Commission and payout calculation involves extracting sales data from a CRM, applying complex tiered formulas, and manually verifying results before routing to payroll.
Automation extracts deal data directly from the CRM, applies commission rules consistently, flags exceptions for review, and routes approved payouts to the accounting system. The result is faster, error-free commissions with a complete audit trail.
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
Automation is triggered on the last business day of the month or on a scheduled date. The workflow checks that sales data is finalized.
Automation pulls closed deals, deal values, and rep assignments API for the completed period. Data is validated and deduplicated.
The automation applies commission rules (base rate, tiered bonuses, overrides) to each rep's deals. Calculations are logged with full audit trail.
Automation identifies outliers (unusually high payouts, missing rep data, deals outside normal range) and flags them for human review.
Commission summary and exception report are sent to the finance manager via email or for review and sign-off.
Once approved, commission totals are automatically imported as a batch payroll entry. Amounts are reconciled against the calculation log.
Each rep receives an email with their commission breakdown and payout date. A summary report is posted for the sales team.
