What CommissionCentral is
CommissionCentral is a web extension for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central that calculates, records, approves, and pays sales commissions. Its plan builder supports date-scoped plans, ordered rules, scope matrices, and tiered waterfall rates. Commissions can use sales percentage, margin percentage, or a flat amount per unit, with recognition when posting, payment collection, or shipment occurs. Sales can be divided among multiple agents assigned to customers or ship-to addresses, and active splits must total 100%. Payment batches can create accounts-payable purchase invoices for vendor agents or payroll journal lines for employees. Draws, advances, and period caps are supported, with caps applied before draw netting and payable amounts floored at zero. Managers receive outstanding, payable, and paid totals with drill-down, commission details, and audit trails. An append-only ledger records source documents, rules, calculations, and posting users. Credit memos create offsetting entries, while already-paid reversals are flagged for reconciliation. Pricing is on request; there is no free plan, but trials are available.
