+Like for any business, your employees form the lifeline of your shop’s operations.
+
+So keeping them motivated to perform better has a direct bearing on your bottom line.
+
+In service-based industries, one of the best ways to incentivize workers is through generous commission payouts.
+
+At RepairDesk, we understand the value that such provisions hold in terms of fostering improved employee morale.
+
+The bulk of repair shop management solutions, however, are not amenable to accounting for these voluntary offerings. Specifically, they make it hard (even next to impossible, on occasion) to record these revenue outflows in any systematic way, so that the figures may reflect accurately in end-of-year statements.
+
+For alleviating this problem for our users, RepairDesk 2.0 comes with a dedicated commission reporting feature on its POS interface.
+
+**The Feature Highlights are as follows:**
+------------------------------------------
+
+1. **4 Commission Templates _\[\*_**_\_Service Item, Product, Buyback, Special Order\__**\*_\]_**
+2. **Product & Service-Based Commissions**
+3. **Seamless Integration with** **_Dashboard\*_**_,_\* **_Chart of Accounts\*_**_, & Relevant_\* **_Financial Reports_**
+4. **Profit or Revenue-Based Commission Deductions**
+
+**_Service Item\*_**_\-type commissions, by default, can be tiered for up to 3 service professionals involved in a repair gig - as per store owner discretion. But more employees can be added against the commission amount at the time of checkout._\*
+
+**For instance, if a cell phone repair assignment entailed the shop workings of a store cashier/device recipient, a specialized repair technician, and an invoicer, their individual commissions (based on a set ratio of a total amount - 100% - decided by the store owner) could be rolled out automatically - reflected in the commission report.**
+
+**How to Enable Commission Reporting**
+--------------------------------------
+
+To enable the commission report, simply go to _Store Settings_ and click on the _Store_ tab - then _Commission._
+
+Set the toggle to ‘Enabled’.
+
+****
+
+**_Note: The options/features discussed are enclosed in blue lining._**
+
+**Choose Commission Deductions Type**
+-------------------------------------
+
+Here, you have one of two options:
+
+1. Profit-based Deduction
+2. Revenue-based Deduction
+
+Slide the toggle underneath to the right to enable commission deductions.
+
+****
+
+**Configure/Set Commission Template**
+-------------------------------------
+
+Once you’ve enabled commissions deduction, you need to set a commission template for store-wide implementation.
+
+Please note that multiple templates cannot be deployed simultaneously - only one at a time.
+
+Here, you again have one of two options:
+
+1. Choose a default template
+2. Create a new one
+
+### **Create a New Template**
+
+You can create a new template to customize commission cuts based on your store preferences.
+
+To do this, simply click on the ‘_\*\_+ New Commission\__\*’ option on the page/box bottom.
+
+****
+
+This would open a new box with an assortment of selectable options - under the heading ‘_\*\_New Commission Template\__\*’.
+
+****
+
+Here, you can select the template type from the ‘_Use this Template For_’ dropdown field above.
+
+This yields 4 options from which you can choose one:
+
+1. Service Item
+2. Product
+3. Buyback
+4. Special Order
+
+****
+
+The Service Item category opens three commissions percentage settings fields under the ‘_Contribution_’ head - set by default to account for the amount/ratio set for the worker ‘_booking_’ the repair job, the worker ‘_checking out the invoice_’, and the tech ‘_working on the repair job_’.
+
+As mentioned, the individual percentage should total a hundred percent (representing the total commission amount set for the working cycle by the store owner).
+
+The total commission percentage and the template name need to be entered in their correspondingly labeled fields - as shown:
+
+****
+
+Click on the ‘Save’ button on the bottom right to deploy the template for commissions recording/calculations.
+
+Please Note:
+
+The _Contribution_ field for divided commission allotments is exclusive to the ‘_Service Item_’ template selection.
+
+For the other three template categories, the said field only shows the ‘_Person Checking Out the Invoice (%)_’ cut entry option - as indicated:
+
+****
+
+**Post Activation**

+
+Once the commission report feature has been enabled, the deductions reporting will show up under the relevant ‘_Finance_’ and ‘_Reports_’ tab options.
+
+**Accessing the Commission Report**
