What this section is
Channel commissions is the per-stay (or per-entry) register of OTA/channel deductions vs gross booking value and net receipt. Record gross, commission %, amount, and net; settle when the remittance covers the line; void mistakes. Distribution → OTA commissions / Remittance reconciliation is the hub and bank-batch side — this register holds the detail lines (also linked from that hub).
In the owner dashboard
Open Commission & channel charges under Listing / Property after you claim a stay. Same vocabulary as Help Academy.

Do this
Step-by-step
-
Open Channel commissions
Finance → Commissions (or Distribution → Commissions → register). Filter by date/channel.
India example: MMT · gross ₹10,000 · 15% · ₹1,500 · net ₹8,500. -
New entry
Create linked to reservation/channel when possible. Confirm amounts against the OTA statement.
India example: B.com stay · recorded status. -
Settle with remittance
When Distribution remittance batch is booked, Settle the covered lines. Investigate variance (promo fees, TDS).
India example: Week-2 remittance matched → settle three lines.
Tips
Default % on OTA connections is a guide — statement wins. · Travel-agent commission is not this register — that lives under Travel agents / separate deals.
Common mistakes
Counting gross OTA booking as cash in the bank — commission never arrives.
