Re: Helios Commission Report Help

I am be in direct opposition, but unfortunately I am right ... the workings of Employee Data Commission are unworkable for most salons.

ratio is percentage ... that is all it is ... 5% is a ratio of 5 ... what is commission but a percent/ratio of the sale.

Do you have anything in VALUE below DEFAULT PRICE on the Financial Tab ... looking at the difference between 5% and ~2% makes me wonder if you have put your COST of the item in VALUE (between Default and Minimum).

VALUE is the commissionable VALUE of the sales code ... if VALUE is left at 0.00 then commission will be calculated on the actual selling price, if any other VALUE is entered commission will be calculated on that VALUE.

This version (I am assuming V11) will calculate your commission just fine ... just use RATE of 5% on applicable sales code with Value set to 0.00 ... then pay, or double and pay or triple and pay depending on the Employee Sales volume for the commission cycle.

The last time I saw Centrix they are not anywhere close to doing commission, but I am sure they have now. Do not know what approach changes they have adopted ... I know they intended to make it a REPORT based environment, meaning the commission would be calculated at time of report not on each transaction ... but I am not sure what has actually happened. It will be the better part of a year before any of my clients will begin to seriously evaluate Centrix, too many things are likely to change between now and then for me to spend much time looking at it (but who know, time will tell).
