SmartCommissions - Carrier and Product Setup


Overview


As part of the module setup process for SmartCommissions, the administrator can specify default commission settings in individual carrier and product records. These settings apply to both contract/rate-based and advanced commission split module configurations.


Note: To configure carrier- and product-level settings, a user must have the CTM Administrator or CTM Processing license. For more information, see User Setup.


During commission processing, any settings configured at the carrier level take precedence over the correspondeing office-level settings defined in Commissions Setup. Similarly, any product-level settings take precedence over both carrier- and office-level settings.


Configuring Carrier-Level Defaults
