Adjusting Sales Commission for Special Sales

You can change the amount of sales commission paid to the primary salesperson when there is a difference between the expected vendor credit and actual credit received for a national-account, government-support, or adjustment sale.

To adjust sales commission for a special sale

1. On the Vendors menu, select Nat’l Recon Codes & Credits. The Nat’l/Recon Codes/Credits screen appears.

2. Click Commission. The National Sales Commission List appears.

Note: If you cannot see the Commission button, you need to set Adjust National Commission to Yes. This setting is on the Commission tab of the System Controls screen.

3. Select one of the following options:

To view invoices whose vendor credits were reconciled during the past two weeks, select 2 -Weeks.
To view invoices whose vendor credits were reconciled during the past month, select 1 - Month.
To view invoices whose vendor credits were reconciled during the past six months, select 6 - Months.

Note: The sales commission for an invoice cannot be adjusted if more than six months have passed since the vendor credit was reconciled.

4. Select the invoice whose sales commission you want to adjust, and click Adjust Commission. The Sales Commission Adjustments screen appears and displays a suggested adjustment amount in the Sales Commission Adjustment field.

5. In the Sales Commission Adjustment field, do one of the following:

To change the sales commission by the suggested amount, leave the value as is.
To reduce the sales commission, type a negative adjustment amount.
To increase the sales commission, type a positive adjustment amount.

6. Type a note about the adjustment in the Sales Commission Comment field. This note prints on the Commission Report.
