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 leverages a robust, rules-based engine that ensures accuracy, flexibility, and full traceability.

Why choose AL Commissions Management?

Managing sales agent commissions is complex: multiple agents, different calculation rules, discount scales, and settlement policies require a robust, automated system to ensure accurate processing.
With AL Commissions Management, all rules are defined inside Business Central using standard lookups and filters, while accruals and settlements are automated with full auditability.

Key features

• Rules engine for commissions: define setups per agent, type, and validity period. Add conditions using standard Business Central lookups (items, categories, dimensions, customers, price groups, and more).
• Multi-level agent hierarchies: create N-level commission trees with start and end dates. Each document automatically applies the hierarchy active at its posting date.
• Flexible calculation basis: commissions can be calculated on invoiced or collected amounts, depending on the active setup for each agent and commission type.
• Discount scales: link commission % to the actual discount granted to the customer, ensuring alignment between pricing and commissions.
• Document integration: the agent list is inherited from the hierarchy at document creation but can be overridden at header or line level if needed.
• Automated batch processing: accruals and settlements can be scheduled and executed automatically, ensuring up-to-date results even for high-volume organizations.
• Dual-stage ledgering: commissions are first recorded as accrued entries and later as settled entries, providing clear separation between potential and paid commissions.
• Audit trail & traceability: every entry is linked down to shipments/returns and up to agent settlement invoices, enabling complete transparency.

Benefits

• Robust and reliable: rules and discount scales ensure accurate line-level calculation.
• Flexible: adapt to any commission model thanks to extensible calculation and target types.
• Automated: batch jobs handle accruals and settlements, reducing operational effort.
• Scalable: proven to handle high transaction volumes and complex hierarchies.
• Compliant: dual-stage ledgering and locking guarantee auditability and data integrity.
• Historical accuracy: document hierarchies and setups are time-based, so each document always applies the correct rules and agents valid at its posting date.

Typical scenarios

• Sales organizations with multi-level agent structures requiring different commission types at each level.
• Companies that settle commissions based on invoiced vs. collected amounts, depending on business policy.
• Businesses with complex discount policies, where commissions adjust according to actual discounts.
• Any company looking to automate recurring commission processes, improving accuracy and efficiency.

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.
