commission chargeback
A commission chargeback is a void that writes a reversal of the paid amount times negative one, while the original row stays, and that ledger lives on the sales commission structure guide. Knockdesk is field sales software that does not invent a rate when it reverses.
Book a Walkthrough| Example | Math you can recompute | What the ledger does |
|---|---|---|
| Paid example | $120 | Original row stays |
| Void of that example | 120 × -1 | Writes -$120 |
| Net after one void | 120 + (-120) | $0. Two rows remain |
| Three paid, one voided | (3 × 120) + (120 × -1) | $360 + (-$120) = $240. Four rows |
| Dispute of the example | $120 unchanged | Hold only. No reversal |

The hold
A sales commission clawback is the same void: the product writes a reversal, and the original row stays. A chargeback in sales commission is not a new rate. It is the paid amount flipped. You feel it when someone deletes the paid line to make Friday look clean, and then nobody can prove what was owed.
Sets the deal to under dispute and leaves the ledger as it is. Needs a reason. A voided sale cannot be disputed.
Stores a reason. When a commission row exists, it writes that amount times negative one. It cannot run twice.
If no commission row was written, there is nothing to reverse. The product never invents a rate.
The misses
The expensive miss is treating dispute as the reversal. Dispute is a hold. Void is the write that flips the amount. Deleting the original row is how you lose the audit. Typing a new percent over the paid line is how you invent a rate.
| Mistake | What you think you got | What the ledger holds |
|---|---|---|
| Delete the paid row | A clean sheet | No proof of the original $120 |
| Treat dispute as a clawback | A reversal | The $120 is unchanged |
| Void twice | A double fix | A sale already voided cannot be voided again |
| Type a new percent | A fairer payout | A rate nobody saved |
| Void with no reason | A faster Friday | The product stores a reason on the void |

FAQ
A commission chargeback is a void that writes a reversal of the paid amount times negative one. The original row stays. Example: $120 becomes -$120. That $120 is an example, not a product rate.
A sales commission clawback is the same void. The product writes a reversal. It does not invent a new rate, and it does not delete the paid line.
A chargeback in sales commission is the reversal, not the hold. Dispute leaves the $120 example unchanged and keeps the sale out of totals until you confirm again or void it.
Three example sales at $120 is 3 times 120, which is $360. One void is 120 times negative one, which is -$120. $360 plus -$120 is $240. The ledger keeps four rows: three originals and one reversal.
No. A sale already voided cannot be voided again. A voided sale cannot be disputed. Resolve a dispute by confirming again or by voiding it once.
