commission reconciliation

Match the file to the confirmation moment

Commission reconciliation is matching a vendor file to won deals by CRM email and address, then paying the rate that was live at confirmation, as the sales commission structure guide sets out. Knockdesk is field sales software that reads a CSV or Excel upload and never invents a rate.

  1. 1Save the vendor rate and the default organization rate before the file lands. A missing rate stays empty.
  2. 2Upload the CSV or Excel file. Only the first sheet is processed. This is a file in, not a live sync.
  3. 3Map the rep column to the CRM email, exact. Names are not matched. Map status, then either the full address line or street, city, state, and ZIP.
  4. 4Pick the status that means a confirmed sale, select the vendor, and process against won deals.
  5. 5Read confirmed, review queued, unmatched, error, and duplicate. How to reconcile commissions on a rebuilt Friday column is how you invent a rate.

The columns

The file only pays what you already saved

You feel it when the vendor workbook and the desk disagree on Friday. How to reconcile commissions is not a paste into a new column. The rep column must be the CRM email. An email match adds 40. An exact address adds 50. 40 plus 50 is 90, which meets the default auto-confirm threshold of 80. 40 plus 25 is 65, which waits in review.

  • The email

    Map Rep email to the user's CRM email, exact. A display name will not assign the row.

  • The address

    Map the full address line, or street, city, state, and ZIP. Do not map both styles.

  • The threshold

    It defaults to 80 and can be 0 to 100. A match below it goes to the review queue and is not confirmed.

The misses

Mistakes that miss the file

The expensive miss is rebuilding Friday in a third sheet so the dollars match by force. If no won deal qualifies, a won deal can be created only when an active closed-won outcome stage exists. If it cannot, the row errors and no commission is written. A missing rate stays empty.

Sample mistakes. The $120 is an example, not a customer payout.

Doing it in Knockdesk

Upload the file. Leave a blank empty.

On Knockdesk an admin opens Reconciliation, enables CSV upload, and processes a.csv,.xls, or.xlsx file up to 10MB. There is no live sync. The sample deal, Oak Ave install at $4,200, won and pending review, is a fixture, not a customer payout. Full desk is on the pricing page. A free trial is not open.
