Commissions Optimizer for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations
Why commissions optimizer?
Inventory costs can be changing and become a challenge for the sales team to predict their commissions. Many businesses need commissions to be calculated flexibly and without impacting inventory costs.
Commissions optimizer enables businesses to calculate the sales commission in an efficient and flexible way by considering various factors viz. fixed cost parameter, percentage value and product freight. This allows
sales teams to trust the system and allows them to focus more on selling and worrying less about changing
margin throughout the month.
We at Real Dynamics have taken an initiative to ease this customer pain by optimizing commission and its
calculations by certain setups which will execute the sales commission cost on various factors such as
inventory cost, which keeps on changing as per market demands, considering Unit of measurement
conversion factors and cost uplift amounts (Promotional benefits) and thereby adding fixed cost overrides, if
any.
