Split Commission
If you use both the Employee Commissions and the Team Selling features, you can divide the commission earned on a transaction. You can split the commission between all of the employees in the sales team.
A sales team member's contribution percentage determines how much of the calculated commission for a transaction is earned by an employee. For example, according to a sales rep's commission plan they earn 10% of a transaction total. The total for the transaction is $10,000. The rep splits the commission evenly with another sales rep on the deal. Their contribution percentage is 50%. Each sales rep earns $500 on the deal ($10,000*10%*50%).
The commission generated by a transaction is independently determined by each employee's commission plan’s commission schedules. After the commission amount is determined, NetSuite applies the contribution percentage to determine the portion of the commission earned by the employee. In the example above, the commission generated for the sales rep is 10% of $10,000. Their contribution percentage entitled them to 50% of what they would have earned had they been the only rep on the transaction. The other sales rep's commission plan indicates that they would earn 15% of the transaction total. Because their contribution percentage is 50%, they earn $750 on the same deal ($10,000*15%*50%).
With the Team Selling feature, any employee can be paid commission. To make an employee eligible for commission payments, check the Eligible for Commission box on the employee record.
For the purposes of commission, only subordinates with the Sales Rep sales role contribute to a manager's commission. For example, two sales reps report to a manager. One of the sales reps has the Sales Rep role and the other has the Sales Engineer role. The manager earns 10% commission on sales through a manager schedule. If the sales team enters a sales order for $1,000, the manager earns $100. The manager does not earn commission on the sale through the sales engineer.
