Commission is something seem easy, yet never easy. What make it difficult is not the calculation method itself, but more into how and when the readily calculated commission can be released too sales people. For example, some company may says, OK, we have SO we have Invoice, commission is calculated, but to release it, the invoice must has been paid first. Some says, not enough, the money must be in the bank too. Some says, need the be paid on time and the selling price must not too low, etc…and guess what, it could be more complex than this especially when deal with SMEs.

Our commission module is very much focus on the release condition of commissions, which we think is very important for our customer requirement. For the commission calculation, though at the beginning we have 5 method (for most customers, should be enough), but we have make sure that our code is good enough for easy extension.

Concept

Each Salesperson (or Team) will have 1 Worksheet per Period. Each worksheet will list commission lines, each with a calculated commission to be released as Commission Invoice. Commission amount will be created based on the Commission Rule assiged to each Salesperson (or Team). Whether each commission line is "Ready" will be based Release Conditions specified for each salesperson / team. If those conditions are met (e.g., is paid, due date, etc) the commission line status will be changed to "Ready", and the commission invoice then can be created for that particular salesperson. And whether or not the commission is ready, user can always force release or skip.

Workflows

Assign commission rule and release conditions for all salesperson / sales team. Use Configuration > Salesperson (or Sales Team).
In each Sales Order, as salesperson assigned, resulting Customer Invoice will have that salesperson / team in "Salesperson/Team and Commission" section of Other Info tab. This mark this invoices as eligible for commision for this salesperson.
Create Commission Worksheet for Salesperson / Team vs Period of interest.

Commission Rules

Commission Rules: Multiple Rules can be created. The amount of calculation will be based on Invoice Amount. Currently, there are 5 commission calculation methods available.
- Fixed Commission Rate -> Commission = [Commission Rate] * [Base Amount]
- Product Category Commission Rate -> Commission = SUM([Category Rate] * [Product Line Base Amount])
- Product Commission Rate -> Commission = SUM([Product Rate] * [Product Line Base Amount])
- Product Commission Rate Step -> Commission = SUM([Product Rate] * [Product Line Base Amount]), where [Product Rate] is based on the Sales Unit Price.
- Commission Rate by Order Amount -> Commission = [Commission Rate] * [Base Amount], where [Commission Rate] depends on the amount of invoice.
