Download PDF - How is Easy-Commission different from ICM?
With the discontinuance of Intuit® Commissions Manager, Easy-Commission is stepping in its place to take care of customer needs. Easy-Commission is used to calculate sales commissions like Intuit® Commissions Manager but is a much more robust solution for commissions. For example, Intuit® Commissions Manager cannot split a commission for an invoice across 3 sales people; Easy-Commission can!
Intuit® Commissions Manager is designed to directly affect the QuickBooks® data. Intuit® Commissions Manager also is designed for the administrator to decide commissions on a single invoice at a time. Intuit® Commissions Manager operates at the full invoice rather than at the invoice line level. In Intuit® Commissions Manager, commission is paid on Invoices with a single Rep assigned to the invoice. Default commission percentages can be specified for Reps and the default commissions will be calculated when those invoices are ready to be paid. You can also override the commission percentages for each invoice or at the invoice line item level.
In addition, you can specify whether an item is non-commissionable by specifying the commission percentage as Zero. There is also the ability to pay a bonus on each invoice.
Once the Invoices are confirmed to be paid manually, these invoices will be moved to the “Paid History” section.
Easy-Commission copies the data from QuickBooks® and affects the data; this helps add a lot of extra information such as extra sales reps on each invoice. Easy-Commission also operates at an invoice line level so that each line can have different reps and different rates. Easy-Commission also operates at a rep level. Rules are specified at a rep level and it affects a whole set of invoices automatically.
Easy-Commission uses the following concepts that Intuit® Commissions Manager may not have.
Commission Schedule – You can define the pay period with dates. The app automatically calculates commissions only for invoices within the pay period only.
Commission Statement – a predefined commission statement is created for each rep for each pay period. This is what a sales rep expects to see.
Items/Products – To maintain additional information to facilitate additional commission calculations. Example: paying different commissions rates by product.
Commission Plan – When a sales rep is hired, they agree to a commission plan, which drives the commission calculations. Easy-Commission shows that plan within the system for each rep.

The basic process flow of Easy-Commission is like this:
Easy-Commission goes beyond the ability to of a simple commission calculator. It can support advanced commission scenarios like Manager Overrides, Splits, Draw and Tier rate commissions. It also provides the ability to customize the statements and to generate various reports and dashboards. This facilitates the easier tracking of sales process by both the Administrators and sales Reps. Because of all the additional abilities, more involvement is necessary in making the app work for a customer’s needs.
