Title: Need help with Commision settings.
Post by: Courtright on March 18, 2013, 02:07:52 PM

So I am selling retail items in which some items have commission and some do not.  I know how to create a commission percentage when creating a new product.  However a few questions I have are:

• Commission can only be tracked by sales made by Staff, correct?  So any cashier sales are not linked to commission, correct?  So if all of my employees are able to get commission, I need to make them all Staff and have no cashiers, correct?
• Is the only way to find out weekly commission (so I can add it to their check) to go to Reports>Staff>Product and search for the employee 1 by 1?  Is there a commission report that would list all employees names with the amount of commissioned they have earned in one report?
• Since I currently have the employees all set up as Staff (only way I know how to track commission) I went into Manager>Settings>General and check marked the box for "Must Select a Staff".  This way they will be logged in correctly to get their commission.  However it is asking us to log in every sale (actually seems like twice a sale) and throughout the day we do hundreds of transactions, it would be very annoying to log in for each sale.  Is there a setting to make sure an employee logs in for just commissionable item sales? I noticed if no one is logged in and it is just on General Cashier and a purchase is made the commissionable sale goes to no one.  How do you suggest I set this up so when a sale is made of a commissionable item that the correct employee is logged in (without them having to log in each and every sale).  Out of 300 sales, 5 may only be commissionable items.

I hope that was clear enough.  I am sure you can get a general idea of what I am looking to do.  I just am unsure if it should be done another way.  I didn't find any information in the HELP doc about commission.  Thank you for your help!   ;)

Correct.  Only staff are used for commission tracking and they must be selected for each sale.  The report to use list the commission for a single employee.
