Figure 13 Sales Order and S/O Invoice Entry During Sales Order and S/O Invoice Data Entry, a line that references an Inventory Item will have the line Item commission rate calculated as follows: 1) The line extension is compared to the extended Standard Price (Quantity * Standard Price). The percentage difference of the two numbers is determined. If a Sales Promotion price is in effect for an Item, the Sale Price will be considered to be the Standard Price. 2) The Item s commission table is accessed and the tier corresponding to the calculated discount rate is located. If there is no Item table, then the Product Line table is checked. If there is no Product Line table, then the Customer s table is checked. 3) For which ever of the above is used, the corresponding commission rate is applied to the line. 2008 Sage Software, Inc.

4) For a Sales Promotion price, if you adjust the price downward from the Sale Price, the Commission table By Discount file is read with the percentage discount from the Sale Price and a commission rate is then determined. If an Item has a Sales Promotion and there is a Price Level record for that Item with a Pricing Method of Discount %, the Sales Promotion price will be used in place of the Standard Price, and the Price Level s tier discounts will be applied to that Sales Promotion. Example: Item A123 has a Standard price of 99.95. It also has a Price Level of A set up with a one-tier 20% discount. There is a Sales Promotion for the month of July of $75. Price level A is referenced on a Sales Order line that contains Item A123 in July, the Unit Price will be $60 (20% off $75). Discount % used to determine commission rate will be 20%.
