Requiring Documentation for Commission Types

How to require documentation on a commission type, what agents see when submitting a booking, and how documentation is reviewed during commission reconciliation.

Written by Molly Johnson

Background

Documentation requirements let you collect proof, like a supplier booking confirmation, before approving commission on certain booking types.

Setting Up a Documentation Requirement

Only agency owners and admins can configure documentation requirements. They can be added to any commission type.

  1. Go to Back Office > Commission Rules

  2. Open the commission type you want to require documentation for
    For example, Personal Travel.

  3. Turn on "Require documentation"

  4. Add documentation instructions
    These instructions appear to agents when they submit a booking. Be specific about what you need. For example: "Attach a supplier booking confirmation with your name listed as a traveler."

  5. Configure the split for the commission type and save.

What Agents See When Submitting a Booking

When an agent submits a booking and selects a commission type that requires documentation, they will see the documentation requirement when marking the booking as booked.

  1. Mark the booking as booked

  2. Add a file when prompted
    The agent will see your documentation instructions here.

  3. Finish marking the booking as booked

Note: If a commission type requires documentation, the agent cannot mark the booking as booked without attaching a file.

Reviewing Documentation During Reconciliation

When you reconcile commission for a booking with a documentation requirement, you will see the commission type and the submitted documentation.

  • If the documentation meets your requirements, confirm the booking at the configured split.

  • If the documentation does not meet your requirements, change the commission type. For example, you could change it from Personal Travel to a standard agent split.

Documentation Requirements and AI Reconciliation

If AI Reconciliation matches a statement line to a booking with a documentation requirement, the booking is automatically flagged to the "Needs Review" section. You must review bookings in this section before they are added to the reconciled amount approved for payout.
