Set up a commission plan and compute commission
Quick answerIn MAJA Books go to Sales → Commission, click New Plan to set your tiers (on invoice sales, money collected or both), link the plan to a salesman, then click Compute Commission, pick the salesman and a date in the period, check the preview and click Save run — an agent's run is then billed with Raise bill, an employee's joins payroll.
Create a plan
- Open MAJA Books and click Sales in the left menu, then Commission.
- Click New Plan.
- Enter Plan name * and set Status.
- Choose Pay commission on: Invoice sales, Money collected or Both.
- Choose Threshold measured per: Calendar month, Quarter or Year.
- Choose When a tier is crossed — whether the tier's rate applies to the whole amount or only above the threshold.
- Choose VAT in the basis and how Credit notes are treated.
- Under Tiers — your thresholds, your rates, set each tier's basis, the From (AED, in the period) threshold and the rate. Click Add tier for more.
- Click Save plan.
- Open Sales → Salesmen, edit the salesman and choose this plan in Commission Plan.
Compute a run
- On the Commission screen, click Compute Commission.
- Choose the Salesman * (only active salesmen on a plan are listed).
- Set Any date in the period *. MAJA works out the period from the plan.
- Check the preview: the invoice sales and/or collections counted, the tier reached, any adjustment on runs already paid, and Payable for this run.
- Click Save run.
What MAJA does for you
- Each run is numbered and lists the documents it counted.
- A collection counts when money actually reached the bank or cash — a cheque counts when it clears.
- If something already paid changes later (a voided invoice, a bounced cheque, a refund), the next run shows the adjustment and carries it.
- A negative run is saved as carried forward and nets against the next run; nothing is posted.
Pay the commission
- Outside agent (vendor): on the runs list click Raise bill. MAJA asks you to confirm, then creates a bill (Dr Commission Expense / Cr Accounts Payable) that you pay like any other bill.
- Employee: add the run to the salary payable from Payroll → Salary Payables.
Good to know
- Save run stays disabled if the salesman is linked to neither an employee nor a vendor, or a live run already exists for that period (void it first).
- A plan needs at least one tier with a rate above zero, and its tiers must match the basis you chose.
