Travel Agents can work in one of two ways;

1. An agent can pay you less their commission

2. You may pay an agent commission on reservations taken.

Example 1:

There are 2 ways to handle this example in RMS.

You may create the Gross Tariff and the Agent will pay the net. See Travel Agent Payments Less Commission

You may create the Net Tariff and the Agent will pay the net. See Travel Agent Bulk Payments on Net

Example 2:

Here you would complete a process weekly or monthly etc to pay the Agent their commission. See Travel Agent Payments Inc Commission to be Paid.

Travel Agents may be setup in RMS to use neither of the above by simply not attaching a commission during the setup process.

In utilising either of these 2 options above in Trust/Owner Accounting Module, the Owner will receive the Gross amount, not the net amount. See Travel Agent Commission for Trust/Owner Accounting
