Sales Partner

A Sales Partner is an outside dealer, agent or reseller who brings you sales for a commission, which is why it is separate from Sales Person, who is your own staff. When a Sales Invoice names a partner, BRAccount computes commission on the net total at the partner's rate and stores it on the invoice, but it posts nothing: Debtors, Sale of Goods and VAT Payable are unchanged. The commission becomes an expense only when you book it, usually by a monthly Journal Entry or a Purchase Invoice from the agency, and TDS may apply to that payment. The Sales Partner Commission Summary report totals what each partner has earned so you can settle it.

Commission = Net total x Commission rate; Rs 32,000 x 5% = Rs 1,600
