Payment Updates are not confirmation of income. They are only notices to be used in conjunction with the Weekly Commission Reports. The Associate Distribution Report is the actual confirmation of income.
- Payment Update Emails are manually sent; are not an automatic function of InForm. On occasion, this email may not be sent to the Associate.
- Payment Update Emails may find their way to "Other", "Clutter" or “Junk” Mail folders.
- Payment Updates do not reflect any Teaming that maybe represented on the Booking. Payment Update emails only reflect the total payment posted to the Booking.
- Payment Updates are sent prior to the Associate Distribution Report email, therefore, subject to change.
There are five different payment types:
- Advance - Designates an advance payment has been received.
- Balance - Designates a payment on a consumed booking.
- Partial Balance - Designates a partial payment on a consumed booking.
- Refund - Appears as a negative payment, reflecting a payment back to a supplier.
- Marketing Fee - This is a new status, which will reflect payments from brand partners that are offering incentives as part of their commission strategy.
