Sale - Pay to

LOGISTICS -> Sales -> Pay to tab

Be sure to read the Life-cycle of a sale to get an overview of the sale process.

In this section you can view (and update) who receives the sale proceeds and on what basis. When the produce matches a LOGISTICS -> Supply contract, many of these details will already be completed:

  • Supply contract - this can be omitted altogether if advanced payment features (adjustments, pools) are not required.
  • Pay to - the vendor that will be paid the proceeds for this line of produce.
  • Payment basis - Consignment (actual sale return), Fixed price (entered below), or Pooled (supply contract is required).
  • Advance rate - if the payment basis is Consignment or Fixed price, you can enter an advance rate to pay out during the next payment run. The default value comes from the LOGISTICS -> Supply contract. This is not relevant to Pooled payments.
  • Final rate - if the payment basis is Fixed price, you can enter the final rate that will be paid once the sale status is set to Finalised. The default value comes from the LOGISTICS -> Supply contract. These values can be changed in bulk from LOGISTICS -> Prices - to pay. This is not relevant to Pooled payments.
  • Pay final - when the Pay finals? field is ticked on the General tab, these fields will all be set to ticked. You can choose to de-select a line if you want to hold payment back for a specific grower. This can be adjusted in bulk from LOGISTICS -> Prices - to pay. This is not relevant to Pooled payments.

To see more detail, or allocate different rates to specific pallets, select Show pallets?.

Tip

You can increase the number of decimal places that show for the Advance rate and Final rate by clicking on the Actions menu and selecting "Change pay-to decimal places"

Note

If a Supply contract is blank, your LOGISTICS -> Supply contract may need to be adjusted to include this product.

Supplier invoices

Once you have ticked Pay final, this sale will be included in the next grower payment run. If you just want to create invoices for this sale (and not include in the weekly grower payment run), you can press the Add button from this section. This will generate supplier invoices which will show in FINANCIAL -> Payables and will be ready to post to your financial system.
