This topic explains the user/freelancer reconciliation process if you are working with Sales Targets.
When issuing a payment requisitions for a user/freelancer, separate payment requisitions are issued for each month.
Each payment requisition covers all incentive fee records with a value date in that month. The value date of the payment requisition is the value date of the earliest incentive fee record covered by the document.
When creating incentive fee records, the system only creates incentive fee records for vouchered transactions and transaction fees with a tax invoice. If you have a travel file with multiple transactions and transaction fees, and the vouchers and tax invoices are issued in separate months, the incentive fee records will be covered by separate payment requisitions and the selling price of each transaction will be compared to a different monthly target.
You can search for payment requisitions Pending for Final Payment according to the month they are valued, allowing you to choose which month to compare the user/freelancer's sales to their target.
When issuing a remittance for payment requisitions, the system compares the user/freelancer's monthly sales of the most recent payment requisition selected with the target for that month to determine if the user/freelancer is entitled to receive an incentive or if the incentive amount needs to be multiplied by a factor.
If the user/freelancer did not meet their minimum monthly target for the month of the most recent payment requisition selected, a message will be displayed with this information, you will be unable to issue the remittance, and the payment requisitions for that month will no longer be displayed in Pending for Final Payment search results.
If you still want to issue the remittance, search for Artificial payment requisitions, select the payment requisitions and issue the remittances.
If the user exceeded their monthly target, the system multiplies the incentive amount by the relevant factor and issues an additional payment requisition on the difference.
If in addition to the payment requisition for the most recent month, you select a payment requisitions with a value dates from a previous month, the system checks if an incentive was already paid to the user/freelancer in the previous month.
If in the previous month, no payment was made because the user did not reach the minimum sales target level, no amount will be added or deducted, and the payment requisition will no longer appear in Pending for Final Payment search results.
If an incentive had already been paid to the user, any amount that needs to be added or deducted from the remittance will be multiplied by the factor of the target level for the previous month. An additional payment requisition, with a value date for the previous month, will be issued for the difference.
If in the most recent month the user is not entitled to receive an incentive, the payment requisition for the previous month will remain uncovered and you can use it in future reconciliations.
For the following examples, in the User/Freelancer Incentive module, the following Sales Target levels are defined:
The Incentive Value Date is the Issue date of document that balanced the travel file.
