Split Commissions what's up with that.

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Bill Campbell 12

We know it can be done, we think we know where it is done, but it is not working the way we expected.

Situation

Sale for 5,415.00 (before tax)

Two sales people are on the sale and each gets a 5% commission on the Sales Amount

So, this should be a commission of $270.75 each

When we go to the Commission window and enter the first sales person W we complete the screen with 5% commission, 50% of the Sale and then enter the sales amount - this generates the correct amount of commission - $ 270.75

When we try to enter the second sales person A we try to enter the same values - good to the point of entering the Sales Amount - we enter (as above) the 5415.00 and the system tells us that we can not enter a value greater than the total sales amount.  So we enter the 1/2 that - still same message.

We have deleted the Commission screen and recreated a number of times, but end up in the same place.  The order we enter W or A does not matter.

Any suggestions?

    Harry, Good day.

    I am having the same difficulty splitting the commission between more that one salespersons.

    Calculations happens on the first line ONLY, the second line allows the %s to be entered but it does not calculate anything.

    Did you have to change something else for this to happen for you on the Sales Commission Screen ?

    I have the same issue. no commission on the 2nd rep. the 1st rep does get the correct amount but nothing on the 2nd rep!

    it does not calculate commission on the 2nd sales rep.

    Hi everyone, sorry for the late chime in.

    Unfortunately, commissions are calculated at the line item level and rolled up to the header in Microsoft Dynamics GP. If you look at the Item Detail Entry window, it already has ONE sales person assigned to it. So in your case, if you want to split commissions 50/50, you will need to split the line items in two for the same product, assigning one sales person to one line item, and the other sales person to the second line item. This is not an issue if ordering an even amount of product, but I am sure you can see the problem when there's an odd number of products. In this case, one sales person will end up with a few dollars more than the other sales person, and then there's the issue of the person receiving the actual SOP document seeing two line items with the same product - although, this is a minor thing since you could consolidate the items in Report Writer.

    I agree, EthoTech is a far better solution for commissions.

    Hi GGP,

    This is possible only on Sales Invoice and its not allow you to change in Sales order.

    I am having the same situation with Babu, that the second line just gets $0.00 in commissions no matter what. Anybody was able to find a solution to this? 

    Babu?

    Hi All,

    Hi Bill,

    Yes I am doing this on test company.

    1) I have gone directly to commission entry window and changed the 100% to 50% on first line and immediately the commission% changed.  I went to 2nd line and added new sales person and put 50% and commission 10% but commission amount is still zero.

    2) I have checked before and after doing the above the distribution and the commission line amount changed to 50% after the changes happened.

    Does anyone seen this, I am on GP 2013 R2.
