Sales Commission Report
Return to Sales Model Overview.
This report shows financial data and amounts for sales processes that are stored in the Sales Planning
cube. It focuses on planning for several planning versions, such as Budget
and Forecast
. To calculate sales commissions based on gross earnings, type in a sales commission percent value and click on to start the calculation. You can also enter sales commission values directly, without the planning helper functions. See screenshot below:
Amounts can be shown in local currency or converted into one of the target currencies. Data entry requires the selection of a single legal entity and the local currency.
