RE: Commissions Processing

["Devin Bowen \(E-mail 2\)" <devinbowen@xxxxxxxx>]

Mark,

BPCS commissions processing (vanilla - no mods) will only suffice in cases
of VERY simple requirements (and since sales isn't content with a simple
plan ... :).  you can maintain the calculated commission amounts after BPCS
calculates them but before payment "generation" but change options are
limited.  keep in mind that there is no integration with ACP, so the
invoices will need to be keyed from the posted commissions report.

the way you currently have your settings, different products will not have
different rates.  two salespersons can share an order by using the primary
salesperson (defaults from rcm) and manually keying a secondary salesperrson
(in order entry).

the only way to know if it will meet your needs will be to pound on it in
your test environment.  files of interest are: scr (commissions
percentages), scw (commissions workfile), ssm (salesperson master).

good luck

Devin

Subject: Commissions Processing


We are running BPCS 6.04, full gui, July cumulative with numerous BMRs on
OS400 V4R4.

We have a new requirement to begin paying commissions to sales
representatives.  Does anyone use the BPCS commissions processing?

We are preparing to load some sample orders into our test environment.  We
have set the system parameters (SAL821D) to:

No - Commission at Line Level
Yes - Pay Commission upon Payment
No - Commission on Special Lines

What provisions are there for making adjustments after Commissions have been
generated (SAL600) and updated (SAL610)?  For example, the
order should have been shared with another sales rep. and it was not
discovered until later.  Or, the wrong sales rep. was coded.

How do you handle certain special charges that should be included for
commissions and others that should not?

Thank you for your support,
Mark Shank
