One of the big impacts of the largely positive upgrade to PMv2 is that there is no longer a clear/simple way see the separation of Commission vs. reimbursed expenses for us as PMs.
I understand the shift to "everything is an expense" from an owner statement reporting perspective -- and my owner statements are better for it! However there is a significant benefit in us being able to differentiate between Commission (which is based on a percentage of revenue) and general expenses that are reimbursements (cleanings, maintenance, supplies, taxes, etc.).
The recent update removed Bookings and Expenses columns from Owner Statements grids in light of this change. On the PM Statements grid, I'd like to see a return of those columns but with Commissions and Expenses as the categories. That would allow us to view Commission segregated out from reimbursed expenses.
Commissions are the best indicator of how a month performed compared to a previous month — or even a previous year year. When all lumped together with Reimbursed Expenses, that indicator is skewed because it could have just been a high maintenance month.
PMs would still strongly benefit from seeing Reimbursed Expenses segregated out from Commissions — even while they’re all now considered owner expenses in the backend.
