Commission Report

If you have elected to pay your sales staff commissions on the payments of a Buy-Here/Pay-Here loan, you can view a report of the commissions paid using the software's Commission Report.

Note: When calculating commissions on Buy-Here/Pay-Here payments, the software will only calculate commissions on payments once the dealership has surpassed the "break even" point on the deal, i.e. the dealership has recovered all monies lent to the customer to cover vehicle expenses and is now turning a profit on the deal. The commissions only apply to payments collected to pay off the loan and do not apply to any monies counted as intital money down on the vehicle.

To run the report, click on the Dealer Financing menu at the top of the screen. Select the Commission Report option in the pull-down menu. The software will display the Buy-Here/Pay-Here Commission Report options window.

Selection Criteria Tab

The Selection Criteria tab lets you select the data to be viewed on the report.

Select the types of payments you wish to view on the report. They can be weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly.

Select the loans you want to show on your report. You may specify loans which were created or originated during a specific time period, or you can choose to show all loans.

Select the payments/charges for each loan you wish to show on your report. For example, suppose you want to show your accountant a report of all payments or charges for your loans that occurred within the past year. You would select to show all loans, and then select transactions from January 1^st of last year through December 31^st of last year. You also have the option of simply showing all payments that have occurred on the selected loans.

Sort Order Tab

The Sort Order tab allows you to sort your report based on the criteria you enter. You can have up to three levels of sorting for this report.

Enter the sort direction. Click the down arrow to display a pull-down menu of field choices. You may select from an ascending (a, b, c, … ) or descending (z, y, x, …) sort order.

Report Format Tab

The Report Format tab allows you to choose the proper format for your report.

Select the page size for your report. Click the down arrow in the Page Size box to display a pull-down menu of choices.

Select if you want to view and print the report in a landscape format. If the Landscape box is not checked, the software will assume a portrait format.
