Blackout Periods Overview

When you set a blackout period, Advisors Assistant does no calculation for any commission that would otherwise be due during that period.  This includes Trailer Commissions.  The entire coverage is completely skipped.

 

Normally, there will only be one blackout period per year. Often future year's schedules are not known, so it may become necessary to update the blackout periods annually at the beginning of the payroll year.
