How to move a property from one commission agreement to another when you have already published a statement on that agreement for that property.

Written by Emily Tunggala

When your contract with an owner changes — for example, a new commission percentage or a different fee split — but you have already published statements or invoices, using the current reservation commission agreement, you'll need to move the property to a new commission agreement.

Reservation commission agreements that have already been used to generate published Statements and Invoices cannot be deleted.

This is in order to preserve the historical record of past reservation commission agreements and when they were in effect.
