Answer: Dynamics GP cannot automatically assign different Salesperson IDs to different line items on a sales document, which means it does not have the built-in ability to pay a royalty or unique commission rate for each unique line item. However, you do not have to calculate this manually. Commission Plan’s automation capabilities make it easy for you to use Dynamics GP to pay royalties or unique commissions on any of your inventory items.
Example: Suppose you’re a book publisher wanting to pay a royalty to an author whenever you sell a copy of their book. In that case, you can use Commission Plan to set up the author as a Salesperson ID in GP and assign their Salesperson ID to their book, which is just an inventory item in your system. Every time that item (the book) is sold, Commission Plan will automatically calculate the appropriate author royalty, even if their book is only a single line item within a large book order.
Another example is inventors. Simply assign the inventor as a Salesperson ID and then assign their Salesperson ID to earn royalties when their product is sold from your inventory. It’s fast, easy, automatic, and accurate.
