Mature License: AGPL-3 OCA/commission Translate me on Weblate Try me on Runboat

This module allows to define sales agents with their commissions and assign them in customers and sales orders.

You can then make the settlements of these commissions, and generate the corresponding supplier invoices to pay their commissions fees.

You can define which base amount is going to be taken into account: net amount (based on margin) or gross amount (line subtotal amount)

Known issues / Roadmap

  • Make it totally multi-company aware.
  • Be multi-currency aware for settlements.
  • Allow to calculate and pay in other currency different from company one.
  • Allow to group by agent when generating invoices.
  • Set agent popup window with a kanban view with richer information and mobile friendly.
  • When contacts are created as part of the insertion data for the creation of the parent company; the parent company’s agents don’t be passed to the contacts because it is a multi-valued field.
  • Add scheduled action (cron) for automatic settling. See https://github.com/OCA/commission/issues/226 for more details.
  • Add a new commission type called «Flat Rate». See https://github.com/OCA/commission/issues/226 for more details.
