The commission for a user can be calculated based on two methods.

Invoice value: With this method, commissions are calculated based on the total invoice amount generated by the agent.
For instance, if an agent’s monthly invoice amount totals $5000 and the commission percentage is set at 10%, the user will receive $500 as commission.

Payment Received: Alternatively, commissions can be calculated based on the actual payments received.
For instance: if the agent’s monthly invoice amount is $5000 with a 10% commission rate, but only $2000 is received within the month, the user will receive $200 as commission. If the remaining $3000 is received in the following month, the user will receive an additional $300 as commission

To See the commission amount, Go to Reports -> Sales Representative Report.

Select the User for which you want to see the commission amount.

On selecting it will show you the detailed summary of Total Sale, Total Sale Commission & Total Expense. Also, the table below lists all the transactions.
