Agency commission

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.


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

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.

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

Special agreement

It you work with for example 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.

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.
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 order currency to base currency when invoicing

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”)

For notes regarding the agreement, the client, etc. Note that this text only is available here.

Own fields

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.

E-mail If address is wanted as suggestion when mailing orders and plans.

Reconciling codes

Discrepancies that occur if the media invoice does not agree with client invoice are automatically marked with discrepancy codes- reconciliation codes- according to the rules that are set in the reconciliation codes.

Code Selected code
Name In the example: not approved positive discrepancy .
Client invoices The code allows unlimited discrepancies, positive or negative.
Media invoices The code allows unlimited discrepancies, positive or negative.

(Same on booked away amounts and pending discrepancies).

Discr. Negative amt. A 0-0 interval means negative discrepancies are not allowed.
Discr. Positive amt. If the insertion has a positive discrepancy from 101 SEK and up, this insertion gets this reconciliation code. Positive discrepancy means that we have invoiced more from the client than media has invoiced us.
Valuation order In this case five (5). 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.
