Travel Agent Payments Less Commission
Previous  Top  Next


This process is used when the gross tariff is created and the agent pays you less commission.  
 
For this process you will need to setup an agent in RMS with a commission attached to it as shown in the example below. See Travel Agents in the Setup Menu chapter.  
 
You must ensure, when you created the reservation, that you have attached the appropriate Travel Agent to the reservation column.

In this example you would have a reservation where the gross tariff has been created on the account. Once you have received the net payment from the Agent please follow the below steps;  
1.   Go to the reservation account  
2.   Click once on the receipt button  
3.   Select the type of receipt you wish  
4.   Enter the gross amount of the tariff in the receipt payment field  
5.   Complete any other receipt details required as per your receipt type  
6.   Tick that the receipt is from Agent (see screen shot below)  
7.   Save.

What Happens to the Agent Account?  
 
For the process to work you must ensure that you have attached the appropriate Agent to the reservation.  
 
When the reservation is checked out with a debit balance this creates a credit on the Agent account for the amount of the commission from that reservation.

When the reservation account is receipted using the above steps the Agent account receives a debit for the corresponding amount which is effectively the payment of commission for that reservation.

RMS records the net payment against the reservation account, allocates the correct commission due to the travel agent's account and receipts that commission as received by the agent, thereby completing allactions required.
