How to Process Commissions page 2
To process your Commission records you'll do the following.
-
Open the Supplier or Master Agents commission report for the Commission Run Month.
BEST PRACTICE: Save it as a CSV file with the name: "Master Agent name OR Supplier Name" - Commission Run - Month - Year.
Example: If TelCloud was Master Agent (we are not) and AT&T was the Supplier and the Commissions were received in January 2021 for payment to subagents in February 2021. The CSV file could be named:
TelCloud_Commission_Run_January_2021.csv
Add the following required field names in columns as noted. For consistency we recommend the columns to use. However, they can be in any column on the CSV file to be imported.
REQUIRED FIELDS TO PROCESS, COMPUTE, APPLY, SPLIT AND REPORT ON COMMISSIONS
-
Column A - "Commission Run Month". Format as a text field.
-
Note: This is a date within the day, week, month or year that is to be used for the commission reporting. Generally, this is a date within the month during which you received a commission payment from a Supplier and for which you will report commissions received and those allocated to subagents to pay. Payment to subagents is typically the month following the commission run month..
-
For example to process the commissions you received in January 2021 and are paying out to your subagents in February 2021 you would use any date from 1/1/2021 to 1/31/2021. The exact date does not matter so long as it is in the month of the Commission Run.
