Financials overview¶
The financial side of the platform turns member turnover into rebates and collects those rebates from suppliers via requests for payment (RFPs). This overview ties those pieces together; each links to its detailed page.
Turnover (the input)¶
Turnover is member spend recorded against a deal's turnover streams. It is captured on the figures-entry screen (with a spreadsheet upload option), reviewed on the per-deal spend view, and managed across deals on the turnover dashboard.
Turnover has a data-quality workflow — figures can be queried (disputed), flagged, commented on, and resolved — and can be reconciled against ERP (accounting) data. Submissions that change figures without edit rights go to an amendment review queue. Monitoring tools (calendar, position, reports) chase missing figures.
Rebates (the output)¶
Turnover feeds rebate calculation. Each deal's earnings appear on the deal rebates view, and across all deals on the rebate management dashboard.
Supporting rebate tools:
- The rebate calendar — income by month.
- Rebate targeting — deals near a rebate band boundary.
- A rebate's detailed breakdown.
- The aged debt and calc issues reports.
- Manual rebate entry for non-calculating rebates.
- What-if analysis and the report builder.
Payment (collecting the money)¶
Rebates are recorded through their payment states (due → holding → paid) and billed to suppliers as requests for payment (RFPs). See recording rebate payments for the full flow, including distribution, scheduling, and chasing.
Projections¶
Turnover projections (built from seasonality and growth) let the platform show estimated future rebates alongside actuals — see Deal seasonality and projections and the forecasting system reference.
Settings that shape all of this¶
Rebate and payment behavior is configured on the Agreements tab of site settings — in/out rebates, projection permissions, VAT rate, RFP naming, and more.
