What process to the finance team follow to work out commission payments?

  1. After month end, the finance team pull data from Salesforce report (link) with the details of all opportunities with a closed won date of last month. This report includes new business, expansion and renewal opportunities that include an upsell.
  2. The data is then added to the ‘Data’ tab in the Commission Calculator sheet (link). Data should be added below the existing set rather than replacing it.
  3. The finance team will add an invoice number to each opportunity in the list. This is the number of the invoice upon payment of which, commission can be paid out to an AE or AM.
  4. On 24th of each month, the finance team will pull a report from Netsuite showing the status of all invoices. Commission will be paid out on any opportunities where the related invoice has been paid between the 24th of the previous month and the 23rd of the current month.
  5. A breakdown of commission that is going to be paid in a particular month is recorded on on on the monthly tabs in the Commission Calculator. This will be shared with AEs and AMs before payroll.
  6. There is also a list of opportunities that have not yet paid by going to the ‘Not Paid’ tab. This is so help AEs and AMs work out whether they should get in contact with a customer.
