Paying commissions to employees

The payment of reserved commissions to employees is performed by your company's payroll department. You must generate a report that includes the commissions that you must pay to an employee.

Note

Commissions for an employee relation are always reserved in LN. This topic only handles the payment of commissions to employees if the Link with Finance check box is selected on the Commission Calculation Details tab of the Commissions/Rebates Parameters (tdcms0100s000) session. If this check box is cleared, the payment of commissions to employees is executed outside LN after the commissions are set to Closed in the Close Commissions Reserved for Employees (tdcms2102m000) session.

Complete the following steps in the payment of commissions to employees procedure:

Step 1. Before you can start the payment procedure

Before you can start this reservation procedure, you must first complete steps 1 through 6 from the Calculating commissions and rebates topic. In step 2, the Invoice Direct/Reserve field in the Commission Agreement (tdcms0635m000) and Rebate Agreement (tdcms0635m100) sessions is automatically set to Reserve for the Employee Relation Type.

Step 2.  Reservation and Approval of Reserved Commissions/Rebates (tdcms2202m000)

Before you can generate payment lines for commissions to employees, the status of the commission must be Closed. A commission receives this status in the Reservation and Approval of Reserved Commissions/Rebates (tdcms2202m000) session.

Step 3. Generate Payment Lines for Commissions to Employees (tdcms4201m000)

If the Generating Payments field is set to Manually in the Commissions/Rebates Parameters (tdcms0100s000) session, you must generate payment lines in the Generate Payment Lines for Commissions to Employees (tdcms4201m000) session.

If the Generating Payments field is set to Interactively or Automatically, payment lines for commissions to employees are generated in the Reservation and Approval of Reserved Commissions/Rebates (tdcms2202m000) session.

Step 4. Commissions Paid to Employees by Relation (tdcms1151m000)/ Commissions Paid to Employees by Order (tdcms0151m000)

Use the Commissions Paid to Employees by Relation (tdcms1151m000) session or the Commissions Paid to Employees by Order (tdcms0151m000) session to view the generated payment lines.

Step 5. Print Commissions Paid to Employees (tdcms4451m000)

Use the Print Commissions Paid to Employees (tdcms4451m000) session to print a list of the commissions that are not yet (fully) paid and send the report to the payroll department that can settle the payments.

Step 6. Commissions Paid to Employees by Relation (tdcms1151m000)/ Commissions Paid to Employees by Order (tdcms0151m000)

Use the Commissions Paid to Employees by Relation (tdcms1151m000) session or the Commissions Paid to Employees by Order (tdcms0151m000) session to enter the paid amounts that the payroll department returned to you.

Step 7. Global Update Commissions Paid to Employees (tdcms4250m000)

Use the Global Update Commissions Paid to Employees (tdcms4250m000) session to set the calculated commissions collectively as fully paid.

You can start this session from the appropriate menu of the Commissions Paid to Employees by Relation (tdcms1151m000)/ Commissions Paid to Employees by Order (tdcms0151m000) sessions.

You can also set a specific payment line as fully paid by selecting a payment line and by clicking Update Paid Commissions on the appropriate menu of the Commissions Paid to Employees by Relation (tdcms1151m000)/ Commissions Paid to Employees by Order (tdcms0151m000) sessions.
