Overview
In this article, you will learn about Sellercloud’s Sales Rep Commission report. This report calculates the commission earned by sales representatives based on their set commission rate and the profit of each order.
The report can also take into account a Sales Rep Cost, which is an optional additional percentage added to the cost of an item to account for external costs such as warehousing fees.
The commission is calculated by subtracting the total costs (including the Sales Rep Cost) from the total payments and then multiplying that number by the sales rep’s commission rate. The report also allows for multiple sales reps on one order, with the commission being divided among them.
You can generate the report based on:
- Date range: Date Range, Payment From Date, and Payment To Date.
- Sales information: Sales Rep, Transaction Type, and Order Number.
