Sales Commission costs are applied to a Job when using one of four methods:
- Posting Commissions within a Job record on the Job Commissions form
- Posting Payroll Timesheets
- Manual Payroll Journal Entry
- Write a Check to a Salesperson
Your company would use only one of the methods above.
The Commission expenses posted to a Job are either entered manually or automatically generated based on Employee Commission setups/Job Type Commission setups.
Commissions expenses posted using Payroll Timesheets are manually entered into a timesheet batch and linked to the appropriate Job(s). The Job Expense Type selected on these entries, "C", is what controls the expense amount to display in the WIP and/or Actual Costs section of the Job Costing form.
