QCommission is a powerful, flexible sales commission software tool. It calculates sales people’s compensation, accurately, quickly and professionally. QCommission is integrated with QuickBooks but can also be operated stand- alone.
Sales compensation programs are possibly the most variable programs conducted by a firm. These programs tend to vary significantly from industry to industry, and many times within companies in an industry. Because of the highly variable nature of commission calculations, solutions attempting to solve the problem have to be highly sophisticated. At the same time, they should not burden the user with additional complexity in their operations. One key area of complexity is allowing data interchange between the customer’s existing accounting systems and the commissions system. A commission system that can understand the structure of the accounting system data and seamlessly bring in the appropriate data necessary for calculating commissions can be a huge benefit in reducing the inherent complexity in that process.
COMPLEMENTING QUICKBOOKS
QuickBooks does not currently provide detailed sales commission calculation abilities. It is difficult to calculate commissions for
• Split commission for multiple reps
• Overrides for managers
• Varying commission rates by products or customers
• Varying commission rates by attainment
• Commissions based on gross profit
• Commissions based on paid invoices versus regular invoices
• Commissions on sales orders
• Deductions of expenses from commissions
QCommission complements these needs completely. It can calculate these and other types of commission calculations that QuickBooks does not handle, very effectively.
DATA INTEGRATION
QCommission is designed to integrate with QuickBooks from the ground up. QCommission can import any of the following data from QuickBooks.
• Invoices, Payments, Credit Memos, Estimates, Purchase Orders, Bills
• Customers, Customer Jobs, Products and Vendors
QCommission can selectively import data using various criteria such as:
• Restrict Invoice import using a date range such as the current period
• Restrict Invoice import to just paid invoices
• Bring in Gross Profit and costs using different methods
• Costs from Estimates
• Costs from Items
• Costs from Purchase Orders/Bills
QCommission can also export commission payout data to QuickBooks Payroll and Accounts Payable, depending on whether the payee is an employee or an agent. Data can also be exported to Excel and text files.

QUICKBOOKS INTEGRATION TECHNOLOGY
Intuit supplies the QuickBooks SDK (Software Development Kit) to allow third party products to work with QuickBooks. The SDK makes sure that the integration works well with the various versions and models of QuickBooks. The SDK also ensures that the third party product is properly authenticated prior to getting access to the QuickBooks data. QCommission has partnered with Intuit to use the SDK to access QuickBooks data.
CellarStone provides QXchange, a sophisticated integration tool to map QuickBooks data to QCommission. QCommission can import data from other file formats such as MS Access, fixed width text files, delimited text files, Excel, MS SQL Server, Salesforce.com and other sources.
