Setting Up Fixed Commission

Fixed commission is calculated directly on each qualifying invoice without using tiers or interpolation between values — you define the commission rate for each line item range as either a percentage or a fixed amount.

Steps to Set Up Fixed Commission

1. From the “Add Commission Rule” screen, in the “Rule Information” section, select the rule type “Fixed Commission.”
2. The “Applies to the Following Items” table appears. Fill in each line with:
   • Item Type: Choose from the available options:
     • “Item” to select specific products.
     • “Category” to select entire categories.
     • “All Products” to assign all products to the commission rule.
   • Elements: Select the required products or categories. This field is disabled when “All Products” is selected.
   • Commission: Enter the commission value and select its type from the adjacent dropdown: “Percentage %” or “Fixed Amount.”
3. To add another range with a different commission rate, click “Add.” To delete any line, click the trash icon.
4. Complete the remaining sections of the rule then click “Save.”

How the System Works

• Each line is applied independently — the system calculates the commission for each line then sums the results.
• Percentage: Commission = qualifying items value × percentage. Example: commission is 20% and the employee has qualifying items totaling 5,000 → commission = 5,000 × 20% = 1,000.
• Fixed Amount: The value is applied per qualifying item. Example: commission is 50 per qualifying “Laptop” item, and the employee has two invoices — one containing a “Laptop” and a “Mouse” and another containing a “Keyboard.” The only qualifying item is the “Laptop” → commission = 1 × 50 = 50.
• When specific items are selected, commission is calculated on the qualifying items from the invoice only. Example: commission is 15% on “Laptop,” and the invoice contains a “Laptop” (1,000) and a “Mouse” (50) → commission = 1,000 × 15% = 150.
• The target defined in the “Target Information” section is used for tracking and reporting purposes only and does not affect fixed commission calculation.
• Fixed commission appears in sales commission records at its actual value at the individual invoice level.

Validation Rules

• At least one item line is required, otherwise the message appears: “At least one item line is required.”
• The commission percentage must be between 0.01 and 100, otherwise the message appears: “Commission percentage must be between 0.01 and 100.”
• The fixed amount must be greater than zero, otherwise the message appears: “Commission value must be greater than zero.”
• The same line cannot be added twice, otherwise the message appears: “The same target cannot be added twice.”
