How do you replace commission spreadsheets?
Replacing a commission spreadsheet means moving the shared source of truth into a workflow with clear ownership, status, and history.

Know what the spreadsheet does today
Inventory formulas, inputs, manual overrides, approvals, exports, and the people who maintain each tab. Treat the workbook as evidence of the process—not as a specification to copy blindly.
Move the workflow in stages
- Define rates, roles, quotas, tiers, draws, and clawback treatment
- Clean deal fields, rep identifiers, dates, and approval states
- Run a parallel historical check and explain every difference
- Make pending versus approved work visible
- Freeze the reviewed statement and reconcile the export
What not to copy
Do not preserve undocumented overrides, duplicated employee names, or a formula whose owner is unknown. Replace them with explicit plan rules, validation, and an audit trail.
