In the (L3) Screen
The DDMS system comes equipped with the capability of calculating salesperson commissions for you. However, before the system can do this, you must set up one or more commission tables in the (L3) Commission Table Parameters screen. After creating the commission tables, you can print the Salesperson Commission Analysis Report through the (UR) Sales Reports screen.
A variety of commission structures can be accommodated. The system can view individual line items, totals within an invoice, or invoice subtotals. In addition, commissions can be calculated differently for different customer groups.
Using information from the appropriate commission table and information that you enter when you request the report, the system calculates commissions and prints them on the report. (These commission amounts are not stored in any system file, but can be entered in the payroll screen.)
You can set up different commission tables for various locations if you have more than one general ledger location (profit center). You can also set default (global) commission tables for each location.
When you have set the parameters for location 1, set up separate parameters for each additional location that you run differently than location 1. If you do not set up separate parameters for a particular location, the parameters set for location 1 are used for that location.
The global table in the (L3) screen applies to all salespeople who do not have a unique commission table assigned. Unique commission tables can be set up for each salesperson in each location whose commissions are calculated differently. The global table for location 1 also applies to all other salespeople with no unique table and no global table for their location.
