An account group is a group of accounts to which you can apply a specific commission rule. Rules applied to the account group affect all the accounts in the group making account groups an easy way to manage a large number of accounts.
Examples of when to use an account group: base transfer, apply legacy rate to a group of accounts, rate that is different from the pay plan, apply different rate for deals that were landed with or without your support.
*Account groups are not tied to agents rather they apply a rule to an account no matter who it belongs to.
Top menu >> Commissions >> Account groups >> Pick supplier >> +Add an account group
Enter the name of the account group.
For most, you can choose something generic like ’65% without support’ or 'ICB 50%’. Account groups are account based, this means that you can assign accounts to an account group regardless of what agent it is tied to if the sales rate you would like to apply the same.
Edit Rules is where you setup the sales rate % of the group.
