To select items valid for commission calculation
When determining whether a sales commission should be calculated, the system looks at the item, the date of sale, the store, and the customer (if a customer is assigned in the transaction).
The sales commission can be based on either the item sold, the amount of the transaction that can also be dependent oniItems, or on the discount offer that has been triggered.
You can exclude items, periodic discounts, and salespersons from the commission calculations. Items can be excluded by Division, Item Category, Product Group, Special Group, or by specifying a particular Item.
Note: In order to calculate a sales commission for POS staff, the staff must be defined beforehand as a Sales Person or Both in the Staff Card's Employment Type field, and a Sales Person code must be assigned.
More than one commission rule can apply to a sale, in which case the commission rule with the lowest priority is selected.
