Exploris Wish #6036 - Salesmen Commissions with option for MARGIN

Looking at a screen and it mentioned Salesmen Commissions --so we asked. The helpful person had never been asked that and did some testing and checking --OK -- here is what we know.

You can set up salesmen commissions - but it is very basic and very much in some additional options. You can set a commission % under staff setting and you can have different percentages for various lines ( any idea if we have a report for this ...smile ... where is our universal report writer we really need )

BUT --and there is always a BUT ...paying commissions on SALES is only one option --- we have been a believer in paying on GROSS MARGIN. That way you don't have to endure any GAMES that some salesmen might play.

If you have full time staff and pay 10% of sales ( and you have a 33% GM ) then you can pay 30% of GM and you are at the same level.  Try it --get a calculator.

For us - we have part time salesmen - and they get an additional bonus to wages -- so the bonus on sales can be re-calculated to the same % on gross margin --and if any salesmen want to do nothing but sell low margin oil filters - go ahead -- it becomes a WIN-WIN ( or a lose-lose ) situation ... the more margin they get - the more bonus they get.

So - in addition to the option for commission by sales -- PLEASE add an OPTION for Commission by Gross Margin.
