In trade allowance if you are running a promotion you might set aside some money to allocate to how much you want to spent to drive a promotion. Then measure against the amount spent vs the effective additional sales. So you can create a fund in trade allowance management which you can then assign to different trade allowance agreements.

Here is a quick overview.
