Adding Salesperson Commission Rates

You maintain salesperson commission rates with the salesperson records in Accounts Receivable.

To track commissions, you must:

• In the Order Entry Options form, select the Track Commissions option.

• In Accounts Receivable, select the Paid Commissions option for each salesperson who earns commissions.

• In Inventory Control, select Allow Commissions for each inventory category for which salespeople can earn commissions.

Note: Category commission rates will override salesperson commission rates.

This also means that if you calculate commissions using rates added to the inventory category (maintained in Inventory Control), you do not have to enter rates with salesperson records in Accounts Receivable.

If you need to vary commission rates for items, you can change the categories for items when you enter orders.

To add commission rates for salespersons in Accounts Receivable:

1. Choose Salespersons from the Accounts Receivable Setup folder.

2. Type the salesperson number, or select it with the Finder.

3. Choose the Paid Commissions option on the Commissions tab and specify the number of commission rates you wish to enter.

4. Type the total sales amount up to which the rate applies.

5. Click Save to record your entries.
