Adding Commission rules that can be associated with agents can be done using the same logic as adding in the system. The rules revolve around these criteria/fields when it comes to paying your agents' commissions:
Course Provider - if their commission is dependent on each Campus Provider
Course Id - if the Course is a factor in how much they are paid
Course Level - if the Course Level is affecting their payment
Fee Type - based on Standard or International Fee Type
Commission Percentage - how much is the Agent receiving if all the other criteria are true. If the Commission Rule is just based on this field, just specify the percentage amount here, e.g. 20.0 if 20%
Commission Bonus Percentage - can be used to track bonuses or any additional payment or commission to be paid to agents given certain conditions are met
Commission Bonus Threshold - can also be used if the commission bonus threshold is specified by your business or institution
Date From AND Date To - when the commission rule applies to the agent
Country - if you have Agents that are to be paid differently for a specific Country
School - if Agents have a specific School that drives them to receive a specific commission percentage. NOTE that this field is a code item where you can add the names of the related schools to agents. The Code Type Id to search and edit is SCHOOL , see
Status - set this to Immutable if it's a fixed rule that applies to selected agents
