Commission Costs Overview and Topics

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.
