For broker commissions not deducted from the Freight Invoice (specified at the cargo level), you can create a separate invoice. If a Broker in CP Terms Details is set to Partial (the P check box is selected), it is possible to issue a Commission Invoice based on a partial percentage. Like Freight Invoices, it is possible to issue several Commission Invoices, totaling 100%.
