What is MSP commission software?
MSP commission software calculates what each salesperson earns from the opportunities they win, using the plan the business set for them. Current's Commissions reads those opportunities from the CRM on your PSA, so every statement line points at the record that earned it.
What makes commission something reps can trust
Every number on a statement comes from a record, and the record can change without anyone redoing the math by hand. Unless a card says otherwise, everything here is live today.
It works itself out again
When an opportunity, a quote or a plan changes, Current works out commission again within about a minute, for unapproved statements in this month and the 6 before it.
Pay on margin and contract value, not only MRR
Nine kinds of plan component, plus spiffs, including margin percent, total contract value percent, renewal and term rates and goal bonuses.
Lines follow their opportunity
Re-price, re-own, re-date or delete an opportunity and its lines are rebuilt on every statement that is not approved yet.
Machine-closed opportunities never pay
An opportunity a sync or an import closed earns nothing, and a line is removed if a machine closes its opportunity later.
Reps sign off on their own statement
Tick each line, add a note and submit. Reps with lines waiting get a reminder in the last 4 days of the month.
No leader approves their own pay
Approval waits until the month has ended, and a sales leader cannot change the money on their own statement.

Leadership can see today's pay beside what pay by quote line would be, on draft rates. It is a preview only and changes nobody's pay.

Commission plans that say when a line is earned
A plan sets what each kind of opportunity pays and the moment it counts as earned: when the quote is won, when the work kicks off, or when the customer is billed.
Plans can pay differently for a new logo, an expansion or a renewal, by contract length, with accelerators above quota. A plan can pay on the monthly recurring revenue (MRR) an opportunity adds, such as one month of new MRR or a rate on the net-new MRR of an expansion, or on margin, one-time revenue or the total contract value. Start from a template or build your own in four steps.
Monthly statements each rep reviews and submits
Every rep has one My statements page: this month's lines to tick and submit, with an optional note, and every past statement below it.
The statement keeps itself current: when an opportunity is re-priced, re-owned or re-dated, its lines are rebuilt before the statement is approved. Near the end of the month Current reminds a rep who still has a statement to submit, and each line opens the record and the evidence behind it.

Leadership approves or returns each statement
Sales leadership sees every submitted statement and approves it or returns it to the rep with a reason, and the rep is told either way.
Only opportunities a person closed earn commission. One that a sync from outside Current marked as won does not count, so a data import can never pay out. A statement can be approved only once its month has ended, and a sales leader cannot change the money on their own.

The questions MSPs ask first.
Who can see commissions in Current?+−
Tenant admins, sales managers and account executives. A rep sees their own statements; sales leadership sees the team. Other roles do not see commissions, even with full CRM access.
When does a commission line count as earned?+−
Each plan chooses one of three moments: when the quote is won, when the work is kicked off to a project or a post-sale ticket, or when the customer is billed. Kickoff is the default.
Can an imported or synced opportunity pay commission?+−
No. Only an opportunity a person closed earns commission. One that a sync marked as won from outside Current does not count, so importing old records never creates a payout.
Do reps sign off on their statements?+−
Yes. Each month a rep ticks every line on My statements, can add a note, and submits it. Sales leadership then approves the statement or returns it, and the rep is told.
What happens when an opportunity changes after its line was made?+−
Current works the commission out again within about a minute. On a statement that is not approved yet, a line whose opportunity was re-priced, re-owned, re-dated out of the month or deleted is removed and rebuilt for what is owed. An approved statement is never changed; a manager note records the difference instead.
Can a plan pay on margin instead of MRR?+−
Yes. A plan is built from nine kinds of component: one month of MRR, net-new MRR, one-time percent, margin percent, total contract value percent, renewal rate, term rate, accelerators and goal bonuses. Spiffs are set up beside the plan.
Can commission be paid by quote line?+−
Not yet. Sales leadership can open a preview that puts today's pay beside what pay by quote line would be, on draft rates saved nowhere. The preview changes nobody's pay.
Does Current pay the commission?+−
No. Current works out and records what each rep earned and who approved it. You pay it through payroll as you do today, using the statement's PDF or CSV.
