X by Y Sales Commission Report (Special Format by Order Number) - COM 6
The X by Y Sales Commission Report by Order Number includes all of the same parameters, features, and formulas as the regular X by Y Sales Commission report. It also includes a third level of sorting - by order number, within the X and Y parameters.
This option enables you to print all line item details, or a summary by order within the X and Y parameters. You can use option 2 to apply commissions at the order level, instead of at the line item level. This is an extremely important option. If you apply commissions at order level instead of line level, consider the following:
- Commissions based on gross profit % use the gross profit % of the entire order, not each line. This can cause different commission percentages to be applied, as line item GP% may vary on a line by line basis, and may differ from the blended order-level GP%.
- Commission exceptions based upon item-level information (such as manufacturer or item) are ignored when you choose to calculate commissions at order level. This is because an order can consist of multiple products. Product information only exists at the line item level and line item calculations are not performed.
