View and Assign Sales Credits to Revenue Lines and Split Credit

Sales credit recipients and revenue amounts roll up the resource hierarchy for pipeline reporting and quota attainment.

You assign sales credits to sales resources (salespeople or other sales users) while editing product lines in opportunities. When a product line is first added to an opportunity, the application sets the user who added it as the sole sales credit recipient. This means that the sole recipient receives 100 percent of the sales credit.

View Who Gets Credits for Revenue Lines

There are two types of sales credit: Revenue sales credit is allocated to salespeople working the deal, while overlay sales credit, also known as nonrevenue sales credit, is split and allocated to other resources helping out with the deal, such as a product or market specialist. You can find out who is getting credit for revenue lines by clicking the Sales Credit (the person icon) in a revenue line.

Here is a sample screenshot of the portion of the Opportunity: Products page when you hover over the Sales Credit icon to view split sales credits for both revenue and overlay credits:
