Hi Ygk, The first part of your posting is straight-forward OFBiz functionality.
As far as I can tell, your second part has no order and inventory transactions. And thus no invoices to and payments from the customers. You'll probably receive a statement from your supplier stating the total amount of the commission, and if more details are provided an overview listing per line item: - the customer name - the order amount - the commission amount. The basic way to process such is through accounting, by registering the statement as a Credit Invoice from the supplier party. If the 'customer' details are provided, you could consider registering them as parties and include them in your marketing and promotion activities.
