Using the SKU

When checking out a customer that has purchased an e-bike or an e-bike battery out at the cash register, the product should be scanned and then the The Battery Network SKU must be added. This SKU will appear as a separate line item on the customer’s receipt.

1. Create an income account in your accounting software for e-bike Battery Recycling Fees. Include it with other income accounts mapped from Ascend.
2. Create a cost of goods sold account in your accounting software for e-bike Battery Recycling Fees. 
   1. Note: Do not include it with other COGS accounts mapped from Ascend. Place it near other non-Ascend COGS accounts (examples: Freight-In or Inventory Adjustments).
3. Create a category in Ascend for e-bike Battery Recycling Fees.
   1. Categorize the SKU created above here
   2. Map sales to the income account created above
   3. Map cost of goods sold to the COGS account created above

1. Once the fee begins appears on Trek invoices, it will need to be mapped/keyed from invoices
2. US Retailers integrating TermSync with QuickBooks:
   1. Dashboard & Messages > QuickBooks Setup
   2. Assign the account number created in step 2 above
3. Non-integrated retailers:
   1. Key the e-bike Recycling fee to the cost of goods sold account create in step 2 above

• Bike and Parts category margins to be unaffected
• Ascend sales and cost of goods sold to be easily matched to the Income Statement
• The cost of the fees to be more easily reconciled to the number of outstanding bikes on hand
• No extra work if cashiers fail to charge recycle fees
