Data Source
Page 3367 is the primary source of data.
From the dashboard, view the management information or Reports dashboard and see the "New Contract Finance" topic.   Eliza has been taught that the default rates are 10, 1, 0 and 10, however where the introducer name is not provided, then the introducer rate is zero.   Eliza has been taught that the default sales, broker and administrator key are: 100112 (JH), 100119 (GF) and 100194 (AB).

Default Data
Where the finance team fail to enter commission rates, then the default commission rates will be automatically propogated.

Cient Data
Client data is dynamic and will change from year to year.   Commission percentages may be entered by the finance team and these percentages shall be replicated at the service, contract, schedule and payment level.   Commission is only paid from the data entered at the payment level.   Commission due is forcast from the data entered at the schedule level.
Client commission percentages may change during the life of a current contract to reflect the arrangement for the next contract.

Procedure
The finance team must enter the commission percentages for sales, broker and introducer as appropriate.   No data exists to state where the finance team may find this information and no rules have been provided so the data can be automatically created and verified.   Commission percentage is private information held by the finance team and not shared with other people in the business.   When a commission percentage is changed in any way, the reason, justification and purpose of the change is not audited in any way.
While fraud prevention is built into most parts of the application, this commission data is treated as private and may be changed after-the-fact.

F2 Commission Percentages:
Finance Task Management can begin as part of the handover from Sales Task Management.   The handover is triggered by the sales state switching from Prospect to Client (Account Management).   This triggers the finance state to switch from "Prepare" to "Commission Percentages".
A default set of commission percentages are assigned and only when needed can these values be changed by a finance person.   While this data is entered once at the client level, it will be replicated into any proposed contracts that are created when energy provider rates are uploaded.

Contract Data
When a contract goes live the finance team are responsible to enter or verify that the percentage commission rates are complete and correct.   Contract commission percentages are replicated to all dependent schedule and payment data.   Once the current contract goes live then the commission rates shown at the client level may change to reflect the next contract arrangement.   Payment made for a specific contract use the commission percentages for that contract and not the client level rates.
