Yes. Each client holds its own rate cards for the seller side, the buyer side or either side, optionally for one commodity. A card can combine a percentage of deal value, an amount per metric ton and a flat fee per deal, with a minimum per deal.

For each side, the system takes that client’s cards that are not in Draft, are valid on the deal date and apply to that side. A card for the deal’s commodity comes before the client-wide card, Active before Expired, then the latest start date. The line shows which kind of card it used.

Enter the new terms as a new rate card with its own start date and put an end date on the old card. Deals keep the card that priced them, so earlier commission does not change.

Lines not yet paid are waived. If the deal comes back, its waived lines return to unbilled.
