Accounting>File>Sales Commission>Commissions Information
Each salesperson must be assigned an active commission schedule. If commissions are not paid, either just disregard its information or enter 0.00 as the amount to be paid as commission. The system has an active commission schedule already installed, which will be used as the default until custom commission schedules are entered.
For future reporting, it is recommended to make salespersons inactive rather than deleting them when necessary.
When first beginning payroll on the RFMS system, commission records may come from a hand or previously used system. Continue to do so until commission schedules are entered. Once that is done, the system will figure commissions at the time of job costing each order and keep a record of all commissions due each salesperson.
To enter those schedules, go to Order Entry>Utilities>Commissions>Commission Schedules.
The commissions feature in accounting allows printing reports of commissions generated at the time of job costing for use in paying salespersons. The Print and Post feature marks the commission records as "Paid" for historical reference.
This screen displays sales commission records generated from job costed customer orders. Records can be looked up by invoice number and will give you all information pertinent to the commission, including whether or not that commission has been paid to the salesman. You may want to make this menu selection password protected as you have the ability here to edit the commission percentage or actual dollar amount that would alter the amount the salesperson is paid.
