The simplest method to record Direct Bill income is to deposit the commission checks (cash receipts) into your bank, and record the monies received directly as income.

If you choose to deposit the monies straight to income:

  • You will not be able to review or report on accounting information specific to policies.
  • You will not be able to Reconcile Producer Payables.
  • You will lose the ability to reconcile the direct bill company statement which can find errors.
  • You will be able to obtain estimated annualized premium production numbers from the Management Tab or the exported Policy Production Report.
    (For policies that are downloaded, the term premiums are included in the download. For policies that are not downloaded, the premium must be entered manually.)

For a more comprehensive feature set, see: Direct Bill: Commission Statement Processing.
