Using +D or D in Guarantee is very easy and simple. +D is the guarantee plus the door and D is the door amount over the guarantee.  So, how does one use this option?  If you will follow the steps below you will be able to you +D or D in no time.  

First, lets start with this scenario. You have an artist that is getting a $1,000 commission. The artist is also getting 30% of the door.  So you enter in the $1000 into the Guarantee and then go the Split-Pnt Indicator and do a CNTRL^D and choose +D.

Then you enter into the percentage .30 for 30%. and tab through.

Then you continue to add the contract.  After the date has played and the BOD (Begin of Day), so that the contract status is a status U, has been run then you go to GL Key Entries.  In this example your artist received $100.  You enter that amount into the Total Artist Amount Received.

Then you click on Contract Listing and two messages are going to pop up.

Click yes and then this message will pop up:

Click yes again.  Your contract will go back to a status A and your commission will have been recalculated to incorporate the $100 the artist received.  In this scenario the total guarantee was $1100, so the commission would be $110 dollars

After you have seen that the commission is in fact the right commission, in this case $110, then you can re-run the BOD and the status will go back to U and reflect the artist owes you a $110.
