Using Affiliates to track comissions

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello,
I had the idea to use the Affiliates feature to track internal comissions within our sales team. Right now our store is used to sell products online, but our sales people also sell the same exact products. For the sake of inventory and comission tracking, I'd like these orders to go through Product Cart.
Is using the affiliates option the easiest way to track comissions? Is there a better way to do this? I was thinking of creating an affiliate for each one of my sales people, and then creating some custom code that allows me to manually attach an order to an affiliate. 
Any information on this being a good solution is appreciated. If anyone else has a better solutions, please let me know. Thanks.
