Commissions by Items

Set commission rates on an item by item basis by using Price Books.

The Price Book below has two items on it. Each item has a commission percentage or flat rate commission assigned.

When adding an item to the order or proposal with the Price Book selected, the commission tab is filled out based on the commission defined in the Price Book.

The Totals tab will show the Commission totals for the order or proposal.

Users that do not have permission to view commissions won’t see the commission tab or the commission totals. Permission is set in the Setup module > Company > User Group > Administrative Clearances tab > Commissions.
