With the goal of simplifying how companies manage sales commissions, Odoo 18 offers a powerful commission management feature. This new feature enables businesses to set up and automate commission structures according to a number of parameters, including product categories, sales volumes, or individual transactions.
Key features include:
Commission Plans: You can create flexible commission plans that can be applied to specific products, categories, or sales targets. The plans can be customized to offer percentage-based commissions or flat rates.
Salesperson Configuration: Each salesperson can be assigned a commission plan, and commissions are calculated automatically during the sales order process. This makes tracking easier and ensures commissions are applied accurately across various transactions.
Automated Workflow: Odoo 18 introduces a seamless workflow for managing commissions, from creating sales orders to generating invoices and registering payments. Once a payment is made, Odoo automatically generates a corresponding bill for the salesperson's commission, which can then be paid out.
Reporting and Analytics: Users can generate reports on commissions earned, allowing for better visibility into sales team performance and compensation.
