Tracking Commissions & Income from Additional Sources
Boulevard can track additional income earned from sources other than invoices in the Expense area. The types of entries that can be added include but are not limited to income, expenses, and mileage, each of which is grouped separately when expense reports are generated. Before proceeding, ensure that you have created the appropriate Expense category for the type of transaction you will be entering.
- From the toolbar, click
then select New Expense. - Begin typing to enter the applicable information into the Pay To, Number, and Date fields.
- From the New Expense form toolbar, begin typing to drill down and choose a Category, then use your tab key to enter information in the Memo field and tab again to enter the Amount.
- Tab again and select the
(to create another new expense) or 
SAVE to save and close. - Alternatively, if the expense entry needs to be split into more than one category, tab again to select
SPLIT , then add the Category, Memo, and Amount for the additional categories needed.
Examples of additional income
- Commissions: Company commission checks (which can also be split to include expenses such as insurance, etc.)
- Dovetail Income: Income earned from a class you booked but had another consultant hold or customer shipping charges (an expense entry is not needed for customer shipping charges as it is recorded on their invoice and reflected on Gross Receipts reports).
- Fees Collected: Income collected for meetings or any other event, etc. (If you have paid fees for a meeting room, income entries added will offset the expense entry of the room when entered.)
