What MAJA does for you

  • Each run is numbered and lists the documents it counted.
  • A collection counts when money actually reached the bank or cash — a cheque counts when it clears.
  • If something already paid changes later (a voided invoice, a bounced cheque, a refund), the next run shows the adjustment and carries it.
  • A negative run is saved as carried forward and nets against the next run; nothing is posted.

Pay the commission

  • Outside agent (vendor): on the runs list click Raise bill. MAJA asks you to confirm, then creates a bill (Dr Commission Expense / Cr Accounts Payable) that you pay like any other bill.
  • Employee: add the run to the salary payable from Payroll → Salary Payables.

Good to know

  • Save run stays disabled if the salesman is linked to neither an employee nor a vendor, or a live run already exists for that period (void it first).
  • A plan needs at least one tier with a rate above zero, and its tiers must match the basis you chose.
