AL Commissions Management

Flexible, automated, and auditable commission management for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

AL Commissions Management is the all-in-one solution to calculate, accrue, and settle sales commissions directly inside Business Central.
Designed for small and midsize businesses but proven on large data volumes, it replaces manual spreadsheets with a robust, rules-based engine that ensures accuracy, flexibility, and full traceability.

Why choose AL Commissions Management?

Managing sales agent commissions is often complex: multiple agents, different calculation rules, discount scales, and settlement policies can quickly make spreadsheets unreliable.
With AL Commissions Management, you bring this process inside Business Central, leveraging standard lookups and filters to define rules while automating accruals and settlements with full auditability.

Key features

• Rules engine: define commission setups per agent, type, and validity period. Add conditions using standard Business Central lookups (items, categories, dimensions, customers, price groups, and more).
• Multi-level hierarchies: create N-level commission trees with start and end dates. Each document automatically applies the hierarchy valid at its posting date.
• Flexible calculation: commissions can be based on invoiced or collected amounts, depending on the active setup.
• Discount scales: link commission % to the actual discount granted, aligning pricing with commissions.
• Document integration: agent lists derive from hierarchies but can be overridden at header or line level if needed.
• Automated batches: accruals and settlements can run automatically via scheduled jobs, keeping results up to date.
• Dual-stage ledgering: first record accrued entries, then settled entries, ensuring clear separation and compliance.
• Full traceability: every entry links down to shipments/returns and up to settlement invoices, ensuring transparency.

Benefits

• Eliminate spreadsheets: no more manual or inconsistent calculations.
• Accurate and reliable: rules and discount scales guarantee line-level precision.
• Flexible: adapt to any commission model with extensible calculation and target types.
• Automated: scheduled jobs reduce effort and errors.
• Scalable: proven on high data volumes for organizations with large transaction flows.
• Compliant: dual-stage ledgering and locking protect integrity and auditability.
• Historically accurate: setups and hierarchies are time-based, so documents always apply the correct rules.

Typical scenarios

• Sales organizations with multi-level agent structures and different commission types at each level.
• Companies that settle commissions on invoiced vs. collected amounts, depending on business policy.
• Businesses with discount-sensitive commissions, where percentages vary with the actual discount.
• Organizations needing to automate recurring processes, saving time and minimizing errors.

Compatibility

• Fully integrated with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (current and recent versions).
• Works with standard sales, pricing, discounts, and dimensions.
• Designed for extensibility (enums and events) so partners can adapt it to industry-specific needs.
