Commissions and bonuses are rarely a static size. Agreements are changed, customers disappear and data is corrected. When reality does not match the original calculations, the need arises for Correction; a post-regulation in which commission is adjusted back in time to match the actual data.
Correction covers the process by which a company corrects previously paid commissions. In English you can call it post-regulation. This typically happens if a customer cancels an agreement, if the contract value is reduced, or if a CRM system is only later updated with correct numbers.
Where bonuses are often a one-time payment, commissions are ongoing and subject to change along the way. This makes correction a necessary tool to maintain the balance between expectations, payouts and the real income of the company.
Previously, correction was handled in heavy Excel sheets, where managers and controllers reviewed contracts manually. This method was time consuming and often associated with errors. Today, systems such as Prowi automate the process. If a deal is reduced in value or terminated, the numbers are automatically adjusted in real time. The employee can see his updated commission base directly in the app, and management can trust that the reporting is correct.
