Learn how to deduct the cost of a zero-priced product from an employee's salary

When setting up the rules for calculating salaries (commissions) in RemOnline, there is an additional event setting — an "Take into account cost price of products written off for the zero price" checkbox. This checkbox is available in the following events: to the Specialist / Manager / Lead Manager for a labor or service in the work order.

The calculation is based on the following formula: the cost of the products is subtracted from the amount or profit from the service/labor. And the employee is paid a specified percentage of the amount received.

Remember that the profit from a service/labor is calculated as the service's amount minus the service's cost price.

E.g., Let’s consider the following case: the "To specialist for the labor or service in order" rule with the amount of 10% is configured in the employee profile, and the "Take into account cost price of products written off for the zero price" checkbox is enabled.

In the work order, an employee performed a labor with a price of 300 and a cost price of 50 and added a spare part with a zero price but a cost price of 100.

The total amount of labor (300) minus the cost price of the part (100) = 200.

10% of 200 = 20

As another example, let’s use the same rule but make the calculation not from the amount but from the profit of labor:

The total amount of labor (300), subtract the cost price of labor (50) and subtract the cost price of the part (100) = 150.

10% of 150 = 15.

Note that you can set a negative number for the profit value when setting up a rule with a profit calculation. This can be useful if your company performs warranty work orders free of charge for the client and you want to deduct the spare part's cost from the technician's salary.
