SD-N Sales Commission Defaults

 

Field Descriptions

Enter Commissions at Sales Order Entry?

If you answer yes to this prompt, the commission percentage will be displayed for salesperson 1 and salesperson 2 (if applicable) in a pop-up window while entering the sales order header.  The system will default to the salesperson(s) assigned to the Ship-To address or, if none are assigned, it next looks to the Bill To address.  You can accept the salespersons and percentages shown or change them on-the-fly.  If you answer no, the salesperson(s) number will be displayed and can be changed but  the percentage window will not be displayed and the system will use percentages assigned at the customer level or, if none are assigned by customer, the program will use the salesperson percentages defined in CS-A  Enter Salespersons

Enter Commissions at Line Item Entry?

If you want to vary commissions at the line item level and have the ability to override them during sales order entry, enter Y to this prompt.  As each line item is entered, the default commission will be shown in a pop-up window for salesperson 1 and salesperson 2 (if applicable).  Line item commissions can automatically override the default percentages entered in the sales order header on an exception basis if commissions are defined in either CS-K  Enter Price Code Commissions or CS-M  Enter Contract Commissions or if an item has been excluded from commissions in IN-B  Enter Inventory .   If you answer N to this prompt, any commissions defined in those programs will be automatically used.  If you want the ability to see the commissions and override them, then answer Y to this prompt.

Enter Commissions for 2 Salespersons?

If you never split commissions between two salespersons, answer N to this prompt; otherwise answer Y.  When two salesperson fields are displayed in sales order entry, you are not required to use the second salesperson field.

Have CS-D print a report of Employee Commissions?

If you do not use the internal payroll, then the Commission Transfer can print a report of Employee payroll for entry into whatever payroll is used.

Enable Extended Commissions?

If this is set to Y then the Commissions will be based on the information entered using CS-G Enter Sales Rep Links.  See EXTENDED COMMISSIONS for a detailed description of how the Extended Commissions system works.  Since the commissions are assigned to orders when they are released using SO-E  Release Sales Orders there can be no orders released but not invoiced when this setting is enabled.  You will also not be able to release orders using SO-A  Enter Sales Orders when using Extended Commissions.

Save Zero dollar value Commissions?

If this is set to Y, then the Commission file will be updated for $0 commissions if a rep is assigned to a customer or item so that sales reports can be run to track sales by rep even if commissions are not paid.  This requires use of the Extended Commission System.

Use COGS Department for GL Expense?

If this is set to Y then the Department on the Item Class COGS account will also be used for the GL posting of commission expense.
