Approving Commission Transaction for Payment

To approve a commission transaction for payment:

1. Go to Transactions > Commissions > Approve Employee Commissions (Administrator).

   The Approve Commissions page displays a list of authorized commission transactions awaiting approval.

2. In the Pay Commissions Using field, select either Payroll or Accounts Payable.

   The Approve Commissions page lists commission transactions by sales representative, based on whether the employee is paid through payroll or accounts payable.

   Note:

   To pay commissions on paychecks, you must use SuitePeople U.S. Payroll. See Payroll Setup.

3. In the Date field, you can change the specific posting date within the Posting Period.

4. Select a Posting Period from the available open periods.

   Note:

   If you select a Date before you select a Posting Period, the correct posting period automatically appears in this field.

   If an accounting period was closed since the authorization of a commission, the first open period defaults as the posting period. To select another open period, you must go to the commission transaction, then select another open posting period.

   Important:

   If there is no defined posting period, users with Manage Accounting Periods - View permission see a suggested accounting period. The suggested accounting period appears in the Posting Period field on the transaction.

5. In the Approve column, check the boxes next to the commission transactions to approve, or click Mark All.

   The information provided includes the date, commission, sales rep, supervisor, currency, and amount.

6. Click Approve.
