This new feature in darwin Cloud lets you automatically pay off agents bills when you close a transaction.  

When an agent has unpaid bills due to the office, you can take what they owe out of their commission check. This automatically puts a credit on their account and adjusts their balance due. 

When you apply a credit, it doesn’t change an agent’s balance due. The agent balance due is already correct. Rather, applying credits just cleans up the A/R aging. It makes reports and the payments screen easier to use by clearing out items that are already paid. 

darwin Cloud has a tool to make it fast and easy, when you withhold agent bills from their commission, to apply this credit automatically.
