Commission Codes Questions

Posted on by Microsoft Employee
We are looking at buying GP. Here are a few questions I received from HR.


1. I know you can split a commission in Receivables Transaction Entry, but is it possible to set up a customer and have the commissions to that customer split automatically between two salesman. We want Company XYZ to be split 70-30 between two of our sales reps.




2. Can you assign a commission code based on the shipping address? We have a few buying agents who have multiple end customers. The commission needs to be based on the end customer, not the buying agent.



3. Can you assign different commission rates to the salesperson based on the customer? Or can you only assign one commission rate? Salesperson Joe gets 20% for Company XYZ and 15% for Company ABC.



4. Can you put a time limit on commissions. Salesperson Joe gets 20% for Company XYZ for 12 months, then he gets 15% after that.

     I agree with Victoria.  We have some pretty complex commission structures, and GP definitely doesn't handle them.  I have looked at the Commission Plan from Ethotech, but never called them to ask about pricing.  We have most of our commission structures handle through reports that I have written.  SQL Reporting Services is free to anyone who owns SQL Server (which you will if you buy GP).  You might try taking a look at that as well.

    Sorry if this is double posted, I submitted an answer and it seems to have disappeared. 

    Some of these are pretty sophisticated commissions requirements and GP will not handle them out-of-the-box.  Talk to the GP Partner(s) you are discussing your GP purchase with to make sure they know this is a requirement and can research/recommend an add-on for this.  The first one I would look at would be EthoTech's Commissions Plan: http://www.ethotech.com/?cid=5&pid=142&ct=Products&pt=Commission+Plan.
