Commission Details

The Commission invoice is used to record broker commissions related to freight invoices.

This scenario applies when the own company (from the admin panel) issues Freight Invoices to clients, but the deals are made through Brokers. In this case, a commission (as a percentage of the freight) must be paid to the broker.

• The Commission Invoice is created, with the broker as the issuer.

• Then, voyages involving that broker are added.

• Based on related freight invoices, the commission is calculated automatically.

Key Features

1. The Commission Invoice may include commissions from multiple voyages. Therefore, the card header does not include Vessel and Voyage fields.

2. The detailed view contains two sections:

   • Commissions — A table of voyages and calculated commissions;

   • Additional Expenses — For other costs (functions similarly to the Expense list in simpler invoice types).

Adding a Voyage

To add a voyage to the invoice, click the

Add Commission

button on the right side of the Commissions section. This opens a form with the following fields:

Editable Fields

• Vessel: The vessel for which freight invoices were issued.

• Voyage: The specific voyage of this vessel.

• Total Commission: The total amount of the broker’s commission.

Read-Only Fields

• Total Freight Paid: The total amount already paid under the selected freight invoices.

• Total Freight: The full invoice amount under the selected freight invoices.

• Freight Paid Commission: The paid portion of freight (based on the commission percentage) that must be transferred to the broker (calculated as $Total Freight Paid × Commission$ ).

• Total Freight Commission: The total commission calculated from the freight.

By default, the Total Commission field is pre-filled with the calculated Total Freight Commission, but the value can be manually adjusted if needed.
