Roll-Up Components

Learn how to create plan components with roll-ups

The roll-up component feature in QuotaPath allow deals to be credited to multiple users or plans, such as when a manager receives credit for their team’s sales, or leadership compensation based on multiple teams. Roll-ups allow you to tie the attainment for one user directly to the set of deals another team is already earning on. They are particularly useful for aggregating team performance under a single plan for payout calculations.

To automatically roll-up deal credit from members for manager plans, team quotas, or company goals, you can create configure components to use roll-ups.

Roles and Teams

The first step, before beginning roll-up creation, is completing the following steps:

1) Assign workspace roles - Team managers must be assigned the Manager Workspace role on the Members page to be available to choose as a manager on the Teams page. Without being assigned as a Manager to a team, the roll-up configuration will not be available on their playing components.

2) Create Teams - someone receiving roll-up credit (i.e., a manager) must have a team on the teams page with them listed as the manager. On the team's page, create a team and add all members that will need to be rolled up. If the members being rolled up are spread across multiple plans, you will need to create a team for each plan. When creating your roll-ups for the manager, you will not be able to select a the same team more than once on the same roll-up component.

3) Assign team managers - the manager receiving roll-up credit must be added as the manager of their team on the Teams page. Without a team assigned to them, you will not be able to create roll-up components for them.

Create Roll-Up Component

Roll-ups are particularly useful when contributors are indirectly associated with a sale or when aggregating team performance is necessary for payout calculations. Always review your plan structure to determine if roll-ups are the best approach.

Go to the Plans page and click ‘+Add Plan’ in the top right-hand corner. After entering the plan information, add a quota component first.

Once the quota component is set up, you will add an earnings component and click ‘Edit’.

Next, scroll down to the bottom of the component editor and click ‘Component Modifiers’. Then, use the dropdown to select a team that will roll-up to the plan assignee:

Last, choose the plan and component that contains the data to roll-up attainment credit:

if a component that you are trying to select is grayed out, it is likely for one of two reasons:

  1. That component uses multi-field earnings (the attainment field is different from the earnings field in the component configuration) and cannot be rolled up.

  2. The component you are trying to choose is under a quota that uses a different time period than the quota attached to the manager component that you are editing. E.g., your manager has an annual component, but you are trying to roll up your reps' components that have a monthly quota.

To add more teams, click '+ Add another'. If plan assignees manage different teams, or if a plan assignee manages multiple teams (or should receive credit for multiple teams), you'll need to add every team to the roll-up.

At a later step, you'll be able to specify the team members for whom each plan assignee should receive attainment credit.

When complete, click 'Save' to finish setting up the earnings component.

Tip: If there are multiple components from team members that will need to be rolled up, you'll need to create additional components and repeat the above steps.

Map Assignees to Roll-Ups

After creating all the components in the plan, click 'Manage Assignees' from the Plan Basics section to assign members to this plan. In the pop-up modal, select the members to assign to the plan:

Next, you'll map the plan assignees to the roll-up team members. You'll see every roll-up component displayed. Click '+ Add Assignee' to select a plan assignee:

From there, use the dropdown on the right side to select the team members that should roll-up to the plan assignee to provide accurate attainment credit:

Complete the above steps for each plan assignee and roll-up component. Last, enter the plan assignment dates for the plan assignees. Please note that these dates control the effective dates on the compensation plan and not the team assignment dates. Visit this article to learn how to assign team dates.

Maintenance of Roll-Up Components

If roll-ups are not functioning as expected, review the roll-up plan configuration and related settings to identify potential issues. Ensure Teams, Team and Manager Assignment dates, relevant plan details, Roll-up Contributor selections and settings are properly configured. Refer to our full Roll-up Troubleshooting Guide HERE.

What if a sales rep leaves a team to join another team?

  1. Update the end date for the rep on their old team.

  2. Assign the rep to their new team with appropriate dates.

  3. If needed, ensure the rep is rolled up to the appropriate manager in the manager component assignment.

What if a sales rep is promoted to a new comp plan but stays on the same team?

  1. Update the end date for the rep on their old plan.

  2. Assign the rep to their new plan with appropriate dates.

  3. Ensure the new plan is rolled up to the manager.

    • In the component setup, make sure the new component from the new Plan is selected.

    • Confirm the rep rolls up to the manager in the manager plans assignment

What if a new manager takes ownership of an existing team?

  1. Add a new manager on the team with appropriate assignment dates

  2. Ensure the new manager's roll-up component includes the appropriate team.

    • In the component setup, confirm the new component from the new plan is selected.

    • Make sure the team rolls up to the manager in the manager plans assignment.

What if a manager is promoted to a new plan but keeps the same team ownership?

  1. Update the end date for the manager on their old plan.

  2. Assign a manager to a new plan with appropriate dates.

  3. Recreate the rollup components in the new plan to use the same team plans and components from before. You can also duplicate the old components from the old plan into this new plan using the workspace component library that's on the left side when editing plan components.

  4. Finish the setup by confirming that the correct reps are contributors to the roll-up components.

What if a manager is moved to a new or different team (e.g., promoted to oversee a newly created or different team)?

  1. If the new team doesn't exist yet, create it on the Teams page first and add the members who should roll up to the Manager, with the correct team assignment dates.

  2. Add the manager to the new team as its manager, with the correct manager assignment dates, and end-date their assignment as manager on the old team if they're leaving it.

  3. In the manager's plan, edit each roll-up component. You will need to add the new team with their plans and components to the existing roll-up components if you are not creating net new components or a plan. The manager assignment dates on the team will control which deals flow into the rollup when you have both the new and old teams rolling up on the same components.

  4. Roll-up team selections are set per component — if the manager's plan has multiple roll-up components, each one needs to be updated individually. There is currently no bulk option to update the team across all roll-up components at once.

  5. If the new team doesn't appear as an option in the dropdown right away, exit the editor, refresh, and re-enter the component editor — newly created teams sometimes don't populate as selectable until the roll-up is reopened.

  6. Revisit Manage Assignees to confirm the roll-up contributor mapping reflects the new team's members.
