Adding Rep/Vendor Sales commission

Hi, im new to quickbooks and im trying to add Rep/Vendor Sales commission after removing PayPal fees when depositing funds. This way I could pay a sales rep a percentage on net sales. I would also like that vendor/sales rep to show up on customer report as an expense.

 

Is there any way to do this?

 

Right now I'm creating invoices > Recording Payment to Undeposited Funds> recording deposits to checking and creating a line for PayPal fees 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated and thank you for your time.

Welcome to Community, lelgavi.

 

I'm here to make sure you'll be able to track sales commission using the REP function in QuickBooks Desktop. 

 

To track your sales agent's commission, you can create or add a Sales rep in QBDT. Then, ensure sure the sales rep is assigned to your invoice.

 

Here's how:

 

Here's how:

  1. Go to the List menu and select Customer and Vendor Profile Lists.
  2. Choose Sales Rep List.
  3. Click the Sales Rep drop-down menu and select New.
  4. Choose a name from the Sales Rep Name drop-down list.
  5. Click OK.

After that, go to the invoice page and select Rep from the drop-down selection. Then assign the invoice to a specific sales rep.

 

If in case your invoice doesn't have a Rep Field, you have the option to add it by going to the List menu. 

 

  1. Select Templates from the Lists menu.
  2.  Click Edit Template
  3. Select Additional Customization and place a checkmark in the box beside REP
  4. Click OK twice to add the Rep field to your invoice.

Thank you for the answer. however, that wasn't quite what I need. 

I give my salesperson a percentage for the net amount made from a certain customer. 

When that customer pays via Paypal I need to pay a PayPal fee.  

So when the customer pays an invoice for $100.00 it is received to undeposited funds, then when it gets recorded for a deposit I add a line for Paypal fees. thus my checking gets the correct amount after the fee was subtracted.  (example Total Invoice $100, minus Paypal Fee = $97 ) 

My question is how do I pay my salesperson/vendor a percentage of the $97 (net amount) and still attribute this to the customer as an expense of some sort, so I could see it later in the customer's report and know the profit made from that customer. 

Thank you 

PS. I know there is a way to input the sales rep through the invoice but this method will give the sales rep a percentage of the gross
