How it works

After releasing trust funds and settling all outstanding invoices, the final step in completing a sale is paying the remaining funds to the vendor. Box + Dice simplifies this process through a pending transaction that can be quickly processed from the Statement screen.

Note: Before processing the vendor payment, make sure that all trust funds have been released and that every advertising and commission invoice has been fully processed, as pending or incomplete items may prevent the transaction from being created successfully.

Once these steps are complete, a pending transaction will appear for the remaining funds allocated to the vendor.


Process the vendor payment

To process the vendor payment:

  • Go to: Sales > Listings 
  • Select the listing
  • Click Accounting > Statement
  • Locate the transaction Pending Payment of Trust Money to Client
  • Click Process 

The Payment of Trust Money to Client modal will appear.

The vendor(s) will be automatically listed in the payment modal. You can adjust the recipients as needed.  If payment details do not automatically populate, complete all fields.

  • Enter the Transaction Date
  • Select the Contact
  • Enter the Amount 
  • Select Payment Type
  • Optionally tick Exclude from ABA for manual payment
  • Enter Bank Details
  • (Optional) Use Add ContactAdd Vendor’s Solicitor, or Combine Payment

  • Click Process to complete

A Trust Payment – Account Sale Vendor or Account Sale Vendor Solicitor record will be created, and the funds will be disbursed accordingly.

Tip: Review the Statement screen after processing to confirm that the vendor payment has been successfully recorded and that the trust ledger reflects the updated balance.
