Pay Commission of a Sales Partner

ERPNext User Forum
1
Hi,

I am trying to generate commission for a Sales Partner.

I created a Sales Partner, assigned the Partner to a Customer. The commission got generated based on the percentage, upon payment receipt from the customer.

I can see Commissions for Sales Partners from the Standard Report, however, I am unable to understand how do I pay for the Commission?

The Sales Partner is not created as a Vendor and there is no Accounts Payable generated for the commission amount.

Am I missing a part of the picture here?

Appreciate your help.

Hello Sarang,

For now, you will need to manually create accounting ledger for the Sales Partner, under Current Liability. Journal Voucher should be posted to update payable and payments towards Sales Partner.

Please create Github Issue to automated accounting feature for the Sales Partners.

Appreciate Umair,

As always, it is a delight to see prompt responses from team ERPNext. You are spoiling us by giving prompt response for free.

Anyways, I've created an issue as suggested : https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/issues/2196

Thanks,

Sarang

Hi, I have the same situation as Sarangdj, but i dont understand how to do when you say manually, and how it will update, can you give an example please.

5

Is it available in version 12?? possible to pay sales partner commission automatically?

6

I ve got the same problem with commission for sales partner in V12.
Is it a good trick to create a supplier for each sales partner and then create a payment request from the supplier form?

7

And once we put the sales partner in, run the journal entry, how does the system inform us that certain commissions have already been allocated and others have not? For example, if we pay a sales partner for Nov sales, will the system tell us “commissions paid” and when running the report only show unpaid commissions?
Also as the ERP system handles all inventory purchases, it should know the profit margin for the order as well. We pay on gross margin, how can we show the gross margin on the report, and not the revenue only?

To pay commission to a Sales Partner, you can manually create an accounting ledger under Current Liability and use a Journal Voucher to post the payable amount. Alternatively, you can create the Sales Partner as a Vendor or Supplier in your system. This allows you to process the payment through a payment entry, treating the commission similarly to any other vendor payable. This method helps track commissions owed and simplifies the payment process.

The ERP system, unfortunately, doesn’t automatically generate an Accounts Payable for Sales Partners. To automate this, a feature request would need to be submitted, as suggested earlier. In the meantime, using manual entries ensures that you properly track which commissions have been paid and which are outstanding. By running standard reports, you can monitor unpaid commissions and manage the payout process efficiently.
