YEB/YER Contracts
Introduction
YEB/YER: YEB (Year-End Bonus), also known as YER (Year-End Reduction), refers to a price reduction negotiated at the beginning of the year between a supplier and its customer.
This discount is only granted if certain predefined criteria are met, such as:
-
A minimum purchase volume;
-
A period of commercial collaboration;
-
Or the achievement of specific objectives (e.g., related to sales or performance).
Creation of new contract types: these new contract types are now available from the Contracts menu.
Access: Contracts → YEB/YER Customer Contract or YEB/YER Supplier Contract
When to apply
- Sales objectives:
For example: an electronics distribution company negotiates a discount with its suppliers based on a sales growth target of 10% compared to the previous year.
YEB/YER application: if the target is met, a 5% discount is granted on all purchases made during the year.
- Cumulative purchase volumes:
For example: a food wholesaler negotiates progressive discounts with its suppliers, calculated on the total volume of annual purchases.
YEB/YER application:
-
2% discount on purchases over €100,000;
-
4% discount on purchases over $200,000;
-
6% discount on purchases over $300,000.
- Supply chain performance:
Case study: a clothing manufacturer seeks to improve its delivery times and implements a discount condition linked to supplier punctuality.
YEB/YER application: a 1% discount is applied for each month that deliveries are on time, with a maximum of 12% over the year.
