Gross Profit Base

It is good that, by using Ctrl G to open the Gross Profit window and updating the Item Cost, the Gross Profit base is set to "manual" and therefore does not update as you copy the document to target documents. This allows for the use of a "Misc" type inventory item for one off purchase and sale transactions.
However, we do have a customer that uses this functionality very frequently (the have 6000 stock items in 7 warehouses, but still use the Misc item frequently). The sales team oftem just key the item cost at line level and do not use the window, which does NOT change the setting to manual.
It would be good to be able to access the "Manual" setting from the DI, to enable the automation of this process, as currently, the majority of these items are not being set to manual, therefore the GP is recorded as 100%, making it very difficult to establish commissions for the sales team.

It appears the this issue has been resolved as of PL49 (possibly earlier).
Updating the Gross Base By value in the invoice line does now set the base by to Manual, without having to open the box, this means the DI is now able to be used to set this value.

    Gross Profit Base Price is defined in
    System Initialization > Document Settings > General tab...the very first entry
    Depending on the pricelist you select and whether it is on Sales Price or Cost price, the gross profit will be calculated on the documents
    Usually Item Cost and Sales Price is selected.

  • Item Cost as Base Price in calculating gross profit

    Hi All,
    We're using FIFO as item evaluation method. If "Item Cost" has been set up as the base price origin for gross profit, where does SB1 get the value for the gross profit base price for an invoice?
    I know it is not from any price list, and it is not from oitw.avgprice.  Is this item cost calculated using FIFO?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Your assumption is correct. It is item cost calculated using FIFO.
    Thanks,

  • How to get the Sales A/R Gross Profit to equal the G/L Gross Profit

    Should the sales ledger (S/L) GP base price be set to 'Std Cost List' (SCL) or 'Item cost'?
    If so, the General Ledger (G/L) uses the 'item cost' and the S/L uses the SCL - two different costs.
    If the SCL and item cost are different (for the same item) how do I balance the S/L GP with the G/L GP when producing financial (G/L accounts)?
    Any help or pointing towards help documents would be gratefully appretiated

    Thank you Shwu very much for taking an interest in my problem.
    We are indeed using Standard costing as our preferred stock costing system (not LIFO or MA) and the 'Standard Cost List' (SCL) is a price list that we are using as a list of all the std costs of our items.  Therefore in each item master we set a SCL for an item and then an Item Cost as well (stockdata tab/item cost).
    We were told to do this , as in 2006 when we installed 'SAP V2005', the gross profit base price (S/L base price) could not select the item cost by default. You could also not change an items 'item cost' either. I believe this is not now the case as in document settings the 'base price origin' can now be set as item cost and you can alter the item cost by a stock revaluation p.s. we are now using V2007.
    So indeed as you say, because at the moment the S/L and G/L look at two different figures and if those figures are not the same the S/L GP will never = the G/L GP.
    Scenario 1 - There are a number of reasons why the SCL does not = the Item cost
    1. Price rises - where we altered the SCL but didn't know we could alter the item cost
    2. Incorrect selection of 'item properties' i.e. not ticking an item as stock which means the G/L does not debit the cost at all.
    3. All our manufactured items have an estimated SCL and item cost, but as we dont use BOMs yet, the std cost may not be accurate. (we need to wait till we do a physical stock check)
    4. We use item masters for each of our direct labour sales so the cost is an estimate of their hourly rate + NIC + down time etc. So this is similar to (3) above.
    5. Supplier carriage on 'goods in' cannot be reflected in the item cost as you never know how much the carriage cost is until you recieve the goods. We therefore set supplier carriage as an 'expense' G/L (purchased not stocked item property)
    6. An advantage of using SCL is that you can allow say 10% for wastage or say 5% for carriage cost, whereas you would want the item cost to be the actual purchased cost of the item
    Scenario 2 - Use only the item cost for S/L and G/L
    1. bar for (6) above it now seems to make sense to select only the item cost for S/L & G/L if we want to close the difference between S/L & G/L GP reports.
    2. But I've just been told that a purchase order stamps the SCL cost down not the item cost. very strange, I'll have to look into this.
    I do hope my answers make some sense and once again thanks for helping me

  • Gross Profit of order Popup screen

    I have set Calculate Gross profit to a default price list. By doing
    The default value is defined in  Administration  System Initialization  Document Settings  General  Calculate Gross Profit  Base Price Origin .
    Now that I have defined which price list to use as base Orgin,
    Am I able to Lock default I choose on Gross Profit of Order Popup Screen
    Is this somewhere in user Security settings

