Linear (Target Factor) Commission Defect w/ Quota?
We had a Netsuite rep tell us that there's a defect with trying to setup a commission schedule based on quota w/ the following settings:
Commission on: Quota (Sales Amount)
per: Quarterly (fiscal year)
Categorized by: blank
Eligible Amount: Billings
Calculation Scale: Linear
Rate: Target Factor
Target Amount: $1000
If % of Quota Met 0 ==> then Commission Total = 0.0
If % of Quota Met 80 ==> then Commission Total = 0.8
If % of Quota Met 100 ==> then Commission Total = 1.0
If % of Quota Met 120 ==> then Commission Total = 1.2
If % of Quota Met 150 ==> then Commission Total = 1.5
If we assume that sales quota for this quarter is $100K, and the sales amount is $119K. The quota calculated should be $1000 (i.e. 1.0 * $1000). However, the quota amount that Netsuite is calculating is $1190 (i.e. 1.19 * $1000).
