Hi Walter

I am out of the office for a couple of hours this afternoon but hope we can catch up.

An important thing for the Booking Office I imagine will be to be able to substantiate the Commission Figure so I suggest that a report out of the Account Enquiry for Sales (1000-AK) may also need to be attached to their Monthly Statement.

I have attached some screen dumps of how I think this might play out.

A separate invoice for each ride with the ride details in the Description field – then detailed per rider down the bottom.
With a small tweak to one of the system Statements the Description can then show so that their Statement summarising the rides they collected monies for that month.

Hi Walter

Having to pay the Akaroa booking office a commission regardless of whether they collect the funds or not means that the commission calculation needs to be separate from the Invoicing of bookings. You are on the right track….

When the Akaroa booking office receives payment:
Invoice the Akaroa Booking Office for the full cost of the ride.
plus set up a debtor account for the rider, or add a memo to the existing Debtor, to record the riders details for mail-outs.

When the rider pays you directly:
Invoice the Rider.

At the end of the month you will need to raise a Credit Note for the Akaroa Booking Office coded to Commission Paid.
An Account Enquiry on each of the Income Codes by Dept (Akaroa) will itemise the relevant transactions for the month.
You can attach this to their monthly Statement which will provide them with a summary of the activity on their account for the month and the resulting amount owing. The system statements may need to be tweaked to show the Description line of the Invoice.

I am in the office on Wednesday if you would like to talk through this further.
