Posting Finance Commission Against a Stock Record

This guide explains how to post a finance commission receipt against a vehicle stock record in Navigator. Recording these receipts ensures that the dealership’s income is accurately reflected in the stock record and financial reports.

This process is typically performed once the finance provider has paid the commission agreed upon as part of the vehicle sale.

In the pop-up window:

6. Select Payment Method

• Use the dropdown to choose the payment method (e.g. BACS, cheque).

7. Finalise the Posting
