Commission Checks for Direct Sales

Commission checks for direct sales represent a special case where you do not post the check as you normally do. The most common reason for a direct sale is an airline that does not participate in ARC.

Enter the deposit as you would any other deposit by using the Bank Deposit function. For details, see Creating Deposits and Working with Existing Deposits. The difference occurs when you post the deposit. You do not post to an open invoice; you post directly to the general ledger. To do this, select the GL check box on the Bank Deposit screen. The Posting screen opens with one offset transaction automatically provided in the Where to Apply This Item grid.

Enter 2030 (Accounts Payable -- Direct) for the chart number. This is the off-setting entry for the payable created by the sale.
