Rebates & Compliance → Buydown Promotions holds the multi-pack and loyalty discount rules that decide which register markdowns get claimed back. Columns: Promotion, Manufacturer, Funding, Buy Qty, Discount, Runs, Status.

Why this matters

When a manufacturer-funded discount is rung up — “$1.00 off 2 packs”, say — you give the money away at the register today and get paid back later. Without this record, that markdown just looks like lost margin, and nobody chases the reimbursement.

Create a promotion

1

Choose New Buydown Promotion

2

Name it and pick the manufacturer

3

Set Funded By

Manufacturer (reimbursed) or Store (your cost).
4

Set the terms

Minimum quantity, the discount in dollars, and the start and end dates. Add the manufacturer’s promo code if they gave you one.
Funded By is the field that matters most. Manufacturer-funded discounts become money owed to you; store-funded ones never do — they are a margin decision you made. Marking a store-funded promotion as manufacturer-funded builds a receivable nobody will ever pay.

Dates

Set the end date. A promotion left running after the manufacturer’s offer has ended keeps accruing a receivable against a program that has closed.

What happens next

Qualifying sales accrue automatically as money owed. Track and settle it in Buydown Reconciliation.
