Ashok,

 

Workaround:

 

You could use a "Temporary cash back/bonus payout" asset account along with a payment \
type called "cash back/bonus payout".

So for each payout:

                                Debit "Temporary cash back/bonus payout" asset \
account 

                                Credit "Savings Portfolio"

 

And then at the end of the day – pass one manual entry to write this temporary \
asset off as an expense:

Debit: Expense Account (with sum of all  cashback/bonus payout during the day)

Credit "Temporary cash back/bonus payout" asset account

 

You may need a report to summarize the "cash back/bonus payout" transactions so that \
this entry can be done easily.

 

So ideally, at the end of the day, "Temporary cash back/bonus payout" asset account \
should not have any balance in it.

 

IMO, right solution would be to:

 

a)      Allow payment type to be mapped to an Expense account

b)      Allow payment types to be associated to specific products (no point in \
showing "cash back/bonus payout" as a payment type for loans)

c)       Enable some way to specify certain rules – for example, "cash back/bonus \
payout" should not be used with certain txn types like withdrawals

 

Note: While doing enhancement for point a)  - we should allow incomes (fees) to be \
mapped to liability accounts too –this is to handle pass-thru incomes like \
insurance fees which are not real incomes, but are money that is to be paid to the \
insurance company eventually.

 

Thanks
Binny

Hi Nayan,

The negative charge amount cannot be used for cash back/Bonus pay out because this is \
an expense to the organization which should be mapped to an appropriate GL code.

The cash back/ bonus could be for each transaction or a separate transaction (not \
related to deposit/withdrawal). The system should allow to payout the cash back/bonus \
to savings account and perform appropriate accounting entries against this \
transaction.

I think using payment type as a possible solution to define a deposit is of cash back \
/ bonus but right now only fund sources are allowed to map for payment types in \
savings product's advance accounting rules section.

 

 

Thanks

Ashok

Ashok,

Is this similar to cash back on credit card/debit card usage for purchase? I mean is \
this against a transaction?

If this is the case, we can add negative transaction charge to a saving product. Out \
of box we can support this :)

I am serious, we can introduce some thing similar to charges, say discounts.

one question, what happens if i define negative charge in the system, how does trx \
and acct entries look like, if it is supported.

 

Thanks

Hi All,

Thanks
