Mobile Phone Software-Commission Handling

There is no limit to the service providers, tariffs, commissions and additional extras that can be set up. Where connections are made for consumers (not dealers), PRIAM calculates the commissions due from various areas. These are then reported in as commissions due from the service provider, are taken into account in the sales analysis reports, and are also held in a cash book. When statements arrive from the service provider, they can be imported into the commissions cash book from e-mail and automatically reconciled on an open item basis. This means that if a particular sale involved tariff commission, handset commission and accelerator bonus then these components are marked individually as paid with the balance e.g. the accelerator, left as outstanding.
When phones are sold by distributors to dealers, the distributor can either connect the phone for the dealer or allow the dealer to do so. At the point of selling to the dealer the phone is shown on an 'in channel' report with an anticipation of connection.
When the dealer receives the commissions statement from the service provider, the dealer can now be paid on a self-billing invoice whatever proportion of the commission agreed. The distributor can also chase phones via the in channel report, possibly sold net, that have not been connected.
