Payouts and Plans (Sales Compensation)

This dashboard is a dedicated overview of Sales Agents' Compensation Plans and Payouts. The dashboard provides a list of (Approved or Superseded) Compensation Plans and their structure without having to access the Sales Compensations module. Additionally, users can also see their payouts (made or planned).

The dashboard is intended to be used by Sales Agents, Sales Managers as well as Sales Compensations administrators. Sales Agents can see only their own data, Sales Managers can see details for all their reports (based on the “Reports To“ field in the Seller Master table) and SC Admins have unlimited selection.

Dashboard Settings

You can set the following fields:

  • Seller(s) – Allows you to select a Seller group. If left empty, the whole salesforce is selected (based on permissions). It is pre-selected and read-only for Sales Agents. Only reporting agents can be selected by Sales Managers.

  • Reporting Currency

    • If Source Currency is selected, the dashboard works with just pre-currency changes (no filtering, all results in Datamart currency).

    • If Payout Currency is selected, an additional option is displayed:

      • Compensation Plan Currency – Allows you to select a currency from those specified as “Payout Currency“ in plan(s) of the selected Seller(s).

  • Payout Year – Shows only years where there were payouts for the selected Seller(s). By default, the current year is selected.

  • Payout Date – Shows only dates of a selected Payout Year where there were payouts for the selected Seller(s). By default, the payout date closest to the current date (in future) is selected.

Each Compensation Plan can have several payouts because they are linked to the conditions (items) of the plan. The user is able to see how much and when payouts occurred in past.
