Sales Commissions
Commission rules, calculation and employee settlement.
Overview
Commission calculates what your sales team earns. A rules engine turns sales into accrued commission, an employee ledger tracks what is owed, and clearing/settlement moves it through the general ledger to payout — all auditable from rule to payment.
Key features
Rules engine
Flexible rules turn sales into accrued commission automatically.
Employee ledger
Track accrued, cleared and settled commission per employee.
Settlement
Clearing and settlement post through the general ledger.

3. Track the ledger
The employee ledger shows accrued, cleared and settled amounts per person.
4. Settle
Clearing and settlement post through the general ledger to move the balance to payout.
Roles & permissions
Commission permissions govern rules and settlement; the EmployeeLedgerService tracks each employee’s running balance, and settlement posts to Accounting so payouts are always traceable.
