Buydown Reconciliation

What you funded at the register versus what the manufacturers actually paid back.

Rebates & Compliance → Buydown Reconciliation is the receivables book for manufacturer-funded discounts.

Card	Meaning
Discounts Given	Funded by manufacturers at your register
Reimbursements Received	What has come back, and what share that is
Outstanding Receivable	Still owed to this store

Two tables: Balance by Manufacturer (given, paid back, outstanding, status) and Payment History (period, manufacturer, estimated, actually paid, difference, notes).

Record a payment

1. Choose Record Payment Received
2. Pick the manufacturer and period

   The period is the month, as YYYY-MM.

3. Enter the amount received

   What actually landed, not what you expected.

4. Add notes

   Especially when the amount differs from the estimate — the note is what lets you query it later.

Reading the difference column

Estimated against actually paid is the point of this page. A small gap is normal. A consistent shortfall from one manufacturer is worth raising with them — and the payment history is the evidence.

Accruals cannot double-count: if a weekly run is repeated, the same sale is not booked twice.
