you want to calculate commission at the end of the day.and insert into other table.that should be done through trigger(complex date checking).

Perhaps a button to pop-up a new canvas for adding the bonus and bonus reason, then an 'OK' button to accept tha change and a 'Cancel' button to return without making a change.

Display both the commission and bonus on the main screen but as display fields, not text fields. [Alternatively, so that all the fields have the same visuals, use text fields but will update, insert, and delete properties set to false.]

yes you can do that with triggers.as in triggers you will access the value of bonus as :new.bonus and calculate commission accordingly.

If you want to run the job daily then you could use DBMS_JOB to invoke a stored package/procedure that is doing the work for you.

This saves having to remember to push a button each day.
