Margin Actual – Gross Profit Margin
This is a percentage calculated as Cost / Net Sales Price. This is only calculated in the system if you change either cost, margin or tax entries. It may be imported from accounting system or ERP package or your previous system if available.
There is a profile (Prices_Tax_Exclusive) that can always exclude any tax in calculation so becomes Percentage as Cost / Gross Sales Price.
There is a profile to format to 0 to 5 decimal places.
There is a profile to determine which Price 1 through 5 to use.
Some users mistake Gross Profit Margin with mark-ups. This is not a mark-up field.
If either cost or Sales prices are zero then ignore margin calculation
Example cost is £100, tax is 20%, Sales price is £120 – Margin is 0%
Example cost is £100, tax is 20%, Sales price is £200 – Margin is 40% (40% of the £200 is profit if you are including the tax, see profile to remove tax).
