I need it too.

I assume the price to the customer includes your employee’s commission, so your problem is how to calculate your employees commission for a pay period.
Have you tried

  • A custom field with a drop down list of sales team members.
  • A custom report for the pay period, grouped by this custom field

Sales commissions are seldom listed on invoices. It is no business of your customer how much commission you pay, if any. You simply need to include commission in determining your sales price.

Payment of commission is a separate transaction and does not involve the customer or the sales invoice.

Determining Sales Commission and showing it in Chart of Accounts is important.
We know
Net Sales = Sales Revenue - (Return + Discount + Allowance or Commissions)

I think there is a safe and sexy way.
a) Open a account Commission in Liability Section. and another a account Commission in Expense section.
b) To track the contributor or salesperson or commission receiver, you can use custom field in sales invoice. When issuing a sales invoice, don’t forget to place the sales person’s or contributor’s name.
c) Make a journal Entry
Debit = Sales Revenue
Credit = Sales Commission (Liability Group)
(Reference can be the specific Sales Invoice Number, write Sales Commission in Description box)
(you can do it altogether during Closing time.)
d) Make a pay slip after generating every sales invoice to confirm the commission for the contributor (you can do it altogether during Closing time.)
e) When you will pay this commissions to the contributor, you will pay from the
Sales Commission Account from the Liability Group.
