RE: Commission WorkSheet & Commission Percentage

Bonnie,

We use the report but it is pretty ugly.

First, unless you have a real real real real
simple commissions structure that is not item
based it is useless (ie you need to key commissions
info on every order).

Two, it includes all items all the time. Running
it by salesperson is a lengthy process.

Three, the database for commissions was never really
complete, so when you key in the date range it is
based on the creation date of the records not the
actual invoice date. We typically do one last invoice
pass the morning of our close on the day following the
end of month to do late shipments.

But, we change the creation date on the records, customized
the report to exclude non-commisionable items and also
(using a program) change the commission % to be the appropriate
one for the salesman, item, customer.

I would imagine most customers have just done their own report.

Regards

Konrad
