Commission Agent

Accounting for agents who earn commission on deals they never touch

Invoice your foreign suppliers for commission in their currency, record the remittance when it lands, and let Accuracy book the tax the bank withheld and the exchange gain or loss on every invoice.

Who it is for

Your income is a commission, not a sale

Indent and commission agents and export-services brokers put a foreign supplier and a buyer together. The goods ship straight from one to the other. You never hold stock, and you are paid a percentage by bank remittance. Ordinary sales software doesn't fit that, so this module does.

Commission items

The products you broker, such as a yarn count or a fabric. They carry no stock and no accounts, just a unit and an optional default commission rate.

Commission suppliers

The foreign suppliers who pay you, with their bank details including SWIFT and IBAN. Each one's balance is tracked in their currency, opening balance included.

End buyers

The buyers the goods went to, kept for reporting. You never invoice them, but you can see every deal you made for each one.

From deal to remittance

Three documents cover the whole deal

Commission order

Optional. Record what was agreed, for which buyer, with the expected invoice date. It doesn't touch your accounts, and the invoice can pull its open lines later, in part or in full.

Commission sale invoice

Your invoice to the supplier in their currency: quantity × rate × commission %, per line. The day's rate is fetched where available, or you type it, and the invoice is booked in your base currency.

Commission receipt

The remittance. Tick the invoices it pays, enter the rate the bank actually gave you and the tax it held back. The rest is worked out.

Exchange and tax

Each invoice is settled at its own rate, so the gain or loss is right

When the remittance arrives, the rate has moved since you invoiced. Accuracy clears each invoice at the rate it was booked at and posts the difference to exchange gain or loss, even when one receipt pays several invoices invoiced on different days.

  • The tax the bank withheld is booked as an expense: 1% by default, changeable on each receipt
  • A rate more than 20% away from the invoice rate is stopped, which catches typing mistakes
  • Part-payments are fine: an invoice stays open for what is still outstanding
  • With approvals switched on, invoices and receipts can wait for a second person to approve them

Commission Agent questions

Frequently asked

No. This module is for businesses that earn commission themselves, from the suppliers whose goods they broker. It doesn't calculate commission you owe to your own sales staff.

No. Commission invoices and receipts carry their own currency and rate on any plan, and everything is booked in your base currency. You need multi-currency, on Enterprise and Professional, only to keep a bank account in a foreign currency.

No. A receipt is in one currency and must be applied in full to that supplier's open invoices in the same currency. Money received on account, without an invoice to apply it to, isn't supported yet.

Enter each supplier's opening balance in their currency with its rate. It becomes an open item, so the remittance that pays it clears it with the right exchange difference.
