Looking at the results for Salesperson #1, you can see that the balancing rule has caught a significant error. This individual earned negative commissions. Perhaps this is a new salesperson who has had no sales, but only returns. For whatever reason, this salesperson's commissions were -$5,115. The amount specified to the payroll department should probably have been 0. Instead, the amount specified was $5,115! Fortunately, you caught this mistake in time.
