Comm Code Type (commission code type)

Enter the factor that the system uses as a multiplier of product cost.

Fixed Cost Amount

Enter the monetary amount of processing overhead per order.

Min. Gross Margin ($) (minimum gross margin (USD))

Commission (%) (commission (percent))

Enter the percentage of an order sales amount that is payable to the salesperson.

Flat Commission Amount

Enter a value to specify a commission amount. Enter a flat commission amount instead of a commission percentage. You must enter the per-unit amount to calculate commission amounts against the invoice, gross margin, or cost.
