To take full advantage of commission calculations, set the system so that commissions due to be paid will automatically be reported.

Select one of the following Commission Pay Types, according to how commissions are paid.

Written Sales

To have salespeople receive commission pay when an order is placed and entered into RFMS Order Entry, select this option.

If Written Sales is selected, commission records will NOT be created for the order.  Because commissions are posted to the Salesman File at the time of job costing, if electing to pay commissions on Written Sales, including those that have not yet been delivered or job costed, hand calculation of commissions due is required.  The system has no way of knowing what the profit of any job is until it has been run through the job costing routine and so has no basis for calculating commission until that is done.  The Sales Report by salesman will provide the numbers needed to calculate commissions. 

Delivered Sales

To have salespeople receive commission pay when an order is placed, entered into order entry and marked as delivered, select this option.

Delivered & Paid

To have salespeople receive commission pay when an order is placed, delivered and paid, select this option.

If electing to pay commissions on Delivered and Paid, the invoice must have a zero balance.  Commission will not be paid on invoices with credit balances.

Delivered and Paid Less Retainage

If using this option, the commission will be split between the order and retainage amounts and is paid separately.

If using Delivered and Paid Less Retainage, Pay Commission on Partial Billing Groups must be set to Yes.
