How to setup cash discounts?
|
||||
============================
|
||||
====================
|
||||
Offer cash discounts
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
Cash discounts are an incentive (usually a small percentage) that you
|
||||
offer to customers in return for paying a bill owed before the scheduled
|
||||
due date. If used properly, cash discounts improve the Days Sales
|
||||
Outstanding aspect of a business's cash conversion cycle.
|
||||
Cash discounts are incentives you can offer to customers to motivate
|
||||
them to pay within a specific time frame. For instance, you offer a 2%
|
||||
discount if the customer pays you within the first 5 days of the
|
||||
invoice, when it is due in 30 days. This approach can greatly improve
|
||||
your average collection period.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, a typical cash discount would be: you offer a 2% discount
|
||||
on an invoice due in 30 days if the customer were to pay within the
|
||||
first 5 days of receiving the invoice.
|
||||
Set up a cash discount
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration
|
||||
=============
|
||||
To set up a cash discount, go to :menuselection:`Accounting -->
|
||||
Configuration --> Management --> Payment Terms` and click on
|
||||
*Create*. Add a *Percent* type of term with a corresponding value
|
||||
(e.g. 98% of the total price for a 2% discount) and the number of days
|
||||
during which the offer is valid. You can also change the default balance
|
||||
term if needed.
|
||||
|
||||
Payment terms
|
||||
-------------

|
||||
|
||||
In order to manage cash discounts, we will use the payment terms
|
||||
concept of Odoo (From the Accounting module, go to :menuselection:`Configuration -->
|
||||
Management --> Payment terms --> Create`).
|
||||
Start offering the cash discount
|
||||
================================
|
||||
|
||||
Let's start with the above example: a 2% discount on an invoice due in
|
||||
30 days if the customer were to pay within the first 5 days.
|
||||
Now, you can create a customer invoice and select the cash discount
|
||||
payment term you added. Once the invoice is validated, Odoo will
|
||||
automatically split the account receivables part of the journal entry
|
||||
into two installments having different due dates. Since the discounted
|
||||
price is already calculated, your payment controls will be simplified.
|
||||
|
||||
A typical payment term of 30 days would have only one installment:
|
||||
balance in 30 days. But, in order to configure the cash discount, you
|
||||
can configure the payment term with two installments:
|
||||
.. image:: media/cash_discounts02.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
|
||||
- 98% within 5 days
|
||||
- balance within 30 days
|
||||
Grant the cash discount
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: ./media/discount01.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
The customer fulfilled the payment terms and therefore benefits from the
|
||||
cash discount. When you process the bank statement, match the payment
|
||||
with the related journal entry. Then, select the remaining cash discount
|
||||
and click on *Create Write-off* to reconcile it.
|
||||
|
||||
To make it clear that it's not a payment term but a cash discount, don't
|
||||
forget to set a clear description that will appear on the invoice:
|
||||
Invoice is due within 30 days, but you can benefit from a 2% cash
|
||||
discount if you pay within 5 days.
|
||||
|
||||
Bank reconciliation model
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
In order to speed up the bank reconciliation process, we can create a
|
||||
model of entry for all cash discounts. To do that, from the Accounting
|
||||
application dashboard, click on the "More" link on the bank and choose
|
||||
the option "Reconciliation Models".
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: ./media/discount02.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
|
||||
Create a new model for cash discounts as follow:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Button Label**: Cash Discount
|
||||
- **Account**: Cash Discount (according to your country)
|
||||
- **Amount Type**: Percentage
|
||||
- **Amount**: 100%
|
||||
- **Taxes**: depending on your country, you may put a tax on the cash
|
||||
discount if taxes have to be deduced
|
||||
|
||||

||||

||||
.. image:: media/cash_discounts03.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
|
||||
Even if it's a 2% cash discount, set a 100% amount on the reconciliation model
|
||||
as it means 100% of the remaining balance (the 2%). You can use the same
|
||||
reconciliation model for all your cash discount. No need to create a model
|
||||
per payment term.
|
||||
You can also create a dedicated reconciliation model to make
|
||||
the process easier. In this case, you should add a tax to the model
|
||||
based on the taxes applied to your invoices. This means that if you
|
||||
handle multiple tax rates, you need to create several reconciliation
|
||||
models. Note that depending on your localisation, you might already have
|
||||
a Cash Discount model available by default.
|
||||
|
||||
Creating an invoice with a cash discount
|
||||
========================================
|
||||
Register the full payment
|
||||
=========================
|
||||
|
||||
When you create a customer invoice, set the right payment term "30 days,
|
||||
2% cash discount" right after having selected the customer.
|
||||
In this case, the customer has not fulfilled the payment term and cannot
|
||||
benefit from the cash discount. When you process the bank statement,
|
||||
match the payment with the two related journal entries.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
.. image:: media/cash_discounts04.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
|
||||
Once the invoice is validated, Odoo will automatically split the account
|
||||
receivable part of the journal entry with two installments having a
|
||||
different due date: 98% within 5 days, 2% within 30 days.
|
||||
|
||||

Payment
|
||||
=======
|
||||
|
||||
Paying the invoice with a cash discount
|
||||
---------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If the customer pays with a cash discount, when processing the bank
|
||||
statement, you will match the payment (98%) with the related line in the
|
||||
journal entry.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: ./media/discount06.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
|
||||
As you can see in the above screenshot, when selecting the customer, you
|
||||
also see the 2% remaining of 3$. If you want to accept the cash discount
|
||||
(if the customer paid within the 5 days), you can click on this line
|
||||
with 2%, click on "Open Balance", and select your "Cash Discount"
|
||||
reconciliation model. That way, the invoice is marked as fully paid.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
|
||||
from now on, matching the remaining 2% has to be done manually. In the future,
|
||||
we plan to automate the reconciliation of the 2% if the 98% are paid on time.
|
||||
|
||||
Paying the invoice in full
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If the customer pays the invoice fully, without benefiting from the cash
|
||||
discount, you will reconcile the payment (in full) with the two lines
|
||||
from the invoice (98% and 2%). Just click on the two lines to match them
|
||||
with the payment.
