This function enables you to change the current rank of a distributor, set a minimum rank and vest the minimum rank.  Ranks are used by the inventory system for distributor pricing as well as the compensation plan.  The Current Rank will be established at the time of data entry of the distributor and defaults to the first rank.  Current Rank typically will only advance and not decline to a lower rank via the compensation plan, however a distributor typically will be paid as the rank qualified for during a particular processing.

Manually Changing Rank: From the distributor’s profile screen on the left navigation bar click Admin, click Change Rank. In the display screen Current Rank drop down select the appropriate rank, click Save.

Set Minimum Rank and Vested status to Yes if you want the distributor to automatically be qualified regardless of meeting compensation plan requirements.

NOTE: Depending on the implementation of your compensation plan, the Minimum Rank settings of this function may not be relevant or utilized during processing.

If the settings are relevant and recognized in the processing, then it is very important to understand the settings and their effect on the company’s compensation plan.
