship management (CRM) software? CRM software is a valuable invesment because it improves work productivity and customer relationships. How you form and maintain relationships between you and your customers makes a huge difference in retaining them. It also applies to how you act on new leads and prevent people from bouncing away to one of your competitors. Lexie Lu at SocPub shares several reasons why you should invest in CRM software, as it will help your business relationships in the long run:

  1. Elevate Your Internal Communication – CRM software helps sales and marketing communicate better, as well as allows leadership tp better understand their client relationships.
  2. Reduce IT Costs – With all the money you save implementing a CRM software, you can utilize it elsewhere in the company, such as training your sales team or creating team-building opportunities.
  3. Increase Productivity – Implementing company-wide CRMs helps increase productivity and reducing wasted time trying to track down information needed to complete a task.
  4. Understand Your Customers Better – A customer who feels important and heard is much more likely to do business with you than one who feels they are starting from scratch every time.
  5. Automate Daily Tasks – A good CRM system automates some of them and frees up time for more creative endeavors.
  6. Remove Miscalculations – CRM software creates reports and runs statistics for you, removing the potential for human error.

More and more companies are jumping on the CRM bandwagon and so should you. If you’re planning on growing your company, a good CRM software may just be the push you need to increase your profits.
