Awaiting Payments

Introduction

The amounts the dealership expects to receive or to pay and has not yet settled

The Awaiting Payments page is a worklist of money that is promised and has not moved. The sidebar entry is named Awaiting.

An awaiting amount is not a ledger entry. Totals on the Transactions page and the figures of the Profit & Loss report do not include it. The amount enters the ledger only when it is completed.

The page needs Financial Records Access. The actions need further permissions.

Where awaiting amounts come from

The page has no button for adding an amount. Every amount belongs to a car or a deal and is created in one of three ways.

  • Apply Template on the Awaiting card of a car or a deal. Templates are managed under Transaction Templates in the dealership settings.
  • Add on the same card.
  • Automatically, when a deal with a sales partner and commission terms is won. The amount is named Commission for followed by the partner name, or Settlement from followed by the partner name when the partner owes the dealership.

The Awaiting card appears on the Payments tab of a car and of a deal.
