UC-09 · Manual line override

You can override the resolved rate on one sales line. A line Manual Commission % replaces the plan rate for that line. The resulting entry gets a flag.

Expected result: with a 5% plan but the line set to 8%, the entry uses 8%, and the app flags it Manual Override.

Setup

Use a 5%-of-sales plan with one agent at 100% (as in UC-01).

Set the override on the line

  1. On the sales document, select the commissionable line.
  2. Set Manual Commission % to 8. (If the field is not visible, add it with Personalize. It is one of the line’s commission fields, next to Commissionable, Manual Commission Amount, Commission Agent Override, and Commission Plan Override.)
  3. (Optional) Choose Preview Commission on the Sales Order / Sales Invoice. The preview shows the line at 8%, with no side effects.

Post the invoice

Post the invoice for $10,000 of that line.

Result

Field Value
Rate Pct 8
Commission Amount 800.00 (8% × 10,000)
Manual Override Yes

The override flag is set on the entry and on its detail row. An auditor can therefore see that the amount came from a manual rate, not from the plan.

Notes

  • A line Manual Commission % overrides the resolved rate. A line Manual Commission Amount sets the line’s commission directly. With a multi-agent split, the app divides that amount across the agents by their splits.
  • Commission Agent Override / Commission Plan Override on the line (or the header) send the line to a different agent or plan. The customer’s assignments do not change.
