If you run payroll yourself, the question that matters is how much of the money in your account is already spoken for. Should be in your bank is the first number on the Simple mode page, and it answers that from what you have entered in JourneyFuse.
This is expected money, not your balance. JourneyFuse can’t see your bank account. The number is what your entries add up to, so compare it with your real balance. If they differ, something was spent, or a deposit hasn’t been entered yet.
Should be in your bank = Pay now + Holding + payments not on a booking yet − deductions
The breakdown under the number shows each part:
| Line | What it counts |
|---|---|
| Pay now, before deductions | Each agent’s share of money that has arrived and is free to pay. It includes money on a trip with no agent yet, and the line says how much. |
| Holding for future trips | Each agent’s share of money that has arrived for a trip not yet released by your Hold payouts until setting, with the next release date. |
| Payments not on a booking yet | What’s left of every payment you entered that hasn’t been placed on a booking. |
| Deductions | Recalls and amounts you took off an agent’s next payout. |
The Pay now tile on the page can read lower than this line, because the tile is already net of deductions and leaves out trips with no agent. Still coming from suppliers is never part of this number, because that money hasn’t arrived.
A deduction only counts up to what that agent has here. If an agent has $30 waiting and a $100 deduction, $30 comes off this number and the rest waits for their later payouts.
Click See every booking under the number for one list across all your agents, in trip date order. Each row shows:
A row’s date and check come from the payment it was entered on. A commission marked received by hand has no payment behind it, so its check shows Not recorded.
Under the list, a sentence ties the rows back to the number at the top. Click Download CSV to take the same list to a spreadsheet or your bookkeeper.
A held commission follows its trip. If you rebook a trip or change Hold payouts until in Settings → Commissions → Payouts & Tax, unpaid commissions move to the new release date on their own, and the number moves between Pay now and Holding to match. Commissions already paid or already in a payout never change, and neither does one you chose to pay early.
Why doesn’t it match my bank balance? It only knows what you’ve entered. Your balance also includes your own commission, money you’ve spent, and any deposit not entered here. Enter or place the missing payments first, then look at what’s left.
Why is my agency’s own share not included? Pay now and Holding count what your agents are owed, because that’s the money you need to keep. A payment that isn’t on a booking yet counts in full, since JourneyFuse can’t split it until you place it.
Can I enter several bookings at once? Yes. In Enter a payment, paste a list of booking numbers separated by spaces, commas or new lines into the booking search. Every match is added to the payment, and any number that wasn’t found is named so you can check it.
This is part of JourneyFuse’s travel commission tracking: expected commissions, supplier statements and payouts.
Bulk-import a spreadsheet of commissions — any supplier, any sale type, and your whole team's sales in one file.
Record what each sale was worth, not just what it earned, so you can see where your agency stands against supplier commission tiers.
Keep a large commission, or an advisor's first big one, out of every payout until an owner or admin has looked at it.
