System Location: Settings > Tables > Salesmen
Salesmen Codes, or Sales IDs, provide the means to store contact and commission related information for your business' sales representatives that can be used to calculate commissions earned from sales transactions.
It is suggested to create a "House Account" for filtering and printing purposes if a specific sales person is not associated with some or all sales transactions.
