On some companies a party is assigned to a commission agent. Assigning an agent to a party means that by default the sales generated for this party generate a commission to the agent.
It will be great if the commission module allows to define the agent used for each sale.

What we manage here is the fact that some companies assign a party to an agent which is responisble for contacting the party and asking if he needs something for the company. I think this is quite common on some companies.
This is not a commission for life as the default agent can be changed after some time.

For me, it is not the right setup. Here the commission is about the user
(or employee) who manages the sale order.

So what for is this party commissioned for if he does not manage the
sale order?

The party is commissioned because it has referred the customer to the company. We've found two diferent cases here:
1. A bussiness association refers the party to the company and it gets a commission for all the sales that generate this party.
2. When working with neighboring communities (which is the final customer) normmally there is a company that is responisble of the maintenance of all the properties of the community and this company gets a commission for all the sales related to the neighbours assets that they manage.

I think such setup is more complex than that. They are criteria to
consider like the date or the kind of product sold etc.

That is a closed description of what we could name: trust abuse
But any way, this is again liked to more criteria.