    There is read only selection under Sales Gross Profit.  You may set it as read only to see. However, I don't think there is any authorization for this function alone.  If you could set up user read only, it will stop user to change any.  However, that may not meet your need.  If you just want to block user in changing it, it is possible through SP Transaction Notification.  Check within forum to find out many examples of this SP.
    Thanks,

  • Internal Error - User not authorized to use the gross profit module

    We have a client who has a limited logistics license and just recently moved to 8.8.  in the past he could deliver directly from a pick list but now he is getting an error "User not authorized to use the gross profit module".  Is this something related to an authorization setting?  Before the move this task was not an issue.  Please advise.
    Thank you.
    Rene

    Hi Gordon, one of our user just experienced the same problem in sales order.
    In Form Settings he ticked "Display BP Catalog Number", and while he entered the catalog number he got the same error message.
    I'm not sure what this has to do with the gross profit base method...maybe the fields "Gross profit" and "Gross profit base price"?   Don't know where to set them up.
    Thanks.

  • Gross profit concept

    Hi Experts,
    Can you describe to me the GP concept in B1 ? is it changed from old version to newest version ?

    Hi,
    Check  the help document for gross profit i.e
    SAP Business One lets you calculate the gross profit according to the method you define during application configuration. The gross profit for each document row is calculated and then totaled for the entire document.
    To calculate the gross profit in a sales document, from the menu bar choose  Goto  Gross Profit .
    Note
    Gross profit calculation is only active if you have selected the Calculate Gross Profit checkbox in  Administration  System Initialization  Document Settings  General .

    Gross Profit of Order Window Fields
    Note
    This topic includes explanations of some of the fields and other elements in this window.
    End of the note.
    Base Price By Displays the base price in accordance with the price list.
    The default value is defined in  Administration  System Initialization  Document Settings  General  Calculate Gross Profit  Base Price Origin .
    If required, you can choose a different price list.
    Other additional prices are:
    Last Purchase Price u2013 the last price at which you bought the item.
    Last Evaluated Price u2013 the price calculated in the last run of the Inventory Valuation report.
    Item Cost u2013 the current item cost in the relevant warehouse; see  Item Master Data  Inventory Data .
    Gross Profit SAP Business One calculates the difference between the sales price and the base price for each item in the sales document. If the result is negative, the row is highlighted in red.
    Profit % SAP Business One calculates the gross profit in percent.
    When you configure the application, you can choose between two different calculation methods:
    The gross profit can be displayed on the basis of the ratio of the gross profit to the sales priceof the item.
    The gross profit can be displayed on the basis of the ratio of the gross profit to the cost priceof the item.
    If you change data in this window, confirm your changes by choosing Update and OK.
    Note
    When you configure SAP Business One, you can set it up so that an internal mail is sent automatically to specific users when a particular gross profit is exceeded.
    End of the note.
    Note
    If you manage stock using perpetual inventory and the base price calculations are set to Item Cost, the application recalculates the base price if the item cost changes when you copy a base document to a target document.
    End of the note.
    Note
    If you manage perpetual inventory and use the FIFO valuation method, the application always takes the cost of the next available layer, regardless of the quantity.
    End of the note.
    Example
    Qty = 15 Cost = 12 oldest layer (next layer to use)
    Qty = 20 Cost = 40
    Qty = 10 Cost = 9
    If the quantity is 40, the item cost that SAP Business One uses for the gross profit calculation is 12.
    End of the example.

  • Base Price for Gross Profit

    Does anyone know if there is a way to update this field through the DI API?
    It is the column GrossBuyPr in the RDR1 table. I don't see anyway to update this through the DI API.
    I can update it through the UI API but this is not the best way.
    The field is called Base Price for Gross Profit in the B1 client.
    Curtis

    Hi Curtis,
    Currently that field is not exposed thru DI API.

  • Possible Bug in DI with Gross Profit? Please confirm.

