Markup / Commission
This is the second of six tasks described in this user manual for changing PCM details.
NOTE: The numbering is simply for reference - there is no particular order in which tasks need to be completed and, depending on the PCM, they might not all be needed.
The full list is:
Markup/Commission can be used to change the selling price of a PCM (by adjusting the markup or commission), or to round the prices in a PCM.
The selling price (Retail), Agent Commission (Comm) and Agent Price (Agent) can be set on a service-by-service basis or for the whole PCM.
Manipulation of supplements totals can occur and if required each supplement type for each service as well. (This functionality is due out in NX Version 1.4)
NOTE:
-
Any adjustment made here is known as a 'PCM Markup' because it affects the PCM in total. This is treated differently than the 'Product Markup' (applied via price codes or matrix settings) which are at service level. Any adjustment made here will not be visible at service level. It is included in the Service Details Pax Totals screen.
-
PCM Markup is in addition to any Price Code, Matrix or Header markup(s).
- Changing Markup/Commission TOTALS will only affect services which have a status that is to be 'included' in the Total. Services that are not included in the total can be modified individually.
-
The calculation is always Cost plus Markup equals Retail less Commission equals Agent price.
If there is no commission in a PCM and the Agent price is adjusted (making it higher than the Retail), then that markup will display as a negative commission.

For example, markup of $77.40 and commission of 10%:
