Commission Sessions provide a way to calculate and reconcile commissions paid to staff. Commissions can be calculated at a job total or individual stock level, and percent of commission paid can be based on sell price including or excluding tax, or profit. Commission can also be manually entered before or after a job is invoiced, and can be automatically added to a job or quote when entering stock with default commission values, if entered from stock records or promotions.
Individual stock codes can be excluded from commission calculations. For example, we don’t pay commission on labour or freight, etc.

It should be noted that Commission Sessions is a way to assist with the calculation, managing and reconciling of commissions only. The actual payment of commissions is handled as per normal via a cheque entry or general journal. |
