The Search Affiliate Commissions page displays all commissions that your affiliates has earned. This page also allows you to make bulk changes to affiliate commissions.

By default, the affiliate commissions are displayed in order of SID (System ID) in descending order (most recent commissions listed first).  You can select a different method of sorting by clicking the up and down arrows in the heading of each column.
