Phreesoft Support Forum

Hi, again I'd like to start with congrulations, the more I become familiar with Phreedom the more I like it, very well done!

I am still in test mode and am writing a simple script that allows me to enter new transactions from a shopping cart. I am having to integrate with a non-standard cart so have simply copied the functionality of the POS sales entries. All seems to work fine, so now I am moving on to the next challenge.

I need to have a sales commission calculated for every SKU (which I have included as a extra field in the inventory table). I am confused though as to how to set up the chart of accounts and journal_item entries to properly account for the transactions. I need the sales account to register the total sale, but then a commission account to be shown as a cost of sale and somehow for it all to balance.

Any help would be fantastic.

Thank you!

Actually, I've worked it out. I just registered the commission account as a cost of sale account and put some statements to add in the commission amounts as debits.
All balances OK, so I'm happy

Have any New idea for sales Commission

Commissions are not considered a cost of goods sold and should be treated as an expense. The best way to handle this would be to set up a separate entry for commission as a roll up for a period of sales or individually if the commission needs to be tied to each sale. The calculation cannot be handled inside of Phreedom but must be entered separately through a purchase/receive to show amounts owed to sales reps (or other vendors).
