Working with Volume Commissions

Volume commissions let you structure payout tiers for individual line item codes or rate cards. You can set these options on the Line Item Code or Rate Card detail screen, using the Volume Commission Setup (VCS) dialog. 

To work with volume commissions, click Edit, then click the VCS button ().

The VCS dialog provides guidelines and sample formats to help you build a commission structure:

The screenshot above shows commission tiers based on the number of items sold at one time (i.e. up to 25 items pays out at 5% commission based on margin; more than 26 pays out 10%, etc). Commission payout types include Fixed Amount, % of Price, % of Est Margin, % of Actual Margin, and Not Applicable.
