In most offices, the money owed to the producer isn't considered "due" until the agency itself has been paid. Agency Systems can track that for you.
 
 
 
=== Receipt Money (Cash) from the Client Accounting Entries ===
 
If you receive a payment from the client on a direct bill transaction, that is called a transmittal. A transmittal consists of two transactions; cash in, and a check out.
 
 
 
In our example, you can see that there is no balance on client; they owe the money to the company, not you. The transmittal will not change the balance either; the monies will be passed through your office, but will not permanently change the balances.
 
 
 
When the money is received, a cash receipt is created. If this were for $100.00, it would affect these accounts:

|
 
|-
 
|1120
 
|Client Receivable
 
|
 
|style="text-align:right;"|$ 100.00
 
|}
 
 
 
A check is then issued to reset these balances. The check must charge the Accounts Receivable for this client to reset his balance. The payee on the check is overridden to the company.

=== Producer Check Accounting Entries ===
 
The check to the producer is similar; it will reduce your bank account and zero the producer payable. The system can tell which invoices your agency has been paid on so that you only pay the producer for the correct items.

Direct bill refers to an invoice where the client pays the insurance company direct. The agency commission is sent to the agency by the insurance company and recorded with GL 1130 - Company Receivable. In a retail agency, there is no receivable balance from the client (GL 1120 - Client Receivable).

Direct Bill invoices and payments are typically created by commission download or commission builder.
