This is a feature with the ability to delete/reverse posted commissions which were accidentally posted with wrong commission group, amount, rate, etc. User can reverse the commissions through this screen and start over with recalculation of commissions and re-posting it. 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.
