Adjust Final Invoice checkbox, if checked does the following.

● On the final invoice, the system will look to see how much has been paid to the Sales Rep. If the total to be paid is less than the amount already paid the final commission payment is adjusted.

Example: First invoice for an order, sales rep is paid $5. Adjustments are made which reduces the total commission that should have been paid on the first invoice by $1. The final invoice calculates an additional $6 of commission. However, the total commission for the order is only $10. The final commission due calculation displays as $5 instead of $6 to account for the $1 overpayment from the first invoice.

● If Total Order GP is used for the calculation basis (in the commission control record) then the final invoice will calculate the order GP and make all adjustments based on previous commissions. Order GP is constantly changing as invoices/commissions are being done. The checkbox handles those situations.
