The genealogy structure type selected is what the compensation type calculation will be based.

Note: You can only calculate a single type of commissions on a genealogy structure. For instance, Fast Start Bonus can not be calculated on the Uni-Level and Forced Matrix.

Class Level Commission Instruction
The option here explains how commission is distributed based on Class, either to use the Class of the downline or use the sponsor Class to use for compensation calculation.

The settings on this Class control how compensation is handled for the members on this Class that is getting compensated, see examples below.

Example;
Assuming that we have three Classes and members;
Classes:

1. Bronze in Position 1
2. Silver in Position 2
3. Gold in position 3
4. Diamond in position 3

As I mentioned above, here is one of the place the position raking matters.

Members;

1. Eniola in (Gold)
2. Joe in (Bronze)
3. Jane in (Silver)
4. Lola in (Diamond)

Joe is the sponsor of Eniola
Jane is the sponsor of Joe
Lola is the sponsor of Jane

We are going to be using the Membership Commission for this example.

Class Level Commission Instruction

1. Bronze (Use Class Membership Commission Structure): Yes
2. Silver (Use Class Membership Commission Structure): No
3. Gold (Use Class Membership Commission Structure): Yes
4. Diamond (Use Class Membership Commission Structure): Yes

When Eniola pays her membership fee of ($20);

1. Joe will get Level 1 commission defined on his Bronze Class, because his Class states to pay commission based on his own Class commission structure.
2. Jane will get Level 2 commission defined on Silver Class, although her Class states to pay commission based on the downline commission structure which is Gold Class, but Gold is a higher ranking Class than Silver, so the commission payout will default back to Jane Class which is Silver.
3. Lola will get Level 3 commission defined on her Diamond Class, because her Class states to pay commission based on her own Class commission structure.

In essence, if "No" is setup on a commission instruction option, and the member you are getting commission on has a higher Class position then yours, you will not be paid based on that higher Class, you will be paid on your own Class which is lower in position to the Class you're supposed to be paid on, but if your Class is higher and the instruction is set to "No", you will be paid on the downline lower Class commission structure.
