Setting up Fee Items for NAR eCommerce and M1 Splits

Updated
The Goal: Set up fee items for NAR eCommerce and M1 Splits so that funds are correctly directed to the National, State, or Local association level.

Before You Begin:

  • Your association must be a REALTOR® Association using NAR's eCommerce. The key consideration is where the funds should be directed (to the National, State, or Local association level).
  • Only fee item types of Donation, Event Registration, Late Fee, Membership Dues, and PAC are available to be set up in NRDS Splits.
  • You need Full Control access to Billing to edit the accounting type and GL accounts associated with a Fee Item.

 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Follow the steps described in Setup Standard Fee Items to create your fee item.
    IMPORTANT! Only fee item types of Donation, Event Registration, Late Fee, Membership Dues, and PAC are available to be set up in NRDS Splits.
  2. Complete the NAR eCommerce Splits settings: assign the Split Association (Association, National, or State) and, if needed, enter the Association Bank ID. 
    This can also be done in the Real Estate Financial Settings in the M1 Splits. 

  3. Complete the M1 Financial Mapping settings: if needed, enter the NRDS Payment Type. See M1 Financial Mapping for further information. (This can also be done in the Real Estate Financial Settings in the M1 Splits.)

Common Pitfalls

  • Editing a Fee Item after creation: Once a Fee Item has been created, only those with Full Control access to Billing will be allowed to edit the accounting type and GL accounts associated with it.
  • AP Mode locks fee items: If AP Mode is enabled, no changes may be made to the fee item once saved. See Accepted Practices Mode (AP Mode) for further information.
