Salesperson Commission

Companies that pay salespeople a percentage of sales need a simple sheet to compute their pay. This module adds a Commission record where the user enters the period, salesperson, sales total, rate and basic salary. HR and sales managers use it, and it depends on the Sales, Purchase and Inventory apps. It computes the commission amount and the net amount due. The benefit is a consistent, quick payout calculation per salesperson.
