Deduction types catalog
The org-wide list of deduction types (Affiliate, Software Fee, etc.) — rename, merge duplicates, or delete unused ones so naming stays consistent everywhere.
Your organization keeps one shared catalog of deduction types — Affiliate, Software Fee, Partner, and so on — reused across every data source. This keeps naming consistent: "Affiliate" means the same thing everywhere, rather than a dozen near-duplicates.
Where
Go to Settings → Formula → Deduction Types (available when commission tiers are enabled). Each type shows its name, a badge for its nature (Paid to agent · % or Cost · $), and how many data sources use it.
Rename a type
Click Rename, edit the name, and Save. The new name updates everywhere that type is used — sources, assignments, and reports.
Merge duplicates
If two types mean the same thing (e.g. "Affiliate" and "Affiliate Commission"), click Merge on one and pick the other as the target. Every data source using the merged type switches to the target, and the duplicate is removed. Types must be the same kind to merge (you can't merge a cost into a payee type).
Delete a type
A type can be deleted only if no data source uses it. Remove it from any revenue flows first, then delete.
How types relate to a deduction's identity
A deduction's identity — its name, whether it's % or $, and whether it's paid to an agent or a cost — comes from its catalog type. That's why, when you add a deduction on a data source, choosing an existing type locks those fields (you can still set the base, default value, and which income types it applies to). Manage the identity here, in the catalog; manage how it's applied on each data source's revenue flow.
