Handling Commissions on Student Invoices?

When you create an invoice based on a student's payment plan, commissions are calculated and applied to the invoice.

Here's how it works:

• For single payment, full commission is collected from the single invoice.
• For multiple payments, the commission is deducted from the tuition fees until full commission is collected.

For example, commission is set to 10% and Tuition Fee totals is $1500:

• For single payments, 10% of the tuition fee ($150) will be applied to a single invoice.
  
  
  
• For multiple payments, 10% commission will be applied to the $1,500 tuition fee throughout the instalment plan totalling to $150 once all payments are complete.
  
  
  

In Students page > Financial tab, new columns labelled Commission and Commission Paid will show the Commission.

NOTE: Commission is calculated only on the Tuition Fee component, not the total course fee (If there are other fees or resource fees while student is expected to pay, agent will not earn commission on those amounts.)

How can I record an invoice ID if the Agent sends an invoice instead of using an RCTI?

If an RTO is not using an RCTI and the Agent is instead sending an invoice, you may want to record or document the invoice ID received from the Agent for your records.

To do this:

1. Go to the student profile.

2. Navigate to Financial tab → Invoices.

3. Click ACTION and select EDIT on the invoice.

4. Enter or update the invoice ID for that invoice.

This allows you to track Agent-sent invoices individually while still managing commissions and payments in the SMS.
