Commission Overview

The Commissions submodule is used to enter, correct and track commissions for sales. Commissions Entry/Correction F/M (SAE910) allows you to enter/correct commissions in the commission file. The information in this file is used to print the Commission Report. The Commission Report prints a commission report for each salesman. Commissions may be based on the salesman’s %, item % of customer % as set by the priority in the company static control record and may be calculated on gross sales or gross margin. The report divides commissions into paid and unpaid sales. In order to bring these sales up to date when the Commission Report is run, users must run the Flag Commissions For Payment program. This program runs through each invoice for each salesperson/territory and flags the invoice as to whether it has been paid. The Commission Report is not related to SA periods but rather to the invoice dates. You can run it, as needed, by date and optionally remove records after the report is printed.

The following programs are located on this menu:

Commission Entry/Correction F/M, which is used to enter/correct commissions in the commission file.

Commission Report (SAR330), which is used to print a Commission Report to determine which invoices have commissions eligible for payment.

Flag Commissions for Payment (SAU310), which is used to update the pay/hold status codes in the commission file.
