Supplier Commissions & Receivables (Admin Only)

Last updated on 14 Nov, 2025

Vinosmith can track your Supplier Commission Receivables and provide reports.

Supplier Commission Rates

Vinosmith allows you to capture Commission Rates at the Supplier Level or the individual Wine Level.

Vinosmith will ignore non-inventory items and exclude non-inventory items (wines) from tracking.

Supplier Commission Rate

To enter a commission rate to be applied to all Wines under that Supplier:

  • Click on the Wines tab.

  • Click "Manage Suppliers" on the left.

  • Click on the desired Supplier; then click Edit on the left. 

  • Update the Commission Rate field and save your changes.

Wine Commission Rates

Supplier Commission can be added at the wine level or the price level.

To enter a wine-specific commission rate that will override the Supplier rate

  • Edit the wine as usual and update the Commission Rate field.

To enter a commission rate to be applied for a specific wine for a particular price:

  • Go to the wine

  • In the Prices section, click on Manage.

  • Click on the Label name.

  • Scroll down to the Commission & Bill Backs section.

  • In the box next to Supplier Commission (%), key in the desired rate

  • Click Save

Commission Rate Tracking

As orders are captured, Vinosmith will track the commission rate per line item according to the Wine-specific rate, price rate, or the Supplier rate. 

When viewing the line item on the web, the commission rate is visible underneath the wine name/code. To the right is the total commission for that whole invoice.

Reporting

Vinosmith can generate a PDF report, which you can send to your Suppliers. The report is under the Reports tab and is titled Commission for Supplier. 

This report prompts you to enter a global commission rate to be applied to all line items in the report. If Vinosmith has a non-zero commission rate tracked for that line item, it will be displayed in the report. If the commission rate is zero in Vinosmith, the commission rate entered at the time of report generation will be used.

Commission Rate Precedence:

  1. Price level

  2. Wine

  3. Supplier

  4. Rate

Supplier Commission Payments

As you receive payments from your Suppliers, you can apply these payments to the Vinosmith invoices.
