How to pay commissions that haven't been entered against a sale in S&A

Usually we would recommend you set up and apply commissions against each individual stock/vehicle sale in Stock and Accounting, and then import those commissions into the payrun. However there may be times you wish to pay commissions that haven't been entered against sales of stock, and instead are applied directly in the payrun.

Setting up the commission allowance

1. In the Options tab, click Allowance.
   
   
   
2. Click New.
   
   
   
3. Enter an Allowance Name and Description.
4. Select the Allowance Type.
5. Enter an Allowance Amount (If the amount varies, enter amount of $1 and a multiplier will be used in the payrun).
6. Select the appropriate Expense Account.
7. Choose Options that apply to this allowance.
8. Click Save & Close.
   
   
   
9. In the Main tab, click Employee.
   
   
   
10. Right Click on the employee and click Edit Employee.
    
    
    
11. Navigate to the Allowance tab and click the + icon.
    
    
    
12. Select the Commission Allowance and click OK.
    
    
    
13. Click Save and Close.
    
    

Applying the commission in the payrun

1. When Editing the pay, select the Allowance.
2. Enter the Unit amount (if you selected $1 as the allowance amount, change the unit amount to the dollar figure result you need, eg 500 units of $1 for a $500 commission payment).
