Split Partner Commission
If you use both the Partner Commissions/Royalties and Multi-Partner Management features, you can split the commission from a transaction between all the partners involved.
A partner's contribution percentage shows how much of the commission they earn from a transaction. For example, according to a partner's commission plan, the partner earns 10% of a transaction total. The total for the transaction is $10,000. The partner splits the commission evenly with another partner on the deal. Their contribution percentage is 50%. Each partner earns $500 on the deal ($10,000 x 10% x 50%).
NetSuite determines the commission generated by a transaction independently by each partner's commission plan. After the commission amount is determined, NetSuite applies the contribution percentage to determine the portion of the commission earned by the partner.
In the example above, the commission generated for the partner is 10% of $10,000. Their contribution percentage entitled them to 50% of what they would have earned had they been the only rep on the transaction. The other partner's commission plan indicates that they would earn 15% of the transaction total. Because their contribution percentage is 50%, they earn $750 on the same deal ($10,000 x 15% x 50%).
