MBO>Incentives>Distribution Incentives

This functionality is added with the addition of the MBO Plugin. This is where the employees, customers, goals and payment plans will be set up, as well as where the completed goals will be entered and the employee’s compensation for the incentive program will be calculated. Only the MBO Distribution Goals can be added to these incentive programs.

The employees for the goals may view their progress in the program through the EoMobileCF Recap Distribution Goals option.

In order for employees to access this screen, the "MBO>Incentives>Distribution Incentive Programs" checkbox on the Plugins Panel must be checked.
