Item Types > Credit SKU (15)

Use the Credit SKU item type for rewards coupons (such as Do it Best® Rewards) but is also with the standard promotions feature. Coupons can be linked with specific items (which may have a barcode or alternate SKU assigned) and amounts. For Do it Best Rewards, the application adds the coupon items automatically based on EDI processing and may require a rewards ID be associated with the customer or transaction. The taxable status of these items determines whether the coupon affects the taxable total of the transaction.

Taxable = Y

The coupon item won’t change the tax calculated for the transaction, similar to the “manufacturer” coupon option on the Process form. In this case, it is assumed that your company is being reimbursed for the coupon, so the tax is based on the original taxable amount before the coupon was applied.

Taxable = N

The coupon item will adjust the taxable total and therefore the sales tax calculated for the transaction. In this case, the coupon is treated similar to the a “store” coupon option on the Process (F12) form. It is assumed that the store is not being reimbursed for the coupon, so we handle it the same as a discount regarding sales tax.

*This type is not used with ACE Rewards™. When ACE Rewards is enabled, additional Item Types specific to ACE Hardware Corporation are used instead.
