Manage pooling commissions

Commissions are the rewards an agent or trading company earns when handling and selling a product on behalf of a group of vendors. It is usually calculated as a percentage based on the revenue generated when the products are sold to customers. For more information, see Understand commissions calculation.

The system checks per existing commission group to see if a commission setup line exists for the specific combination of item, item category, vendor, or global lot attributes. If no matching record is found, the system selects a commission line defined for all vendors.
