How do commission approvals work?
Commission approval is the review step between a calculated result and an amount the business is ready to count or hand to payroll.

Calculated is not approved
A calculation can be correct under incomplete inputs and still need a decision. Approval gives the business a visible boundary: pending work can change; approved work is ready for the next controlled step.
What should reviewers check?
- Eligibility, rep, role, period, and plan version
- Deal evidence, rate, split, and quota context
- Adjustments, draw recovery, or clawback reason
- Any open dispute and the decision owner
After approval
Approved results appear in statements and can be included in a frozen payroll export. If a later correction is required, add an adjustment tied to the original result rather than silently editing history.
