| # Commission Agreement Parameters (tdcms0135s000) Use this session to maintain parameters for commission agreements. Related topics Overview of commissions and rebates Cumulative Agreement [y/n] If this check box is selected, this is an agreement to calculate commissions based on cumulative sales. LN records all sales for which this agreement is applicable in a separate file. At the end of the current period, you can calculate the commission based on the total sales in this period with the Calculate Commissions/Rebates on Cumulative Sales (tdcms1200m000) session. Invoice Direct/Reserve Comm. This field controls how LN settles the calculated commission. The following restrictions apply to this function: If an Employee relation type is specified in the agreement, this field is always Reserve. If the Link with Finance check box is selected in the Commissions/Rebates Parameters (tdcms0100s000) session and no Employee relation type is specified in the agreement, this field is Invoice. Note Payments to employees are not invoiced directly, because of legal requirements concerning taxation. When no relation is entered in the agreement, LN checks the relation type when commissions are posted to Financials. If the relation is Employee, the calculated commission is always accumulated, even if this field is Invoice. Allowed values Invoice directly/reserve Grade by Quantity/Amount This field determines the basis for the grades. Currency A generally accepted medium of exchange (such as: coins, treasury notes, and banknotes). LN distinguishes two currency types: Home currency, used internally by companies for example, to calculate costs, to record budgets, and to register tax amounts Transaction currency, used in transactions with business partners, such as orders and invoices Note If the Currency for Invoicing is set to Agreement in the Relations (tdcms0110s000) session, you can use this field to specify the invoice currency for a relation. However, if the agreement applies to an agreement group, you cannot define an invoice currency. In this case, the reference currency is used. Grade Unit The unit that is used to determine the grade. A grade unit only applies to agreements defined for items. Note You must first fill in the Item field in the Commission Agreements (tdcms0130m000) session. Then choose Quantity in the Grade by Quantity/Amount field, so you can fill in the grade unit. Grade Calculation This field determines the basis for the grade calculation. Example If an item is ordered:
Quantity | Unit Price | Commission
100 | 20 | 1 %
    Result:

    Gross
    The commission is 100 * 20 * 1% = 20
    Net
    The commission is 100 * 20 * 1% = 20
    The remainder amount is 2000 - 20 = 1980
    The final commission amount is 1% *	1980 = 19.80

Allowed values Fixed Amount on grade or Unit Commission Over The basis on which commissions are calculated. Grade: The commission is based on the amount or quantity in this grade. Total: The commission is based on the total amount of an order, or order line. Example An order is placed for $25,000, using the following scale:
Up to | %
--- | ---
$10,000 | 0
$20,000 | 1
$30,000 | 2
$999,999 | 3
If the percentage is based on Grade, the following applies: $10,000 * 0% = $0 $10,000 * 1% = $100 $5,000 * 2% = $100 Total = $200 If the percentage is based on Total, the commission is calculated as follows: $25,000 * 2% = $500 Grow Commission Over The basis on which the growing commissions are calculated. Example A sales order is placed for $50,000. The normal commission is based on Total. The growing commission is based on Grade. The following scale is used:
Up to | Normal % | Growing %
--- | --- | ---
$10,000 | 0 | 0
$20,000 | 1 | 0
$30,000 | 2 | 1
$999,999 | 3 | 3
Commission | Calculation
--- | ---
Normal | $50,000 * 3% = $1,500
Growing | $10,000 * 0% = $0 $10,000 * 0% = $0 $10,000 * 1% = $100 $20,000 * 3% = $600 Total = $700
Total | = $1,500 + $700 = $2,200
