Run the Commissions Report to calculate the sales commissions for all or part of your company's sales force. Totals and grand totals are calculated for each salesperson.
By default you can only run this report for your own user ID. To run the report for other users, you must be assigned the COMMISSIONS.USER.AUTH authorization key.
The transactions selected for a salesperson or writer are based on the salesperson or writer identified in the header of the sales order.
Commissions are calculated for a salesperson according to the commission plan assigned to that salesperson. You can also assign a commission plan to a customer on the Miscellaneous Customer Information screen in Customer Maintenance, or to a sales order on the Additional Header Data screen off the SOE Header screen. A commission plan assigned to a sales order overrides a commission plan assigned to a customer, which overrides a commission plan assigned to a salesperson.
To calculate commission, the system:
Determines the gross profit percent for the product on the order.
Determines the respective commission percentage that is applied to the value, GP$, Sales$ or Net Sales$, in the Comm Base field or the Calculate Comm Base on field, if that is used to override all commission plans.
Calculates the commission on the item, group, or order.
Your company can choose whether to pay commissions on orders that are paid late. The Max Collection Days is the number of days past the invoice or due date, depending on the setting for the Maximum Collection Days Date control maintenance record, after which sales commissions are not paid. You can specify the maximum number of collection days for a customer and sales order. A sales order's setting overrides the customer's setting.
When running the Commissions Report, you need to specify how to handle the maximum collection days. Use the Items Over Max Collection Days field to include or exclude the late-paid orders, or report on them only.
After the information for each order, group, or item is printed, a separate line displays the freight deducted from the commission, if that option was applied to any of the commission plans.
