Detailed Tier Instructions

It is possible to define up to ten levels of sales commission percentages you will pay based upon the balance. For example let’s say we have the following information in the first three tiers:

Tier 1 10000 10.0
Tier 2 15000 11.0
Tier 3 20000 12.0

Putting this table into words, Tier 1 means, " Pay a commission of 10.0 percent on any amount that is less than or equal to $10,000." Tier 2 means, "Pay a commission of 11.0 percent on any amount that is in the range of $10,001 to $15,000." Tier 3 means, "Pay a commission of 12.0 percent on any amount between $15,001 and $20,000."

You enter the upper dollar limit of each tier range. The lower limit is automatically set by the preceding tier or is zero if you are describing tier 1. If you do not enter any tier information, no commission will be calculated. If you want a flat single commission, set the tier 1 dollar figure to an amount greater than any possible order and then enter the percentage rate. Any order of any amount less than the dollar amount you enter will pay the same (flat) commission rate.

To set the levels:

Select the Balance radio button.
Select the Limit (<=) column of Tier 1.
Enter the "up to" dollar amount for the first level.
Select the Rate (%) column and enter the commission percentage to pay for the sales amount in the left column.
Continue in the following tiers. Although 10 tiers are provided, it is not necessary to use all of them.
When complete, select the Save button below the list of commission names.

If you elect to pay commissions on Sales (Aged Collections), it is necessary to define a tier structure for each of the six aging columns (aged col 1) through (aged col 6) as well as the Balance tier.
