2 New Ways to Set Up Commissions: Sage 100 ERP Tip

They often include exceptions to which items are commissionable, and even require manual translation. This can all be extremely time consuming and challenging.

Recent versions of Sage 100 ERP now have two great new features to make this process less arduous.

Maintain Split Commissions By Customer

This feature gives Sage 100 ERP users the ability to establish and maintain default split commissions between multiple salespeople, by customer. It’s simple:

  • Go into the Customer Maintenance screen and choose the “Split Commission” button next to the primary salesperson.
  • A window will pop up and allow you to lock in the correct percentages for all salespeople who qualify to receive commissions for this customer.
