For sales people, nothing is more important than earning a commission for their sales performance. Sales people work hard to close their sales and expect to get their sales commissions accurately and on a timely basis.
They expect the calculations to be accurate based upon the agreed upon compensation plans. They need transparent and detailed statements that explain the basis of every calculation.
Most sales people would agree that they do not get a clear and correct commission statement. Compensation plans are by their nature complex. The data needed to calculate the plans is not always available from a single source, the plans change on a regular basis and there are exceptions to the exceptions. Sales people get their sales commissions typically weeks after the period is over. Frequently the crediting and calculations are incorrect. As a result, the commission statements are not clear and obvious. They have no idea how they are getting paid, or waste time trying to figure out what they should get paid. Companies and sales people must deal with compensation litigations for paying less or paying over the expected results.
QCommission is a powerful, flexible sales commission software tool. It calculates sales people's compensation accurately and quickly. QCommission is integrated with Xero but can also be operated stand- alone.

Field level data from the objects can be extracted and mapped to destination objects and fields in different data formats. Data from multiple objects can be extracted. Multiple profiles can be set up to extract data from various objects. Source data can also be filtered using various expressions. Prior to executing extract, the source data can be viewed to make sure, the right records are getting selected.
Target Data
