    Client is going crazy with commission reporting. Sales department has gone wild with the complexity. Rates vary by customer, by product, by ship to location, by date, etc. Are there any rules based enhancements developed for this or is this custom Access DB?

    My enhancement that works by telekinesis would be perfect for you. Custom Access DB. When they ask if it can be done, ask them how big their check book is.

    I did one with customer, item number, product line and sales rep by using a UDT. I should clarify, that it calculates it at the line level upon entry. This validates against the customer, date, item, salesperson, ship to location, etc. Store the amount in a UDF and report on it using Crystal.

    I haven't used this but I know Wayne was dragged into helping get the MAS90 interface built because of one of his clients: http://www.commissioncalc.com/

    I was about to chime in with the same info @MarkChinsky provided. I did not however do anything with these folks. He called me and asked about it and because I wanted money (versus I guess total consciousness) he begged off. If I'm not mistaken he showed up in a Blytheco press release about a year later so Blythe may have helped with the interface. I've not heard much from them since in terms of press releases, etc. Found that I'd previously discussed commission reporting with: http://www.commissioncalc.com/ My notes: Steve Flaum Flaum Technologies Inc Westport CT Is an ISV - has some problems getting through to Sage because they are not VARS. Sage suggested they get VAR support but they don't want to. He wanted me to give a special rate or to offer some additional assistance for being a development partner. I advised that the work wasn't any easier/harder so we did not have separate rates

    Advanced Scripting in 4.40 could be used. UDFs, UDTs and scripts can do a lot. If you look at this, consider turning off MAS 90/200 commission and just run your own.
