- Restrict to SPIF items With this option selected, the default, the report will only consider SPIF items. The report header will change to Items Sold when this option is not selected.
- Include Work Orders Includes items on work orders.
- SPIF Targets (Total Profit/Margin %) You have the option of specifying profit or margin targets that must be met in order for the salesperson to become eligible for SPIF's. The targets are applied to each main inventory category. For example, if you specify a target margin, the sales by a salesperson in each main category will be compared against the target margin. If the salesperson has exceeded the target margin in a category, he will qualify for SPIF's in that main category. If the salesperson does not qualify for SPIF's in a main category, the Actual Paid column will show zero for the salesperson in that main category.
- Department Select one department or all departments.
- Item Restrict to a specific item.
- Brand Restrict to a specific brand.
- Supplier Restrict to a specific supplier.
- Categories Select all categories or a group of categories.
