# Example: Report on commissions earned in Reporting (Beta)

A short report that totals committed commissions by recipient from one commissions ledger, plus a deal-level list of the same entries. It builds on a dataset and a report, so start with those articles if you're new to Reporting (Beta).

## Before you begin

- Your commission plans have run, so the commissions ledger has entries.
- You know how to build a dataset and a report. Refer to [Build a dataset in Reporting (Beta)](/plan-and-pay/docs/build-a-dataset-in-reporting-beta) and [Build and save a report in Reporting (Beta)](/plan-and-pay/docs/build-and-save-a-report-in-reporting-beta).

## Set up the commissions dataset

1. From the top navigation bar, click **Reports** (**BETA**).
2. Click **Add New** > **Report**.
3. Under **Start with what each row of your dataset should be**, click **Accounts**.
4. On the **Accounts** card, click **Add related data** and select **Commissions**. The badge changes to **Each row = 1 commission**.
5. Click the **Commissions** card. Under **Ledger · required**, choose the ledger your compensation plans write to.
6. On the same card, add a filter: **Adjustment status** equals **COMMITTED**.

A commissions report reads one ledger at a time, because totals across ledgers would combine separate commission runs. Committed entries are final. Pending entries can still change, so leave them out of any report people rely on for what they earned.

## Total commissions by recipient

1. Click **Continue to report builder**.
2. Drag **Commission** onto **METRICS**. It totals as a sum.
3. Drag **Recipient** onto **VIEW BY**.
4. **Optional:** Drag **Pay date** onto **TIME PERIOD** to limit the report to a date window, such as this fiscal year.
5. From **REPORT TYPE**, select **Summary table**, then click **Run**.

Each row is one recipient and the committed commission recorded for them in that ledger. This report shows commissions the ledger has already calculated. It doesn't forecast future commissions.

## List the deals behind the total

1. From **REPORT TYPE**, select **Detail rows**.
2. Add **Recipient**, **Opp name**, **Commissionable amount**, **Commission %**, **Commission**, and **Pay date**.
3. Click **Run**.

Each row is one commission entry. A deal can appear on more than one row for the same person, because each entry is one component of a plan.

## Check your numbers

For payout totals, the commissions ledger is the source of truth. If a total in the report doesn't match it, check these first:

- The ledger you picked.
- The **Adjustment status** filter.
- The date window on **TIME PERIOD**, if you set one.
