Causes/ Reasons that Affect Sales Margins

Here are the factors/causes/reasons that throw off sales margins:

• Cause 1: Parts
• Purchasing a barrel/case and selling by unit.

• Example: A barrel of oil bought with 1000L and sold by the liter.
  → Create 2 products: one by the liter and the other by 1000 liters.

   

• Cause 2: Labor
• Option 45 must be unchecked (normal configuration).
• Otherwise, if you sell 4 tire installations, the cost will be calculated as 4 hours.

How to Find the Errors

• Use the sales report (click on the hyperlink to drill down to the invoices causing issues).

• Do not use the sales report by category: no drill down available.

• Go to Main Menu > Sales > Reports > Summary.

• P.S.: The sales report by category does not allow you to drill down.
