Taking commission from a supplier payment

If you need to, you can add a commission charge to a supplier. The commission charge is set up as a percentage and can be deducted from a specific expense type, either from the gross or net amount of an invoice.  

The supplier will see a breakdown of the commission deducted on their remittance advice.
