Contra-payment using commission

Modified on Tue, 14 Oct at 3:23 PM

Scenario: You are paying the total hotel bill on behalf of your client and wish to deduct your commission from the payment as a contra-payment.

You pay the total hotel bill and deduct your commission (contra)

This is a process you perform using standard steps in GRATIS.

Create the commission claims.
Generate a Commission Claims Summary.
Generate a second, client‑specific Claims Summary for the client whose venue bills you are paying.
Use Email Commission Claims to produce the list.
From the client‑specific summary, select all venues to apply the contra and print these claims for your records.
Deselect these and send the remaining claims by email in the usual way.
In Allocate Payments, allocate the contra claims as if paid. Enter “contra” in payment details for future reference. GRATIS creates invoices you can attach to the venue payment.
Recreate Email Commission Claims to include only the contra venues. For claims that are fully contra, either do not send the email, or send with a note that commission has been contra’d against the client’s venue invoice.
Where there are multiple claims, send the email and note which one is due for settlement and which has been contra’d.
Create the Invoice Report for these reservations to post into your accounts system.
