Introduction: Commission Report (02-22)

Overview

This selection calculates commissions for the payroll period specified in Preparation for Reports (02-20).

The report must be run for all employees in order for the Commission Summary Report (02-23) and Payroll Interface (02-24) selections to have the correct information.

Commissions are paid on Delivered Sales or Delivered and Paid Sales depending on the ‘Pay Commission/Spiff when A/R Invoice Paid?’ preference set up on the Commissions tab of Commission Preferences (02-90).

Additional Information

Only commission-generating transactions (TW, DZ, and SZ) that meet the specified commission criteria are included on the report. This report, along with the stub information on the paycheck, provides the complete documentation for the earnings recognized for a salesperson during a payroll period.

Commissions are calculated on a transaction by transaction basis. The transaction may be separated into appropriate groups by department or line by line, depending on the Calculation Method selected on the Commission tab of Commission Preferences. The necessary calculations are then made to determine if the sales meet the criteria for commissions.

With this selection, you have the option to suppress the print of detail information for transactions and also to print only a summary page for each salesman.

Spiffs, selling prices, and costs are saved at the time of transaction entry, regardless of whether or not the sale meets the criteria for paying that spiff. When this selection is run, the calculation is made to determine whether or not the Spiff is payable.

When the preference ‘Pay Commission/Spiff when A/R Invoice Paid?’ is set to ‘Y’ in Method of Calc, this selection will search the Previously Unpaid Transaction Workfile for invoices that have been paid and will write them into the Commission Workfile. It will then search current Commission Workfile for any transactions not paid and will write them into the Unpaid Invoice Workfile.
