<h2 id="how-it-works">How It Works</h2>

<ol>
<li>Assign employees and define commission bands for the year and month range.</li>
<li>On approved sale invoices (and related sale documents per report logic), the system aggregates each employee's achievement by the selected <b>Calculation Period</b> (month, week, quarter, 6 month, or year).</li>
<li>For each band, sales matching the optional customer group, item group, and item filters are measured against Min/Max fields for the chosen <b>Calculated On</b> metric.</li>
<li>Commission is computed using <b>Calculation Method</b>:
<ul>
<li><b>Percentage</b> — band Percentage applied to qualifying achievement.</li>
<li><b>Value</b> — fixed band Amount when achievement falls in range.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>When <b>Calculated On</b> is Total Value and <b>Commision Calculation</b> is <b>Excess Over Min Value</b>, only the portion above the band minimum earns commission (marginal). <b>Full Sale Value</b> applies commission to the full qualifying amount in the band.</li>
</ol>

<p><b>Connected report:</b> <a href="#/sales/reports/sale-target-commision">Sale Target Commission</a> — run for the matching calculation period (month, week, quarter, 6 month, or year) with summary or detailed employee breakdown.</p>

<h2 id="faq">FAQ</h2>

<b>What is the difference between Full Sale Value and Excess Over Min Value?</b><br>
Full applies commission to all qualifying sales in the band. Excess Over Min Value (marginal) applies commission only to the amount above the band's minimum threshold.

<b>Can one employee be on multiple target schemes?</b><br>
Avoid overlapping year/month ranges for the same employee. The commission report uses the configured target for the selected period.

<b>Which sales count toward the target?</b><br>
Approved sale invoices in the scheme's year/month range attributed to the employee on the bill. Draft and cancelled invoices are excluded.

<b>How do I verify commission before payroll?</b><br>
Run <a href="#/sales/reports/sale-target-commision">Sale Target Commission</a> for the same period and employee. Cross-check totals with <a href="#/sales/reports/employee-sale-report">Employee Wise Sale Report</a>.

<b>What target types are supported?</b><br>
Quantity, sale value, and sale price bands. Each band can use full value or marginal (excess over minimum) commission calculation.

<b>Do collection targets use this screen?</b><br>
No. Collection commission is configured in <a href="#/sales/payment-collection-target">Payment Collection Target</a> and reported separately.
