The Based On setting defines the method with which the Commission Amount is to be calculated.
The options are:
Gross Revenue - The line item total for all items to which the Commission applies which is determined by the actual sale amount per item, prior to any Discounts at the bottom of the Invoice. The Commission Amount is a percent figure.
Profit - The difference between the Sale Amount and the Average Cost of the item which is determined by the actual sale amount per item, prior to any Discounts at the bottom of the Invoice. The Commission Amount is a percent figure.
Qty - The quantity sold for all items to which the Commission applies. The Commission Amount is in Dollars. For fractional quantities the Clerk receives the corresponding fraction of the Commission Amount.
