We’re seeking assistance with our accounting software to track sales commissions for employees. Each employee should earn a commission on every sales invoice they generate (sales). We need help setting up the system to calculate commissions automatically, generate reports on earnings per employee, and facilitate payments at the end of each period. Any advice on how to set this up efficiently would be appreciated.

Create a custom field which contains the salesman’s name and add that to every Sales Invoice for credit sales or to every Receipt for cash sales.
Then you can create a custom report or query with the totals by Salesman

It won’t
There is no way to calculate commission in Manager
You can export the data to Excel, for example, and calculate it there
