Methods for Calculating Commission Rates

PeopleSoft Order Management provides three methods for determining commission rates:

• Team member: A flat percent applied to every sales order for a particular team member.

  For example, a team member might receive a 10 percent commission rate on every sales order completed.

• Commission schedule: A varied range for sales date and sales amount applied to every sales order for a particular team member.

  The commission schedule method depends on the date and the minimum and maximum sales amount. You cannot use a date range only. For example, a team member might receive a 6 percent commission on sales orders completed in the first quarter of the year, and 8 percent on sales orders completed in the second quarter of the year, as the commission sales amount increases.

• Pro rata: Based on the ordered product, divided among team members.

  For example, set the commission rate for a product at 10 percent. Two team members are eligible to receive commissions for that product. To split the commission from that schedule evenly between the two team members, each team member receives a 5 percent commission for that schedule.

When you select a commission rate calculation method, some commission options are available and other options become unavailable. The table shows the options available for each of the three commission rate calculation methods:
