Generally, commissions are awarded to just one sales person on the invoice.  There will be times when the commission needs to be assigned to a second sales person in whole or in part.

TIP:  If you know in advance that sales commissions will be split, you can make assignments BEFORE the invoice is completed, thereby eliminating these steps. Details
