Disabling Employee Commissions
You need to disable the Employee Commissions feature before enabling SuiteBilling.

To correctly set the time range of the report, set the From field to the employee start date and the To field to the current date. For additional instructions, see Exporting a Report.
To disable the Employee Commissions feature:
-
Go to Setup > Company > Enable Features.
-
Click the Employees subtab.

In the Commissions section, clear the Employee Commissions box.
