Sales Person ID

Hi All,

Just a quick question; does GP 2010 (SP2) use the Sales Person ID specified on the Customer for Site ID's that do NOT have a specified Sales Person ID on Sales Order Line Items?

Thanks :)

Absolutely...

Customer 0001 has the Sales Person ID set to MYSALESGUY

Site ID 0100 has the Sales Person ID set to JOHNDOE

Site ID 0200 has no Sales Person ID set

Sales Order O000001111 to Customer 0001

Item 555 ships to Site ID 0100

Item ABC ships to Site ID 0200

Does GP allocate the sale of Item ABC to MYSALESGUY or does it not allocate to any Sales Person ID because none is set in the Site ID 0200 where Item ABC is to ship to?

Hope this helps

If there's no Salesperson on the line item, no commission will be calculated for that line. The Salesperson defaults to the line based on the Salesperson setting from the Bill To address ID, which in turn defaults from the Customer card.

You're 'Site ID' is the Ship To Address ID, correct?

Yes, Site ID is used as the Ship To Address.

So GP does NOT allocate the sale to a salesperson mentioned in the Customer ID, only to the salesperson on the selected Site ID used as the Ship To address, correct?

Incorrect - the Salesperson on Sales Order Lines comes from the Bill To Address ID. If you set a Salesperson in the Customer Card, it defaults into the Bill To Address ID, and hence into the Sales Order Lines. What's the basis for your question?

Customer 0001

-has the Ship To set to 0200

-has the Bill To set to 0300

-has the Salesperson ID set to MYSALESGUY

Addresses for Customer 0001

Site ID 0100 has the Salesperson ID set to JOHNDOE

Site ID 0200 has no Salesperson ID set

Site ID 0300 has the Salesperson ID set to JANEDOE

Sales Order O000001111 to Customer 0001

Line 1: Item 555 with a Ship To Address ID of 0100

Line 2: Item ABC with a Ship To Address ID of 0200

Line 3: Item XYZ with a Ship To Address ID of 0300

"What's the basis of your question?" - well given the above, what Salesperson receives the sales associated to Line 2 of Sales Order O000001111 ? Line 1? Line 3?

They all go to MYSALESGUY unless someone manually changes each line in the order. What I was asking re: basis for your question is 'what issue are you trying to resolve?'

I understand "defaults", but in the real world, sometimes there is a need to change the "default" Ship To Address to another, hence the question.

So based on your comments (yes, the "default" Ship To was changed), then following is true:

-Sale of Item 555 goes to Salesperson JOHNDOE

-Sale of Item ABC goes to Salesperson MYSALESGUY

-Sale of Item XYZ goes to Salesperson JANEDOE

With respects to the "issue"; No issue, just a clear understanding of the mechanics of GP.
