Does ServiceNow Lead management support sales agent commission or incentive calculation

[ankur203097]

Hi,

We have a requirement to calculate the commission or incentive the sales agent would get once a lead gets closed. I do not think this is supported out of the box by SOMT lead management. Request you to please let me know how this can be implemented and integrated with the lead management workflow

Hello hope that can help, following the recommended Implementation Approaches

1: Custom Commission Management Module (Best Practice)Build a custom application integrated with SOMT Lead Management:Key Components:
Commission Rules Table

Define commission structures (percentage-based, flat rate, tiered)
Configure rules by product type, deal size, lead source, or agent tier
Support multiple rule types (standard, accelerator, bonus)

Commission Calculation Engine

Use Business Rules or Script Includes to calculate commissions
Trigger automatically when lead status changes to "Closed Won"
Support complex calculations (splits, overrides, clawbacks)

Commission Records Table

Store individual commission entries linked to closed leads
Track status: Pending → Approved → Paid
Maintain audit trail for compliance
