Business Benefits

For Cash Flow purposes, you may wish to determine the Revenue that will be generated through Future Handling Charges. This program produces such a report of Future Handling Revenue.

Note: For related documentation and workflows, see MR - Management Reporting.

Usage

Use this job to produce a report with current calculated Future Revenue figures.

The Future Revenue amount is calculated by extending the balance of each Item and the current Rate, then taking the Outbound Future percentage from the In/Out Ratio defined in Field 5 of program CR.63 [Product Billing Profiles].

Example:

Balance = 100
Rate = 1.00 per Case
Ratio = 40/60
Future amount = (100 x 1.00) x .60 = 60.00

This report does not have any effect on any other files. Sales, Accounts Receivable, and General Ledger figures are updated on movement of the Product.

Preconditions

Make sure you have set up the correct Inbound/ Outbound Ratio for each Product in Field 5 of program CR.63 [Product Billing Profiles].

Subsequent Actions

Based on the contents of the report, you may wish to take steps (eg.) to address the reason for the deferral, so that you can hasten the collection of Revenue.
