      • Accounting

        This area allows you to specify how a broker is paid and whether they receive a 1099 form.

        Note: To see how this broker's commissions are paid on agency and direct bill items for all agencies in your system, click the Agency/Direct Bill Commissions link label. The Agency/Direct Bill Commissions window displays. To print a list of the agencies installed and their commission payment methods for this broker, click the Print icon to the left of the list. When you are finished reviewing information, click Close.

        If the method is set to Accounting Method, it means the broker is paid based on the way the agency has been installed to post broker commissions to the General Ledger in Accounting Methods Configuration.

        You may change the agency and/or direct bill commission payment method for this broker for any or all agencies via the Modify Agency/Direct Bill Commission Method for a Producer/Broker action.

        1. Select/deselect the checkboxes as applicable.

           • Receivable: The organization receives the receivable payment from the broker. If this checkbox is selected, Applied Epic filters the Send Invoice To - Broker Account lookup.
           • • Bill broker net: The broker retains their share of the payment and is only billed the net amount (agency minus broker) rather than being billed for the gross amount and then paid by the agency.
           • Commission Payable: The broker shares commission on direct bill business or agency bill business. If this checkbox is selected, Applied Epic filters Producer/Broker Commission.
           • Premium Payable: The organization remits the net premium to the broker on agency bill business or receives their direct bill commission from the broker. If this checkbox is selected, Applied Epic filters the broker Premium Payable validation list.
           • Receives 1099 form

           • Automatically post to GL: The system automatically creates month-end journal entries for this broker for each transaction with which they are associated. The agency does not have to keep track of the total commission that the broker is supposed to receive. It is automatically done within the month-end journal entries.

        2. Enter the broker's FEIN.
        3. Enter the broker's Social Security # if applicable.
        4. In the Batch payment method dropdown menu, select Disbursements or Journal Entry.

        5. GL Subaccount is filled in automatically. To change the GL subaccount, do the following:

           1. Click Actions on the menubar or options bar.
           2. Select Modify General Ledger Subaccount.
           3. Choose a Payable subaccount in the window that displays.
           4. Click Finish or press [Enter].

           When a broker is added, the following required subaccounts are generated:

           • Broker Payable
           • Deferred Broker Payable
           • Agency Bill Income
           • Direct Bill Income
           • Broker Premium Payable
           • Broker Premium Payable Write-Off
           • Deferred Broker Premium Payables
           • Interagency Broker Premium Payables
           • Interagency Broker Premium Receivables
           • Direct Bill Commission Cash On Account
           • Premium Payable Cash On Account
           • Direct Bill Receivables
           • Broker Commission Payables Write-Off (only if the system is or once was installed to reconcile broker commission payables)
           • Commission Payable Cash On Account (only if the system is or once was installed to reconcile broker commission payables)
           • Binder Bill Payable (only if the system is or once was installed to enable binder bill transactions)

        Select the appropriate radio button to indicate whether the broker works for one of your agencies or works externally:

        1. • Internal agency (If the agency exists in Applied Epic, select the agency the broker represents.)
           • External broker

        Click here to learn more about internal and external brokers.

        You can share commission among offices in your organization. To support this functionality, define brokers as External (not part of your organization) or Internal (part of your organization). This helps large organizations that broker business through internal offices. The offices share commission, so the system needs to generate entries for the receiving and payable offices to track money. Applied Epic includes Interagency Commission general ledger required accounts to post the interagency Month-End entries.

        To share commission, enter the other offices as Internal brokers. The Broker Account detail screen lets you set the broker type:

        1. • External: An external broker is the agent down the street who cannot write business through a particular carrier, so they come to your agency to place that business. Month-End posts the broker’s payable commission to the standard Broker Payable and Broker Expense accounts.
           • Internal: Indicates a broker in your organization. You must select the internal office the broker represents:
           • • Agency: If the agency exists in Applied Epic, select the agency the broker represents. Month-End posts to the Interagency Commission Payable account instead of the standard Broker Payable account, and it posts to the Interagency Commission Expense account instead of the standard Broker Expense account. Month-End also posts to the Interagency Commission Receivable and Interagency Commission Income accounts for the receiving office.
             • Not Defined in System: If the agency does not exist in the system, select the Not Defined in System option. Month-End posts to the Interagency Commission Payable account instead of the standard Broker Payable account, and it posts to Interagency Commission Expense account instead of the standard Broker Expense account. Since the agency does not exist in Applied Epic, the corporate accountant needs to move money from the Interagency Commission Payable account to the appropriate corporate general ledger account for the other office.
      • Broker Payable Contracts
