Establish both  listing and selling deductions for professional referral fees (e.g., LS  Professional Referral Fee, SS Professional  Referral Fee)  If more than one referral  is possible on a closing, then additional referral deductions must be added  (cannot repeat same deduction on a transaction).  
   Note deductions cannot be deleted once entered, but can be de-activated  
   Fields denoted  in Red indicate a required entry
   Use descriptions  that are easily recognizable beginning with LS for Listing Side and SS for  Selling Side deductions

   Enter Amount/Percent

       - If deduction  creates a banking transaction, a cash G/L account (e.g., 1010, 1020,  etc…) must be assigned
- If deduction  does “not” create a banking transaction, a non cash G/L account (e.g., 4000,  6500, etc...) must be assigned
 
Assign the  deduction to a vendor

- If deduction  creates a banking adjustment, assign  “None” as the vendor
- If  deduction does “not” create a banking  transaction,  assign “None” as the vendor
   
Create all  possible deductions so that they are available during commission processing
   - Note must create  multiple deductions if more than one may applied on one side of a commission  (e.g., 2 referrals on same side) deductions cannot have identical name (e.g., LS Referral One and LS Referral Two)
