# Configure commissions

Last modified February 23, 2026

> You can configure the commission period and define commission calculation parameters for all salespersons on the Customer ledger preferences (AR101000) window.


For more information: [Customer ledger preferences (AR101000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/customer-ledger-windows/customer-ledger-preferences-ar101000/index.md).

To set a default commission for a particular salesperson and specify a commission percent for each customer the salesperson works with, use the [Salespersons (AR205000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/customer-ledger-windows/salespersons-ar205000/index.md) window.

## Set the commission period and select a calculation option

1. Go to 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.
1. Go to the **General information** tab.
1. In the **Salesperson commission by** field of the **Salesperson commission settings** area, define the method of commission calculation by selecting one of the following options:

    + **Invoice**: This option calculates the commission on the invoice when it is released (whether it was paid or not).
    + **Payment**: This option calculates the commission on the paid invoice when it receives the **Closed** status. In this case, the commission base is decreased by the amount of any discount taken by the customer.
1. In the **Commission period type** field, select **Monthly**, **Quarterly**, **Yearly**, or **By financial period**. Commission is calculated once during the selected time period for all salespersons.
1. In the window toolbar, click **![icon-save](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/media/visma-net-erp/icon-save.png)**.

## Set a salesperson default commission

1. Go to the [Salespersons (AR205000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/customer-ledger-windows/salespersons-ar205000/index.md) window.
1. Select the salesperson in the **Salesperson ID** field.
1. In the **Default commission %** field, specify the default percent of commission. This commission percent can be overridden for a particular invoice.
1. Optional: Create a list of customers the salesperson works with, and specify the particular commission percent for every customer, if it differs from the default commission percent. To add a customer the salesperson works with, perform the following steps:

    1. In the table toolbar of the **Customers** tab, click **Add row** to append a new row to the table.
    1. In the **Customer** column, select the customer the salesperson works with.
    1. In the **Commission %** column, enter the commission percent to be used on sales for the specified customer.
1. In the window toolbar, click ![icon-save](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/media/visma-net-erp/icon-save.png).
