darwin Cloud has a setting that allows users to apply an amount deducted from agent commission checks to unpaid bills while posting a transaction.
To enable this setting
- Click Settings menu
- Click Setup submenu
- Click application settings
- Select Property
- Set property Enable apply credits for Bill Deduct in Post to True
- Click save
To deduct a bill from an agent's closing
- Go to Properties menu and search for the property
- Click Agent Net List or Agent Net Sell to edit the agent's commission breakdown
- Edit the bill deduct amount
- click the refresh icon to pull in the amount owed by the agent (if the agent owes more than they are earning from the transaction, darwin Cloud will not exceed the agent net commission)
- click the checkbox to enter a custom amount to deduct
When the transaction is posted, a screen will appear to allow the bill deducts to be applied to any outstanding bills on the agent account:
- Go to Post submenu
- Click the post button
- Check the box of the bills to pay (user can select multiple bills to apply the credit)
- Double-click on the amount field for each bill if needed to edit the amount to pay, ensure that payment amount matches bill deduct amount
- Click Save
- Alternatively, if users do not wish to apply the deducted amount to bills during the post step
- Click skip this step
If the bill deduct credit is not applied during post, the vouchers will still be created in darwin Cloud and will appear on the screen Sales > Add Payments. For more information, review the article "How do I apply a commission deduct or credit"
