What CommissionCentral is
CommissionCentral calculates, records, and pays sales commissions within Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Its plan builder supports date-scoped plans, ordered rules, tiered rates, and filters for salespeople, customers, items, and other dimensions. Commissions can be based on sales, margin, or a flat amount per unit, and recognized when a transaction is posted, paid, or shipped. Sales can be split across multiple agents; active customer or ship-to splits must total 100%. Payment batches can generate accounts-payable purchase invoices for vendor agents and payroll journal lines for employees. The system also supports draws, advances, and period caps. Managers can inspect outstanding, payable, and paid totals, with drill-down details and audit trails. An append-only ledger records source documents, rules, calculations, and posting users; credit memos create offsetting entries. Promotion to payable can happen automatically or require finance or manager review. The maker describes it as a cloud-safe, upgrade-safe extension for Business Central SaaS. Pricing is on request, there is no free plan, and a trial is available in a sandbox or via guided demo access.
