Commissions > How often does the system recalculate commissions? Is it on a new order? Or on a schedule? Does it recalculate only the open period or any un-locked period?

I got this from a client, and it's a common question.

Here's the answer:

For commissions, the system recalculates whenever there is a "commissionable event" (sale, sign-up, refund).

So, when an associate creates an order, they are put on the "stats queue". Then, any person impacted by that order is recalculated. Usually this takes 2 minutes for the average company (it changes some based on distributor count and comp plan complexity).

So, the updates are nearly real-time. The same is true for "projected commissions". If you look at the guts of the system, it's actually running independent stats jobs for current and future period stats.

It uses the comp plan to calculate stats. You can see the settings in the "Commission" section of Advanced Settings for a little more info on it.
