Please Note: The prevailing consignor split percentage is the percentage recorded in each item record (which may be different from the default percentage recorded in the Consignor Record). Correct incorrect percentages using the Percentage Tool in the Consignors Work Area.

Batch Settlements

A time-saving feature is the ability to process all or a select number of settlements at one time. All accounts are updated and disbursement checks are prepared when appropriate.

Helpful Tip: Process settlements in 'batch' by grouping settlements. For example, if settlements greater than a certain amount (like $15) are to be treated differently from settlements less than a certain amount (like $15), set the minimum settlement amount to $15 (in Program Setup on the Consignors Tab).

These settlements require special processing and are not included in Aged Batch Settlements:

1. Consignors with negative store credit
2. Consignors owing mall charges
3. Consignors from whom items have been purchased items outright

Why are values carried out to 4 and 5 decimal places in BCSS? For accuracy. With only 2 decimal places, a sum of (percentages times amounts) won't equal the percentage applied to the total of the amounts. The inaccuracy becomes more important for large settlements.

Process Batch Settlements

Select Batch Settle from the Settlements Menu: (Intro: Select Batch Settlement from the Consignors Menu.)

The screen lists all Consignors who have Settlements due along with Consignor ID, Settlement #, Amount, Sales Value and Date of Last Settlement (if any).

Check all Consignors whose accounts are to be settled. (Use 'Check All' and 'Check None' for convenience.)

Select a Payment Method. If groups of Consignors are to be paid by different methods (Cash, PayPal, Check, Credit, Gift Certificate), select the payment method and only select Consignors who are to be paid by that method. (Ignore the check # if Consignors are being paid other than by check.)

Click 'Save, Print, Exit' to print or 'Save and Exit' to save the transaction without printing.

The Batch Settlement screen will close leaving the Settlements Work Area in view.

In the background BCSS will make the necessary calculations and adjustments to accounts and prepare checks for printing where appropriate.

Proceed to Disbursements to print checks and/or to Employees to pay commissions, or do these at another time.

Important Disbursement Adjustment

If a Settlement is deleted, go to the Disbursements Work Area and mark the corresponding disbursement as canceled.
