Step 1 - Add Carriers and Comp Plans

To calculate commissions for a policy, a Carrier and Comp Plan must be added and linked to a policy.  A Comp Plan describes how a commission for a policy is calculated and how long it is paid. Since comp plans are linked to one or more carriers, you will need to add your carriers first, then your comp plans. This is an important step because commission calculations from the comp plans are used in all reports.
