I'm assessing CiviCRM for our membership needs and I'd like to ask for some help regarding membership contributions.

These are the salient points of our membership:

• For every new membership contribution, our branch must submit part of that contribution to head office.
• The amount our branch charges its members varies each year, as does the amount that we must contribute to head office (it's not a percentage).
• For new members joining after 30 Jun we levy a reduced contribution and submit a reduced amount to head office.
• We submit contributions to head office in batches.

Some less pertinent points are:

• Our membership period is fixed for one year - 1 Jan through 31 Dec.
• We have several types of membership but, at the moment, each membership type requires the same contribution amounts.

Is it possible to configure CiviCRM to automatically create a liability against head office for every membership contribution?

How could we manage the contributions that we must make to head office? Ideally, we'd like CiviCRM to report how much money we owe head office.
