Hello,

To apply a commission for vendors in Business Central, create a service item for the commission, then add this item as a line on your purchase order or invoice with the appropriate quantity and unit price. Finally, post the document to include the commission in your financial records. This ensures the commission is properly accounted for in your transactions.

Business Central doesn't support vendor commissions out of the box, as commissions are typically applied to customers/sales. To handle vendor commissions, you’ll need to create a customization or workaround—like adding a line on the purchase invoice with a G/L account (e.g., "Vendor Commission Expense") and entering the calculated amount manually. For automation or tracking by vendor, a custom table and logic may be required.

Can you provide more details what you're looking to achieve? Typically commissions are on the sales side.

Hello Valentin Castravet,

I am looking to take a commission from my vendor, while I am going to pay them as I am doing business like an escrow company. So I need my revenue based on commission from the vendor.

Hope this make sense.

If this is the case then common workaround is to deduct the commission directly on the purchase invoice by adding a negative line using a revenue G/L account (e.g., "Commission Income").

In other words, the vendor needs to refund you?

If so, you can try the following.

Thanks.
