Creating a Partner Commission Plan
Commission plans are made up of individual commission schedules. When you assign a commission plan to a partner, NetSuite applies all commission schedules to determine the commission earned.
To create a commission plan:
-
Go to Lists > Commissions > Partner Plans > New.
-
In the Name field, enter a name for this plan.
-
Enter a description of this plan.
-
On the Add Schedules to Plan subtab, in the Schedule column, select a schedule to include in this plan.
-
Click Add.
-
Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each commission schedule you want to include in this plan.
-
Click the Assign Plan to Partners subtab.
-
In the Partner column, select a partner to assign to this plan.
-
In the From column, enter or pick the date this plan takes effect for this partner.
-
In the To column, enter or pick the last date you want this plan to generate commission for this partner.
Warning:The end date for a commission plan should not be further than eighteen months from the start date of the plan.
-
Click Add.
-
Repeat steps 8 - 11 for each partner you want to assign to this plan.
Warning:You should not add more than fifty partners to a single commission plan.
-
Click Save.
You can change the plan and the commission schedules that are included on the plan at any time. When you make changes to a commission plan, NetSuite recalculates commission according to the updated plan. For more information on updating commission plans, see Recalculating Commission
