Summary
The following article explains how to deal with Finance Commission.
More Information
When you sell a vehicle on finance, the finance company may pay you commission on that deal. To account for this you need to post a negative expense against the vehicle, and also account for the payment received from the finance company.
Logging the commission against the vehicle
- Go to " Unit Sales Add or Edit Vehicles".
- Type in the stock number of the required vehicle or <search> for the vehicle.
- Press <Edit> to go into the vehicle.
- Press <F7> to open the "Expenses" pop-up.
- Click <Add> to add a new expense.
- Enter a date for the commission and a description of finance commission.
- In the "Cost:" field, enter the commission amount as a negative figure.
- Use a category of 'COM'. If this category doesn't exist, add a new one.
- In the "Type:" field, select 'Vehicle'. This will reduce the general expenses against the vehicle.
- Click <Done> and <Accept> to save the expense.
Posting the commission in the accounts
When the commission statement arrives, you need to create an invoice to the finance company.
- Go to " Accounts\Systems Sales Ledger Sales Ledger Postings".
- Enter the finance company in the "Customer:" field.
