Automatic Accrual of Commission

3.2.19 Automatic Accrual of Commission

When the batch process is run as part of EOD, the commission components of the active (authorized and not yet liquidated) LC contracts will be accrued. Accrual is usually performed from the last liquidation date to the current date. Since commission is calculated for rounded periods, the final accrual on the expiry date will be for the full rounded period.

When the accrual is done, the relevant accounting entries for the accrued components will be passed. The internal accounts will be updated with the accrual related details.

Typical accounting entries that are passed include:

If collected in Arrears

Table 3-5 Accounting Entries

Role	Role Description	Amount Tag	Dr/Cr
COMM_CUST_ACC	Customer account	Commission	Dr.
CENC	Commission Earned Not Collected	Commission	Cr.

If collected in Advance,

Table 3-6 Accounting Entries

Role	Role Description	Amount Tag	Dr/Cr
COMM_CUST_ACC	Customer account	Accrual amount	Dr.
COMM_RIA	Commission Received in Advance	Accrual amount	Cr.

The level at which accrual entries are passed depends on your definition of branch parameters. To recall, the accrual entries can be configured to be passed either at the contract level or the product level.

Either way, the details of accruals for each contract will be available in the Accrual Control List. The details of this report, the procedure for generation and the contents are discussed in the topic on Reports.
