# Calculate commissions (AR505500)

Last modified February 19, 2026

> In this window, you can collect information about commissions payable to salespersons for the earliest open commission period.


This topic provides information about the elements in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.

Each invoice contains the commission details, which are calculated based on the number of
salespersons associated with the invoice and their percentages.
Commission earned
can be collected over all the invoices or over the paid invoices only, depending on
the **Salesperson commission by** option selected in the [Customer ledger preferences (AR101000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/customer-ledger-windows/customer-ledger-preferences-ar101000/index.md) window.

> [!NOTE]
> We recommend that you prepare commissions once per commission period, just before closing the period.

In commission calculation for the open commission period, all invoices that match the conditions of commission calculation and have dates earlier than the ending date of period are included. Thus, you need not recalculate commission for the period if some of the related documents are entered into the system later; they will be included in calculation for the next commission period. To repeat the process of preparing the commissions for the commission period if salespersons were incorrectly specified on invoices for the period, you must first void the prepared commissions by using the [Close commission period (AR506500)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/customer-ledger-windows/close-commission-period-ar506500/index.md) window, and then prepare them again.

The window is available if the **Commissions** functionality is enabled in the [Enable/disable functionalities (CS100000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/enable-or-disable-functionalites/enable-disable-functionalities-cs100000/index.md) window.
