Over-Allowance

Definition

In the context of TRASER DMS 365, over-allowance refers to the practice of offering a customer a trade-in credit higher than the calculated machine value in order to conclude the sale of a new service item. The difference between the offered and actual machine value is treated as the over-allowance and is offset via the configure price quote of the new service item.

In TRASER DMS 365, over-allowance can be factored in purely calculatory, i.e. only in the calculation worksheet, or by adjusting the inventory values of both the old and new machine for accounting purposes.
