Also User can delete the completed state Invoice commissions whose GL/ employee commissions are not posted. At times, even any of the erroneous commissions posted mistakenly can be reversed through this screen.
Navigate to -> All -> Commission->Processes->Reverse Posted Commission
The posted state Invoice commissions are eligible for reversal. If even one of the attached employees has been paid the commission amount, then the commission reversal for that Invoice will not be done. If within the selected range, few Invoices have commissions that are paid, then those Invoices will be skipped from reversal. The posting date for the reversed journal entry will be the selected Reverse Date on above Filters screen; otherwise, today’s date by default.
