Part of setting up commissions is setting up the sales person. In sales person set up you will control the percent of commission the sales person will get from a line item for both regular and drop ship orders. To do this you need to go to the Order Menu under sales person entry Query.
ORD > Salesperson and Commissions > Salesperson entry/query
To start entering a salesperson you should place your cursor on an open Salesperson Number box or press the insert record icon 
to create an open field.
- Salespersons Number – The sales person number can be an alpha or numeric code that will represent the salesperson on all AR entry fields.
- First & Last Name – This will be the real first or last name of the sales person and it will populate into the description box whenever you use the salesperson code.
Pressing tab or enter after typing the last name will take you to the commission tab. The "active" check box will default to the checked position. Un-checking this box will cause the salespersons code not to be available when you use the F9 button for a list of variables for salespersons fields...
- Accrual Account – Here you will place the default commission accrual account, this account is usually a cost of goods sold expense account for commissions
- Expense account – This is the expense account for commissions and quite often is the same as the accrual account.
Note: The Accrual and Expense accounts will default in from the order entry setup screen; if they are not set up there they should be setup at this time. They can be changed if needed.
- Commission percent – This is where you would add the commission percent for regular orders for that salesperson.
- D/S Commission percent – You have the option of setting a separate commission rate for drop ship orders.
Note: 10.0000 would represent a ten percent commission.
After adding your commissions and entering you will be taken to the contacts tab. Here you will enter:
- Phone – the salespersons phone number
- Fax - the salespersons fax
- Email address – The salespersons email address.
The next tab you will run into is the buyer XREF; it is here that you can assign a default buyer to a salesperson. On a drop ship or gen PO order there is a PO details tab. On that tab a buyer is declared. If you would like a buyer to default in to that field for a salesperson this is where you would set that up. A buyer is required in the PO screen, and it can be changed if needed.
- Buyer – Buyers must be setup in purchasing special functions ahead of time, in the buyer field you can type in the buyer code or press the f9 for a list of options.
After the buyer X-ref you will be directed to the POS tab this is where you can set up a salesperson's POS permissions.
- Password – Some will elect to have their POS systems password protected, this allows for tighter user tracking when multiple people are using the same register. Individual passwords for POS are set up and stored here.
- Max Discount – You have the ability to set individual max discounts for each POS user. In this field enter the discount that you would like to give the salesperson.
- Cash Out – Give this user the permission to handle register cash outs
- Close register – Here you can give the user permissions required to close the register.
- Accept Returns - Checking this box gives permissions to accept returns
The last two tabs that you will need to fill out for the salesperson are the comments and the Invoice comments tabs.
- Comments – Here you can enter comments about the sales person.
- Invoice Comments- If the salesperson would like personalized comments to print on Invoices they can add them here.
