Description.  Ability to merge profiles that have outstanding commissions in a single property or in different properties in a multi-property environment.

Internal Name. PROFILE_MERGE_COMM

Property Determination. The profiles being merged must meet specific criteria to carry out the merge. See Merge Profiles.

When the Profiles > Allow Profile Merge with Commissions application parameter is set to Y, merging profiles that have commissions in a single property or in different properties in a multi-property environment is possible. For the merge to complete, one or both of the profiles must meet certain criteria.

Profiles that have Negotiated Rates with Commission Codes

Merging from Profile 2 to Profile 1 - The merging of Profile 2 to Profile 1 will execute if:

• Both profiles have the same rate code attached to the same commission code. If the commission code on a negotiated rate code has not been defined for one profile, then the default commission code set by the Commission>Default Commission application setting will be used.

Profiles with Commission Bank Accounts and Commission Codes

Merging from Profile 2 to Profile 1 - The merging of Profile 2 to Profile 1 will execute if:

• The profiles have the same commission bank account and commission code. If the "merge to" profile (Profile 1) does not have a commission bank account assigned, then the "merge to" profile (Profile 1) inherits the "merge from" profile (Profile 2) commission bank account.
