  • End Date -  end date is optional, specify only if the team is terminated

  • Type - the value is always Team

Select the appropriate Draw from the dropdown. Draws are advances on commissions and can be forgivable or unforgivable.

Tip: If the team is to receive a draw, you can define the Draw Type and the Amount in the Setup tab of the Commissions Console.

  1. Select the code type - Primary (required) or Alternate (optional)

  • Start Date - indicate when the member joined the team

(Optional) A payout table can be assigned to the team, which results in net splits. In such case a Payout Percentage is applied to the total amount of the commission that will be paid out to the team before it is split between team members.

Tip: Individual team members also have payout rates, which are typically different based on experience or seniority. These are found in the Employee Setup tab of the Commissions Console.

To assign a payout table, open the Lookup Tables tab, right-click in the table and select Add from the pop-up menu.

(Optional) Add adjustments to the team’s payouts:

  • adjustments are amounts added or subtracted from a team's pay after all other calculations

  • types of adjustments include chargebacks, fees (e.g., technology fees), and corrections

  • adjustments can be one-time or recurring

  • the team splits are applied to adjustments in the same way as to commissions

Tip: Adjustments can also be added via the Adjustment Monitor. A Commission Administrator typically handles this task.

To an adjustment, open the Adjustments tab, right-click in the table and select Add from the pop-up menu.

Click SAVE. The new Team is added to the Team Monitor. Once the team is created, you must assign the new team to a commission plan for it to receive any payouts.

Adding a Team to a Commission Plan

Right-click on the team in the Team Monitor and select Assign to Commission Plan from the pop-up menu.

Select the Commission Plan, specify a mandatory Start Date and an optional End Date, then click OK.

The system displays a confirmation message. Click OK to close this popup.
