# Configure commissions
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)](/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/customer-ledger-windows/customer-ledger-preferences-ar101000/).
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)](/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/customer-ledger-windows/salespersons-ar205000/) window.
## Set the commission period and select a calculation option
1. Go to the [Customer ledger preferences (AR101000)](/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/customer-ledger-windows/customer-ledger-preferences-ar101000/) 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.
