Payback, percent paid and pace

Record remittances correctly and read percent paid, pace and the projected payoff the way the CRM calculates them.

A short walkthrough video is coming. The written steps below cover everything in the meantime.

Why it matters

Percent paid drives renewal eligibility, and pace is your early warning that a merchant is slipping. Both are only as current as the last remittance you recorded, so keeping them fed is the single most useful habit after funding.

Record what the lender reports

  1. 1Open the funded deal and click Record remittance.
  2. 2Choose Single payment to log one debit (with Result: Cleared or Returned (NSF), and a Return code for returns), or Remitted to date to enter the lender's running total from its portal or report.
  3. 3Enter the amount and date and click Save.
  4. 4For many deals at once, click Import remittances on the Funded list, drop the lender's CSV, pick the Lender and Report date, click Preview matches, fix or skip any row, then click the Apply button (it shows how many rows will be applied).

The import matches each row by deal reference first, otherwise by merchant name (85 out of 100 or better). Each matched row becomes a remitted-to-date entry, and a status column in the file updates the servicing status.

How the numbers are worked out

remitted          = latest remitted-to-date total + cleared payments dated after it
                    (all cleared payments when there is no total)
percent paid      = remitted / payback x 100   (capped at 100)
balance           = payback - remitted   (never below 0)
scheduled per day = daily payment, or weekly / 5, biweekly / 10, monthly / 21
expected by today = scheduled per day x business days since funding
pace %            = remitted / expected by today x 100
projected payoff  = today + balance / (remitted / business days so far)
Returned payments never count. Split (percent of sales) deals have no fixed schedule, so they show no pace.

Worked example

A $40,000 advance at a 1.32 factor has a payback of $52,800, paid at $359.18 a business day. Eighty business days after funding, the lender's portal showed $24,500 remitted to date. Since then you have logged six cleared payments and one returned (R01).

FigureArithmeticResult
Remitted24,500 + 6 x 359.18 (the return is ignored)$26,655.08
Percent paid26,655.08 / 52,80050.5%
Balance52,800 - 26,655.08$26,144.92
Expected by today359.18 x 80$28,734.40
Pace26,655.08 / 28,734.40about 93% of schedule
Actual rate26,655.08 / 80$333.19 a business day
Projected payoff26,144.92 / 333.1979 business days from today

Because the newest payment bounced, the status turns to NSF returns. The progress bar marks the renewal threshold; at a 50% threshold this merchant has just crossed it. Pace under 85% is shown in amber.

Common mistakes

  • Logging single payments and then a remitted-to-date total that already includes them. That is fine: the total replaces everything before its date. Logging payments dated before the latest total does nothing.
  • Recording a payment twice. Remove the extra entry with the delete button on the Remittances list; the deal recalculates.
  • Leaving the funded Payment blank. Without it the CRM has no schedule, so there is no pace, and projected dates wait until remittances show the merchant's actual rate.
