Navigator Fund File
Use the Fund File to collect data and establish marketing guidelines for customer funds. Customer funds are liability accounts in which you collect dollars or points toward a marketing event. For example, you could overbill a group of customers by 5% for all sales of certain products, so that they could participate in a company trip when they have accumulated $300.00 each.
Note: A fund is a combination of a marketing program and a customer account number.
Access the Fund File and click Create under Records to create a new Fund File.

Balances
This screen displays past, current, and month-by-month balances for a customer (all of the customer's funds combined), a specific fund, or combination of funds for a customer.
|
Use the Promotional Pricing File to establish which products are overbilled or given points. In the Promotional Pricing File, you can also designate which marketing programs and customers are affected.
|
The Fund File tracks the overbilled amounts and points for each marketing program and customer, and contains rules and comments that govern how the funds are handled.
Define the marketing programs for which the funds will be collected. The marketing program is established in the Classification Codes File. For example, enter marketing program UNC for a chance to go to the UNC vs Duke basketball game.
Create Promotional Pricing File entries that either overbill, assign points, or both, for specified products. Specify that the promotional price record is to contribute to a marketing program. For example, enter a promotional pricing record that adds $1.00 per unit of tile, and contributes to marketing program H10, the Hawaii 2010 trip. Usually, the promotional file record is assigned to specific accounts, or to the same marketing program to which the funds are contributed. For example, you could assign marketing program H06 to all customers signed up for that trip by entering H06 in the Codes screen of the Billto File. Then, you can assign the promotional file records to marketing program H10 instead of to the specific accounts. The system automatically applies the promotion to any customer assigned to H06.
Create a default Fund File record in the Fund File for that marketing program. A default Fund File record is created using the marketing program code and account number 000000. This record can establish the rules governing the fund for all accounts that use the fund without having to enter a fund record for each account. The system automatically creates the fund records as required.
Optionally, you can create Fund File records for specific account numbers. This is necessary only if the rules governing the fund are different for individual accounts. For example, some customers might want to see the overbills separately on the invoice, and others might not.
