Re: coupons

[DaleGindlesperger@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Candy,

We've done that several times in our marketing department - we call them
"spiffs".  We don't use COM at all - we just get the coupons back and
generate checks through A/P for them.  Lots of work, pain in the butt....
NEC setups and all.  But we gotta do what Sales and Marketing says we gotta
do.

Ours are a lot more tha $50, though.  I think there's a minumum amount that
you don't have to bother reporting if below that amount, isn't there?  I'm
not a tax accountant (thankfully) - but maybe someone on the list is....

Our marketing department wants to issue $50 coupon (credit) to each
customer
that reaches a certain dollar amount.   Creating the coupon program and
issuing the coupons to the customer is not the issue.  Has anyone issued
coupons to customers and how did they handle the redemption?  Do you redeem
it through order entry - was it as a separate item number or special charge
or did you issue a credit memo?  If through order entry how did you handle
the coupon for tax purposes? Or was it redeemed through Accounts
Receivable?
