Commissions reports
Reports give you insight to help make decisions by presenting you the data you need. To help your agency, there are predefined reports to help you understand projected commissions and the accuracy of your actual vs. expected commissions.
Projected commissions on a policy
On a day to day basis, as you are working on policies, you may only need to see data on a specific policy. On the commissions tab on a policy, you can see a summary of your actual and projected commissions.
Payment History
To summarize your recent commission activity, you'll see commission details at the top of payment history on a policy. Find below details for how these details are calculated.
