Adding Salesperson Commission Rates

Although you set the option to track sales commissions in Order Entry, you specify whether a particular salesperson earns commissions, and their individual commission rates, in Account Receivable.

You use the Commission tab on the A/R Salespersons screen in Accounts Receivable to specify whether a particular salesperson earns commissions. You also specify one to five commission rates, together with the range of sales amounts to which each rate applies.

For example, a salesperson might be paid 2% commission on the first $10,000 of sales per period, and then 5% on sales over $10,000. You can edit these rates at any time, but the new rates will affect only future commissions.

To add commission rates:

1. Open Accounts Receivable > A/R Setup >  Salespersons.

2. On the A/R Salespersons screen, enter the salesperson code.
3. On the Commission tab, select the Paid Commissions option.
4. For Number of Commission Rates, select the number of commission rates to enter.
5. In the table, specify one to five rates. Enter the rate percentage and enter the total sales amount up to which that rate applies.
6. Click Save to record your entries.
