| · | a base rate.
|
| · | a secondary rate (charged on items sold for more than a specified amount).
|
| · | a tertiary rate (charged on items sold for more than a second specified amount).
|
| Each rate can be set from 0.0 to 99.9 inclusive. The values are interpreted by the program as percentages (i.e., enter 10% as 10.0 NOT 0.10).
|
|
|
| The values entered here are used by the reporting routines to compute the mall commission and the amount due the dealer (net-net amount) for each item sold.
|
|
|
| For example, one could set:
|
|
|
| · | A base rate of 11%
|
| · | A rate of 9.5% for items that sell for $1,000 or more
|
| · | A rate of 7.5% for items that sell for $5,000 or more
|
|
|
 The rate is stored with each sales record so if /when the rate is changed, previous sales will have the correct rate.
|
|
|
| The commission is computed on the net amount of each item sold (i.e., selling price * quantity - discount).
