Media Billing - Client Billing Examples
 

Client Billing setup can be customized in many different ways.  Below are a few examples of some standard setups to illustrate the ways in which Client Billing Setups can accomplish specific billing needs.

1.     The Agency pays the Station Net and the Client will be billed the Station Gross. Agency Commission is Industry Standard 15%.

1.  

Billed Gross Cost set to Gross Cost, Bill Net Cost set to Net Cost, Fee set to % of Gross Cost at 15%. For example: Station Gross $200, Station Net $170, Client Invoice $200.

​

 

2.     The Agency pays the Net Cost and the Client will be billed the Station Gross plus a markup of 5% on the Station Gross. Client Bill should show Client (Station) Gross and Client Net.

1.  

Set the Client Cost in SBMS to 5% of Gross, enter Clt Gross % as 105.00

Set the Client Net % in SBMS to 15%, enter Clt Net % as 85%.

Set the Media Billing options to Bill Based on Client Gross, Billed based on Client Net and % Fee based on Client Gross, 15%. Client Gross should be $210, Client Net should be $178.50 and Client Invoice should be $210.00.

   3.     The Agency pays the Net Cost and the Client will be billed a non-standard commission, e.g. 7.5%, based on the Gross Cost.

1.  

Station Gross, Station Net and % Fee based on Station Gross 7.5%. For example: Station Gross is $200, Station Net is $170, the client pays $170 + (200*.075) = $185.

​

4.     The Client pays the Station directly and the agency bills a Fee only to the client, based on the Station Gross, e.g. 7.5%.

1.  

Select Direct Pay, Bill Gross Cost on Gross Cost, Bill Net Cost on Net Cost, % Fee based on Gross Cost set to 7.5%. For example, Station Gross $200, Station Net $170, Client Invoice is (200*.075) or $15.00.

​

 

To hold the fee should the Vendor Gross go down, uncheck Adjust Fee on Client Billing Setup.
 

5.     The Agency is billing the client for a Network TV estimate and Including the Integration Net on the invoice but not including the integration costs in the Fee Calculation.

The Client invoice is only for October 1 through October 10 and only for the units on the estimate assigned to the "New Sales” Product.
