Agency commission

In this tab, percentage of commissions to advertising agencies and/or clients is set. Marathon follows what is written on each media and there are two ways of handling over commissions to the client.

Cash discount on net	Works like a normal commission
Cash discount	Here the cash discount from the supplier is registered. Note that this is not what we actually have received, but is a fixed deduction.
Calculation basis	Media net means that a certain percentage of what media gives us is sent forward to the client.

Example: If you put 2, 00 “to client” on Commission 1 , the client receives up to 2 % of what we receive from the media. If the media gives us 3 % in commission 1, we give 2 % to the client and keep 1% to ourselves. If the media gives 1, 5 % the client gets all and we nothing. If the media gives 10 % the client receives 2 % and we 8 %.

Commissions from media means that you write how much the client receives in format 50/50, 30/70, 80/20 etc.

Example: if you set 40, 00 “to client” on Commission 1 and 60, 00 “to us” , forty percent of the commission from media will be sent to the client and 60 percent is for us to keep.

If the media gives 3 % agency commission, we give 1, 2 % to the client and keep 1, 8 %. If the media gives 1, 5 % the client gets 0,6 % and we get 0,9 %. If the media gives 10 % the client gets 4 % and we get 6 %.

Type of allocation	If the commission shall be allocated between the clients sharing the cost or if the end client gets the whole amount.
Show on invoice	Not in use.
Capital cost

The tab capital cost shows how much fee mark-up the client shall have and how it shall be calculated.

Capital cost:

From client	how much in % we debit the client.
To agency	how much fee we give to the agency. Shown on the agency reconciliation.
Agency 2	if we want to pass on fee to one more party. Shown on the agency reconciliation.
To other agency	if you use another agency for bookings on a certain client. A separate agreement is necessary at the booking. In this field you must write how much fee the other agent shall charge us.

Example: We have a client whom we charge 5 % fee and write it in the field “from client”. Later the advertising agency shall have 1 % of this, and we write 1, 00 in the field “to agency”. In this case we keep 4 % for ourselves.

If we additionally are going to use another agency who will add 3 % fee, write it in the field “To other agency”. This means that we charge 5 % from the client; the agency gets 1% of it, the other intermediary gets 3& of it and we can keep 1 %.

Net

Calculation basis	The amount on which fee shall be calculated.
after discounts
Net after left commission	when all the client’s commissions have been deducted
Net after received commission	when all received commissions have been deducted
Net after left agency- and ad material commissions	when the client’s agency- and material commissions have been deducted
Commission basis of media	according to media’s provisions
Gross-left commission	on the gross amount – on the client’s deducted commissions
Gross received commission	on the gross amount – on all deducted commissions
Gross received discount	calculated on the discount registered

The difference between Net after left commission or Net after received commission is that all commissions not necessarily are forwarded to the client, but can be partly kept or forwarded to other intermediary.

Min	Minimum amount that shall be invoiced even if the percent based fee not is reached. It is selectable if the minimum fee shall be based Per insertion or Per price row.
Fee 2, 3 and 4	For additional fee mark-up to the client. Works like fee.
Allocation of fees	If the fee shall be charged the clients who share the cost, or if the end client shall pay the whole amount.
Show on invoice	Not in use.
Fee % of discount	If fee shall be charged on a certain discount code.

Example: We negotiate an advantageous discount and can have a part of it through the agreement. The discount code in the parameters rules the size of our part.

Show on invoice	Not used in the new layout.
To be deducted	Not in use.
Special agreement	It you work with Adform, you can register an agreement that is automatically generated when creating a plan and clicking the Adform-button. Set in the parameters the surcharge codes that shall be used in the booking. Calculation basis can be set on net, net-net or net- Agency commission.
Fixed price	Possible agreed price for all or an additional price to previous.
Extra measuring	Used only in Denmark
Foreign currency

The invoicing currency for the agreement is the one that is selected in the parameters. You can choose between own currency, the currency of the order, or an optional which you write in the field. You can also set a currency rate and a possible mark-up in order to cover currency discrepancies.

Invoicing currency	The currency for invoicing the client. Select between Own currency, the Order currency or Specified below.
Currency	If you chose Specified below, write the currency for invoicing. The system calculates first the order amount to the own amount before invoicing in the selected one. This provided that the invoicing currency and the order currency are the same.

Example: The order is in USD, our own currency is SEK but the client wants the invoicing in EUR. The order will be recalculated into SEK and then into EUR. If the orders had been in EUR, the same amount would have been invoiced the client without recalculation to SEK.

Invoicing rates	Select between Order rate, Day rate + mark-up (write the mark-up in ”mark-up when converting to SEK”) and If order rate differs from day rate with more than max. allowed diff. (write the difference in ”max difference”)
Currency for fixed
amounts in agreement	E.g. insertion fee. The amount is first calculated into own currency, thereafter to the invoicing currency

Conversion from base currency to foreign currency when invoicing

Invoicing currency	You can select Order rate, Day rate + mark-up (which is written in the field below) or If order rate differs from day rate with more than max. allowed diff (when the maximum difference is stated)

Conversion from order currency to base currency when invoicing

Own fields

Set own fields in base registers-general. The fields can be text fields or numerical fields. The content can be exported to Excel.

Client categories

Grouping clients in categories can be useful for statistics or e.g. for invoicing a certain client category at one time. Client category can be e.g. Cars, and be connected with clients as VOLVO, BMW, SAAB. Categories can also be used for different types of invoicing like current invoicing, once a week, once a fortnight, once a month, etc. Another example is to use categories to separate national/international clients.

Groups

Group can be used to separate clients belonging to different teams/departments/companies. Thus you can use groups for statistic purposes or to select and authorise the data. There are fields in the User register, where you can write the groups that the user is authorised to. Group can also be set on media.

Agencies

Here all advertising agencies those clients are connected to are entered. They are used as information on the order to the media. For those clients whose agreement says that they shall have a part of a commission, fee and surcharges, the agency of the client is used to make an agency settlement. In order for this to work, the agency has to be a supplier in the Purchase Ledger.

That means that the system first checks if the discrepancy can be classified to code 1, thereafter code 2, etc. 1 means no discrepancy, 2 allowed discrepancy (normally up to 100 SEK). Number 3 can be ”only client invoice sent”, number 4 “only media invoice received” etc.

The idea with these codes is that when printing lists , you can select to see certain reconciliation codes. It is also easy to book away all discrepancies of a certain type , e.g. approved discrepancies.

When claiming a media invoice you can fetch the text from the register.
