Patronage Codes

Use the Patronage Codes option to add, view/edit, update, delete, and print Patronage Codes. Transactions are accumulated from Accounts Receivable, Payable, and Commodity Accounting packages by patronage code. A patronage code can represent an Accounts Receivable/Payable product category, a Commodity Accounting commodity code, or a Commodity Accounting discount code. You can use the Patronage system to accumulate transactions from the Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, or Commodity Accounting systems for one or both of two reasons: 1) You wish to use Patronage Accounting to print reports. Patronage has an advantage over Accounts Receivable, Payable and Commodity Accounting because it offers more flexibility in terms of summarizing data. 2) You wish to calculate a refund or allocation based on activity which occurred in Accounts Receivable, Payable or Commodity Accounting. You should set up the corresponding patronage code for any activity on which you want to report, or calculate/refund.
