The ultimate objective of all manufacturer rep firms is to assure that the vendors paid commissions on all invoices and for the correct amount. The fact that the commission detail report provided by the vendor totals the amount of the commission check is not assurance that the amount on the commission check is correct.
OrderWiz’s Commission Reconciliation module provides a solid way of verifying the commission check. With the commission check entered in OrderWiz, you bring up a list of all unpaid invoices. This list could be limited to the time period covered by the commission check. As if you were balancing your check book, you would locate the invoice, if the commission payment matches the commission due on the invoice, you would simply click on that invoice. Otherwise, you would enter the amount being paid.
What you have after matching all of the invoices covered by the commission check is all of the invoices not paid, plus all of the invoices with a payment variance. You could contact the vendor in order resolve these commission issues.
What auto commissioning offers is a rapid method of matching the invoices in the commission detail report with the unpaid invoices in OrderWiz.
To utilize the auto commissioning feature for a given vendor, the following steps are required:
As long as the data file can be read, that is contains all of the required data and is in usable format, the OrderWiz development team can produce such a program. Once such a program is developed, then it can be shared among the various OrderWiz users.
