Override salesman commissions

You can override a set commission on a per order basis by product. To complete this procedure, you must have an access level that permits access to the Salesman Commission Menu (File>Company>Access Levels: Sales).

For more information on sales order commissions, see About sales commission matrices.

1. Open either an Order or an Invoice.
2. Go to the Salesman Commissions pop-up:
   • For an Order:
     1. On the Detail tab, right-click a product, and then choose Salesman Commissions.

   

   • For an Invoice,
     1. Click Change.

     

     2. On the Change Invoice pop-up that appears, click Commissions.

     

3. On the Salesman Commissions pop-up that appears, you can change



• Comm Method: The commission method, either on Gross Profit, Merchandise, or Commission.
• Comm %/$: Whether the commission is based on percent or dollars.
• Comm Value: The actual value of the commission, in dollars or percent as specified above.
• Comm Slsm Cost: Commission Salesman Cost. The cost of the product that was used to calculate the salesperson's commissions. This overrides the cost set as the Salesman Commission Cost Column, specified in File>Company>Master: Pricing/Costing.

Note: If you have the File>Company>Master setting Salesman Commission by Product Detail set to a value of No, then the Comm Method, Comm %,/$, and Comm Value columns area hidden.
