Click the Items/Transactions subtab.

Disabling Employee Commissions
Before you can enable SuiteBilling, you need to disable the Employee Commissions feature.

To correctly set the time range of the report, set the From field to the employee start date and the To field to the current date. For additional instructions, see Exporting a Report.
To disable the Employee Commissions feature:
-
Go to Setup > Company > Enable Features.
-
Click the Employees subtab.
-
In the Commissions section, clear the Employee Commissions box.
-
Click Save.
