How to Manage Levels

 

Summary

The Level is the second step in allowing you to create a Payable Entry so you can begin to calculate commission for your Payees or users, such as sales reps or technicians. The Level allows for the creation of Line Items, which are instrumental in the commission calculation process. 

  • Three things to consider about Levels:
    • They breakdown Job Functions into manageable tiers for your different sets of Payees.
    • They assigned to a User as a Payee Assignment and are required in order to create a Payable Entry.
    • They are made of a series of Line Items, which determine how calculations are broken down on a Payable Entry.

This page will show you how to manage Levels on the admin side. This includes being able to view, create, duplicate, edit and delete the Levels.


Terms

Payable Entry
