Step 1: Prepare Sales Data

To illustrate commission tracking, we created the following four separate sales:

• Sale 1: Standard sale of $1,000 with one salesperson.

• Sale 2: Sale involving two salespeople with an 80/20 commission split.

• Sale 3: Special order sale (non-commissionable).

• Sale 4: Special order for future pickup and payment.

For details on creating sales, please refer to this article: Submitting a New Sale through the POS

Review Sale Entries

For this example, we’ll be using 5 reports coming from Chester and TestingJake, you’ll find sales entries similar to the following:

• Entry 1: Regular sale ($1,000) with a 3% commission ($30).
  
  
  
  

• Entries 2 & 3: Sales with two salespeople.

  • Employee 1: $800 (80% share).

  • Employee 2: $200 (20% share). 

• Entry 4: Special order sale (non-commissionable, $0).
  
  
  
   
  
  

• Entry 5: Pending special order (also non-commissionable).
  
  
  
   

Step 4: Review Employee Wages Overview Report

Analyze Results

In this report:

• The Sales Total for commissionable transactions is $3,000.

• Commission Share Total indicates $2,000 (showing one non-commissionable special order).
