[SL] Discount varying according to salesperson

[Antony G. <an...@wa...>]

Hi all,

I have an interesting requirement from a customer.

They want to be able to print commission reports for salespeople.  I 
note that the AR transaction report doesn't allow selection by 
salesperson.  Would this need to be coded as a new report or have I 
missed it somewhere?

It gets more complicated.  They pay commission such that the percentage 
is different depending on the product types that they have sold.  For 
example, 20% on hamburgers, 10% on baked beans.  I've looked at the Add 
Part screen, but I don't see anywhere to assign categories (that could 
be leveraged in the report above).  Does this type of functionality 
exist out of the box?  Am I looking at the wrong screen?

The piece de resistance is that the commission rate itself may be 
discounted for certain customers, typically where the salesperson wants 
to offer a large discount, he takes a hit on commission as well.

I expect that this could be built into the report in the first 
paragraph, if everything else was in place, but again, I just want to 
know if I'm reinventing the wheel and there is a way of doing this out 
of the box.
