GP 10 Advanced Management - Here's the Scenario - We have Customers that are "Distributors" and Customers that are "Direct." 90% of our Sales are for "Distributors" where we don't recognize the Revenue until it is "Sold Through." The other 10% are just regular sales. We have 2 Item Classes, call it class A and Class B. Each Item Class has it's own Revenue Account (Revenue - Class A and Revenue Class B) and we have one Deferred Revenue Account. Right now the Sales Accounts are pulling from the Item Card (SOP Setup). This is great for the Direct Customers, but that's only 10%.
I would like to have the best of both worlds. I want to have the Sales Account Pull from the Item Card from the Customer Class of "Direct" and the Sales Account to pull from the Customer Card on Customer Class "Distributor."
It seems like GP only lets me have one or the other. Switching it around makes it so that Deferred Revenue pulls from the Customer Card on Sales for "Distributors" which is nice. But the Direct Customers Sales pull through as blank accounts because I can't populate those accounts at the Customer Card level because the Sales Account depends on which item is being sold (one of 2 different Accounts or even both on the same order). My solution would be to just leave it at pulling from the Item Card have the order entry person flip the Revenue Accounts to Deferred Revenue on each Distributor Order. I know I could also probably write a customization to do this as well. But is there some standard fuctionality that I am overlooking that will help me do this?
