What is SAP Commissions?
SAP Commissions solution is a comprehensive sales performance management tool designed to help users create better compensation incentive management plans, pay sales reps more accurately for their contributions, and simplify the entire compensation process for all employees.

The SAP Commissions Callidus Cloud platform simplifies this by providing dynamic data models and other reporting capabilities to track compensation elements more accurately and manage complex commission processing operations more efficiently across the board.
