Understanding the margin/profitability report
Real margins per item and batch — free quantities and schemes priced correctly.
Step by Step
- Open Reports → Margin Analysis.
- Filter by period, category or supplier.
- Sort by contribution to see what actually earns.
- Remember: free/bonus quantities reduce effective purchase cost in the math.
How to Read It
- Net sales are shown before GST, because GST is not your income.
- Cost of goods uses the purchase price before GST, reduced by free scheme quantities.
- Margin % = profit ÷ net sales.
What to Do With It
Sort items by profit, not by sales. Fast sellers with thin margins and slow sellers with high margins need different buying decisions. Review monthly and adjust what you stock and which schemes you accept.
The margin report is part of the Pro, Lifetime, Clinic and Hospital plans.
FAQ
- Why is my margin different from MRP minus purchase price? Because the report removes GST from both sides and accounts for discounts and free quantities.
- Can I export it? Yes, to Excel.
