Ship.No The record id which generated this commission record. A commission record can be created from a sales order shipment, rma receipt, accounts receivable invoice or COMM.E.
Record Type This field contains the type of procedure that was used to create the commission record. A commission record can be generated from a sales order shipment, RMA receipt or a/r invoice. Records can also be generated directly in COMM.E. The only time this field can be updated is in the creation of new records.
Please note that when entering new records, you may associated the commission to a shipment, rma receipt or invoice. However, if you are creating a misc. record that is not related to a shipment, receipt or invoice, select a record type of "commiission".
Ship Li The line item number on the shipment record which generated this commission record. Note that each line of the shipment record may contain different reps and/or commission amounts.
Invoice.No The number of the invoice as it appears in the AR file.
Invoice Amt Paid This field contains the percentage of the invoice that has been paid through the current date. This percentage is used to calculate the eligible commission amount.
Trans Date This represents the date on which this transaction was originally created.
Gross.Sales The total gross sales for the line item of the shipment. This is used to calculate gross profit figures, in conjunction with the cost of goods.
Cost.Goods The cost of the goods which were shipped.
Commission Amount Entry in this field is only required if you do not want the system to calculate the commission for you based on the sales/profit amount. This field is typically used when creating commission records from COMM.E and you want to pay a rep commission but are not associating it to a particular invoice/shipper. When commission records are created for you from the shipping or RMA procedures, no data will appear in this field. Instead the commission will be based on the sales and/or profit amount.
Commission Amount This field displays the extended commission amount (1). If a flat commission amount is entered, it is loaded into this field. (2). If no flat commissiion amount is entered, the commission and order percents will be multiplied by either the gross sales or profit amount. In the ACCT.CONTROL procedure, you tell the system if the commission amount should be based on the sales amount or the profit. If the amount is based on the profit, the cost of goods amount will be subtracted from the gross sales before calculating the commission amount.
Eligible Amount Displays the portion of the total commision amount that is due and payable. The eligible amount is the commission amount multiplied by the percent of the invoice that has been paid.
Net Payable Contains the net commision amount payable after subtracting all payments.
Notes Enter any notes in this field that apply to this commission record.
Payment Amount This field displays all of the amounts that have been paid against the commision record. As payments are made they should be added to this list.
