The Commercial Orders module offers three invoicing sections to allow you to define more accurately the invoicing of each order line included in your commercial orders; these sections are:
Charges
If there are additional costs or incidentals, these can be inserted in this section. The charges listed are event specific; each commercial event can allocate its expenses as necessary. Additional charges are comparable to the invoice of instalments in that they will give rise to an invoice with a date equal to the expiry dates.
To insert a new charge, click on the 'New' button and input a description (that will appear on the invoice), a unit price, and the expiry date on which this charge will be billed. If the order has already been linked to an invoice, an invoice number will appear in the station or agency section; clicking on this number will display the invoice.
Cost-Accounting
This tab defines the percentages for which revenues will be posted in specific ledger accounts; to do this, click on the [New] button and select the related Account List Code and percentage.
NB: Please note that information entered here is merely informative; accounts and percentages are not considered during invoicing.
Commissions
Account Executives who will be paid a commission on the order are featured in this section. If you have a pre-specified account executive in the 'Notes' section, the names of the account executive will be displayed here; press 'Assign Commissions' to pull the commission percentage (%) across from the pre-established list. However, if you need to insert a commission specific to this order line, you can insert the percentage (%) here.
