Printing out a statement from CJ

[UKOffer]

I find the CJ interface very unfriendly at the best of times but I've been really stumped at how to do something really simple for a while now.

Basically I want to print off a statement or invoice of whatever you want to call it every month for my commission payments. All I want is something that every other network in the world offers and that's the facility to print something off that has my company details on as well as that of the payee (i.e. CJ). I also need it to tell me how much I have earned in a month and therefore how much they have paid me. Nothing fancy, just a figure.

Anyway after emailing CJ support they replied that they don't offer this service. Surely this can't be right? I know I can go to "payment status" and "payment history" and print off individual transactions that make up my monthly payment. But this isn't in a format that I can give to my accountant as it'sjust a load of figures.

Surely CJ can offer something as basic as a monthly commission paid report?

Cheers!

Hmm, yes - me too!

I know they paid me $X last month, some of it from UK merchants, some US merchants, some elsewhere.

Nowhere can I find an easy way of printing - or even viewing - how that payment was made up.

I can do that on TD, AF, AW and lots of Indys - even LS can do that, for God's sake!

why do you need the breakdown? Its invoice date that count, not sale date. As theres no VAT why do you need to seperate UK prograns from the others? Thi is where the confusion is. We get paid by CJ not the merchant. If we were paid by the merchant then of course we would need VAT from UK merchants. But they pay CJ, CJ pay us. Our cleint is CJ. You invoice CJ.

Well call me old-fashioned but I do like to know which merchants have paid me for which sales.

If we were paid by the merchant then of course we would need VAT from UK merchants.

Ah yes, if we were all in the UK, that would be true too!

It's as simple as this really...

Every quarter I go to my accountants with my paperwork, in other words invoices (or remittance notes) and expenditure. From there they work out how much VAT I owe.

Now, for every other creditor whom I work with, I receive some form of paperwork that says - UK Offer Media Ltd., paid £xxxx on 15th April by XYZ company. And then the name and address of the company who has paid me. Nothing clever or detailed, just an amount and the date I was paid.

That is every other company apart from CJ.

With CJ they give me nothing at all that I can pass on to my accountant. Does this not strike anyone else as odd? What do other people give to their accountants?

Cheers!

the point is you can run reports, and the accountant already knows that NO VAT is payable since CJ doesnt pay VAT.

No, that's not the point. Forget about VAT, that is not the issue here. We know VAT does not apply. When I referred to VAT in my post above I meant that my accountant obviously needs to record VAT input and output but we know CJ don't declare it.

The point is that I would like an official remittance advice note/invoice or whatever you call it from CJ every month that tells me what I have earned from them. My accountants can then file this with all my other bookkeeping records and refer back to it if need be.

As I said, not rocket science just a simple statement that has CJ's details on and mine and shows that they have paid me.

Surely that is not too much to ask?

yep, youd think theyd provide that facility. Amazing really.
