Include a sales commission in a sale
I pay an 8% commission on a specific service I offer, the commission is paid semi-annually so I wanted to accumulate a payable automatically. This works for me, You would have to change the amounts and names of items of course to suit your situation.
I have set up:
1. a “service item” TAKS at $850.00
2. an “other charge” as ‘pearson’ at 8%
3. a “COGS account” called COGS-pearson
4. a “service item” ‘pearson-fee’ and pointed to COGS-pearson at -8% with a sales price of zero
Then I created a group, and
1. First line I put the service TAKS
2. Second line the other charge (pearson)
3. Third line the service item (pearson-fee)
4. Type the description in the group description line.
Set the group to NOT print all lines so the customer does not see the commission.
When you sell the service use the group item. On screen you will see the fee computed, but when you print or print preview the fees will not be shown.
