If there are consumators agents in the restaurant, the “Consumators Agents" directory is filled in advance or supplemented during the work process.
In order for the directory to be available, the "Consummation Incentive System" parameter must be activated.
The directory contains a list of the enterprise's commission agents.
In the left area of the window there is a tree of commission agent types.
The Properties page contains groups:
Main
Code – a unique code of the directory element in the system. It is assigned automatically, but can be changed manually;
Name – the name of the directory element;
Alt. Name – the name of the element in an alternative language;
Status – the status of the directory element;
Restrictions
Object Privilege – an access right that an employee needs to be able to edit an object on the manager station.
Visual Type
Background color — the color of the button. You can select a color from the list or from the palette, which is called by double-clicking the left mouse button in the property value area;

Image — selecting an image for the object;
Text color — the color of the text. You can select a color from the list or from the palette, which is called by double-clicking the left mouse button in the property value area.
Selectors – a group, which lists non-preset selectors of the Receipt type: Main selector (if they are created by users). In these properties, for the described commission agent type, you can create a graphical model of the selector page. Adding to the directory is done in the standard way.

Rules for calculating consummation
The commission value is defined in the manager application. The commission value can be a fixed amount or calculated as a percentage of the commission base (bonus)—depending on the flag in the price type property Consummation - Percent.
Commission base (bonus) is the value from which the commission percentage is taken. Depending on the configuration of the corresponding flags (properties of the calculation rules for Pure Price and Discounts/Markups), the commission base represents either "the price of a dish without modifiers," "the price of a dish with modifiers," or "the price of a dish with modifiers and considering discounts/markups.". The result of calculating the percentage of the commission base (consummation) gives the commission amount.
The rule for calculating the commission value (bonus) can be a formula or specified directly by the value—in the property of the calculation rule with the same name.
If the mode with Use Calculation Rules is used, the commission value is calculated based on the calculation rules in the Price Types directory on the Consumation page.
If the mode without Use Calculation Rules is used, the commission (bonus) value is entered in the Consumation (Consumation (%)) of the corresponding price type in the Menu directory.
The amount of payment to the agesnt(s) is calculated based on the value (price) of the commission at the cash register—depending on the number of servings of the menu item and the number of commission agents.
Agents are added manually to the order for each menu item (for which commission is accrued) at the cash register.
Example of setting up and assigning consummation
Agents are required to charge a fixed amount for a certain category of menu items, and a percentage for another category.
For example, for the sale of any dessert, the agent is assigned a fixed amount equal to 500 rubles. For side dishes, agents are assigned a percentage—50% of the cost of the dish.
Follow these steps:
In the “Menu Classifications” directory, create the “Consummation” classification and the categories “Percent” (for menu items with percentage commission) and “Fixed” (for menu items with fixed commission).
In accordance with the task, add the required category to the dishes: for the "Desserts" menu item group, specify the "Fixed" category, for the "Pasta" menu item group - "Percentage".
In the "Price Types" directory, create a new price type - "Consummation". Check the box next to the "Percent in Consummation" property.
For the "Main" price type, uncheck the "Percent in Consummation" flag.
Select the price type "Main". Add the following calculation rules - "Fixed" and "Percent". Select the category of the same name when creating.
Open the formula editor for the fixed calculation rule and write the following script: Price:= 500.
Script for the formula: Price := xxx – here the fixed price is written. If you need many menu items and many different fixed commissions, you need to make another type of price and make the formula like this: Price := ConsumX (Price := CommisX), where X is the code of the price type: Consummation.
In this case, you can use the "Constant" value as the calculation rule and simply specify the required amount in the "Value" field.
Open the formula editor for the calculation type "Percent" and write the following script Price:= Price1*Consum3/100.
In this case, you can use the calculation rule "Manual editing". In this case, you will need to manually set the value for each menu item.
For the "Pizza" group of menu items, enter the required commission percentage (in this case 50%, price type Commission).
For the group of menu items "Desserts" the commission equal to 500 was automatically entered (the formula in the "Types of prices" directory worked).
In the "Consumators Agents" directory, assign a commission percentage for each consumer.
At the Cash Register, create an order and assign consumators agents to each menu item in the category. To do this, select the menu item and select the "Consumators Agents" operation (Add. - Consumators Agents). Pay for the order.
Go to View Reports, then Special Reports – Print Consummation Details to view the accrued commission.
Calculation of Commission. The amount is calculated based on the value specified in the menu item properties in the Menu directory. Then the commission value is calculated from this amount—the value specified in the commission agent properties in the "Consumators Agents" directory is taken for the calculation. For example, Waiter 2 receives a commission fee of 30% of the commission amount. The commission amount is equal to 50% of the cost of the "Steamed Vegetables" dish.
Several commission agents can be added to each menu item. In this case, the price of the menu item will be divided by the number of agents and the employee's commission reward will be calculated from this part.
For example, a Chocolate Cake costs 200 rubles. The commission amount is 100 rubles (since the menu item properties indicate that the commission is 50%). There are 3 commission agents assigned to this menu item in the order. To calculate the commission fee, Waiter Ivanov V. will be charged a third of the cost of the menu item (200/3=66.66).
The commission amount is 66.66*0.5 = 33.33. Since the commission for Waiter Ivanov V. is 100% (this is indicated in the properties of the commission agent in the Consumators Agents directory), then he will receive this amount, equal to 33.33.
