icon-profit.pngProfit

Here you can check the profitability of the sales order on an item by item basis. There are a number of settings (Settings, Configurations, Sales) that determine what information is displayed in the profit tab:

  • Use Ave Cost for Zero Cost Items.If there is no cost price of an item (i.e. zero cost), then you can decide how the profit should be calculated. The profit for such items may be set to zero, 100%, something inbetween or calculated, based on the item's historical average cost.
  • Profits Tab: Show Margin. Profits on items may be viewed as either Percentage Profit (profit calculated as a percentage of cost) or as Percentage Margin (profit calculated as a percentage of sale)
  • Show Profit / Margin Based on (Unit Cost / Unit Value or Both). If stock items are revalued (i.e. 'adjusted cost') then you can choose to view profits based on the stock cost (shown with a background colour of powder blue), value (adjusted cost; shown with a background colour of pale turquoise) or both.

You can select different columns to view profitability for allocated stock, shipped items and total (allocated and shipped).

When a new sales order is created, the system calculates the profit figures based on the item average unit value (actual cost or adjusted cost if the item cost price has been revalued) to give estimated profit figures. However, as stock is allocated, the system updates the profit figures using the unit value of the items from the allocated batch of stock. If the stock is only part allocated (including any shipped items), then the profit figures will be true (accurate) for the allocated stock / shipped items and an approximation for the non-allocated items.
