...
A special type of organisation is one that does work for you or receives work from you . These are known as Delegates.
...
If you have jobs or bookings that you delegate to others - they are suppliers to you - setup the commission % Rate or $ amount on the Supplier (Creditor) for jobs you pass to them
if you have jobs or bookings that others delegate to you - they are a customer of yours - setup the commission % Rate or $ amount on the Customer (Creditor) for jobs they pass to you.
Note that delegation costs are removed from a transaction value before the franchisor commissions process below is actioned.
Employees
Employees may use different menus for the different systems - the best way to achieve this is the person to have multiple employee records - this is best shown through an example.
...
- Franchise A takes a customer request in their franchise area - their pricing is used
- The request is moved for some reason to another franchise
- The customer request is changed in some way - the system will use the pricing from the original franchise for the changes (if possible)
Franchise Commissions
Franchises may have many fees due to the parent - some part of which may be a commission based franchise system - ie a % of all job or bookings go to the Franchisor.
Note franchise commissions are calculated after funds are taken for external delegates where required.
Franchisor runs Reconciliation Process
The reconciliation process will find
- All invoiced amounts that are in the past that are subject to the franchise commission process
- Invoices that were made to a different entity than the one the completed the job or fulfilled the booking
- Create inter company transactions between the Franchisor and the Franchisee for all transactions affected
- Collecting money from those that collected money but did not do the job or booking
- Paying money to those that did the job or booking
- Removing franchise commission during this process
- Journals created
- The journal on the Franchisee side will link directly to the Job or Booking that was involved (either a Debtor or Creditor invoice depending on the balance)
- The journal on the Franchisor side will have buckets for
- Franchise Commissions
- Delegate amounts (if the work came from or was passed to an external party - see above)
- Funds for doing the work
