Manually adjusting a transaction impacts the commissions ledger. The following are common scenarios and their impact on the ledger.

Salesforce adjustments to uncommitted transactions

Change to the amount in Salesforce on uncommitted transactions

Scenario: Change the amount of the original transaction in Salesforce from 5000 USD to 7000 USD on an uncommitted transaction.

Current cell data prior to changes:

  • Commissions ledger:

    • Commissionable Amount: 5000.00 USD

    • Commission: 250.00 USD

Result: The original transaction is updated and the original commission is recalculated. Since the transaction is uncommitted, the original transaction is updated and there is only one transaction in the commission ledger.

Salesforce adjustments to committed transactions

Change to the amount in Salesforce on committed transactions

Scenario: Change the amount of the original transaction in Salesforce from 5000 USD to 7000 USD on a committed transaction.

Current cell data prior to changes:

  • Transaction table:

    • Amount: 5000

  • Commissions ledger:

    • Commissionable Amount: 5000.00 USD

    • Commission: 250.00 USD

Result: The original transaction that is unlocked is updated. Since the transaction is committed, the original transaction does not change in the commissions ledger. A new transaction with the adjustment type trueup is created with the status as pending which adds the difference from the original transaction to reflect the change in Salesforce.

Cell data after adjustment:

  • Transaction table:

    • Amount: 7000

  • Commissions ledger:

Change the opportunity name in Salesforce on committed transactions

Scenario: Change the opportunity name of the original transaction in Salesforce from New Opportunity6 to Updated Oppty on an committed transaction.

Result: The original transaction is updated with the new opportunity name. Since there are no numeric value changes, the original committed transaction is updated with the new name.

Change the split owner in Salesforce on committed transactions

Scenario: Change name of the split owner in Salesforce.

Result: In the original transaction the recipient is updated. On the commissions ledger, a new transaction with the adjustment type trueup is created with the original split owner and a negative value to remove the commissions for the original owner.

The original ledger entry remains unchanged in a committed status.

Fullcast adjustments

Manage payees on uncommitted transactions

You need to replace the original payee with a different person before the period is closed.

  • Process: Edit payee to add a new manual payee or exclude an existing one.

  • Expected result: After running commission processing, the ledger will automatically exclude the original payee and add the new one.

Handle adjusted transactions

You need to create a new adjusted transaction on top of an original record:

Include or exclude full transactions

  • Exclude: Excluding a transaction and running processing removes it entirely from the commission ledger.

  • Include: Re-including a previously excluded transaction and running processing restores it to the ledger.
