In the UK agents generally receive a discount or commission off the gross price of the tuition they book.  Sundry items are occasionally discounted, for example the registration/booking fee.

There are three different price types for setting agent discounts & Commissions. These are set up directly within the agents record in Class.

For example an agent could receive 20% off the gross selling price for all tuition.

Group

This provides a method …

An agent can have different discount and commission rates set up.

These are entered within the Agents “Pricing” screen.

Each Agent will have a ‘Default’ set up for Tuition, Accommodation, Transfer and Sundry.  The default is where you can record the agent’s general discount and commission rates.

If the agent is also to receive further discounts on specific courses you can add an ‘Item’ or a ‘Group’

The disc/comm price groups are for use with agents pricing.

A price group can be assigned to any number of agents and each agent can have a different discount/commission rate applied for the price group.