    The following works:
    1) Add an Inventory Item and set the "Items per Sales Unit" field to "0.1". The "Items per Purchase Unit" is set to "1".
    2) Create a goods receipt for 1 purchase unit.
    3) Create an A/R invoice for 1 unit.
    This should add a line item for 0.1 inventory units and set the price to 0.1 * <itemprice> which it does.
    4) Click on the Gross Profit money bag and everything displays correctly. The journal entry for COGS is also correct.
    What doesn't work:
    If you try the above using the DI API then the journal entry for COGS is correct, but when you find the A/R invoice and click the gross profit money bag then it shows that you sold the item at a loss since it uses the full purchase price unit vs the partial sales unit.
    If you then go an manually add an A/R invoice for the item added through DI API then gross profit calculates correctly.
    There seems to be a problem with the gross profit when you add the invoice through DI API. Is there a parameter when adding SO or AR Invoices that I could be missing?
    System Info:
    SBO 2005 A (6.80.123)
    SQL Server
    Document Settings > Base Price Origin set to Item Cost

    More information:
    After further research I found that the DI API is setting the unit to the Sales Unit (which is correct), but it sets the price to the Inventory Unit price.
    When I set the price via the DI API to what it should be then the discount column was set to 90%.
    Is this by design? If so, what do I need to do to correct this problem?

  • Wrong Gross Profit

    Hi All,
    I have created an A/R Invoice, now when I see the gross profit report it shows wrong base price (zero) and wrong gross profit.
    Base Price By was Last Purchase Price.
    I am using Manage by Batch No. option.
    While A/R Invoice I have selected respective Batches.
    But the system has picked up the base price from one transaction which I did not select in Batch selection.
    For particular Item there were 3 Incoming trasactions, 2 were opening balance with respective value and last was also opening balance but with value zero.
    The valuation method is FIFO.
    Can anyone explain me
    1.Why the zero value has been picked up in the gross profit calculation and
    2.How can I correct this value to have correct base value and correct gross profit ?
    Thanks,
    Samir Gandhi
    Edited by: Samir Gandhi on Dec 5, 2008 5:57 PM

    Hi Samir,
    Please give the dates of those 3 Incoming transactions.  FIFO calculation will always pick the earliest possible transaction which haven't be offset yet.
    Thanks,
    Gordon

  • No Gross Profit without Delivery Ticket

    We ship product sometimes using a delivery ticket and sometimes we go directly from the sales order to the invoice, bypassing the delivery ticket. On the invoices that do not use a delivery ticket the Gross profit is 100.00%.
    The items are relieved from inventory and the General Ledger posting is correct. It is only the GP reports or from the individual invoice screen that the GP is wrong. We have selected Calculate Gross Profit and Manage Inventory by Warehouse in the document settings.
    Is there a way to calculate GP if a delivery ticket is not used?

    Hi Kathy,
    GP always depends on the base price & this base price is only dynamically recalculated in the target document when you use 'Item Cost'. If you use any other method, the application will pull the base price from the base document.
    There are 2 EES about GP in the archive here:
    https://psd.sap-ag.de/PEC/calendar/
    Enter 'Gross Profit' into the keyword field & tick the checkbox 'Archived Sessions only'.
    All the best,

  • Negative Gross Profit figure - Sales Analysis by Employee

    Forum,
    I have a system on 8.81 PL08. When running the sales analysis by sales employee and select one employee in particular the gross profit figure is showing a negative value. 
    Why would this be negative?
    The system is currently configured as follows:
    GP calculated - Profit/Base Price
    The block negative stock option is also selected.
    Regards,
    Juan

    Hi Juan,
    Negative value in the gross profit is due to wrong gross profit calculation in the document. If you get detail of the transaction, you will know why.
    Thanks,

  • A/R Credit Memo Gross Profit calculated incorrectly

    My client created an A/R Credit Memo by opening an A/R Invoice and copying to the A/R Credit Memo.  They deleted all the rows in the credit memo, changed the type to Service, typed a description, added the correct G/L account, and entered the total amount.  The controller of the company looked at the Sales Analysis for the Business Partner by clicking on the graphic icon on the BP form.  He noticed the Gross Profit for the above credit memo showed the exact gross profit as the original invoice from which it was copied, except the value was negative.  The original gross profit was -$73,777 so the Sales Analysis report was significantly incorrect.  I think this is a bug in how the gross profit was calculated on the credit memo.  Am I correct?

    Gordon,
    I totally agree with you.  I told them to not do this any more. 
    I was just wondering if maybe the calculation should be been performed using the final numbers on the Credit Memo instead of using numbers from the original invoice.  Should I raise this issue to SAP?

    Hi
    You need to check if you really the report Plant wise and if yes, then check if the Accounting Transactions are maintained at Plant Level in your source system i.e. in R3.
    Ideally it should be Business area or Functional Area or Controlling area which are maintained in Accounting Transactions. You will also the relevant details for these Characterisitics + Profit Center in the NEW GL Accounting data sources.

  • Blank figures appearing in Gross Profit %

    Forum,
    Within 8.8 when logging into the sales order scren as a particular user, if they click on the Gross Profit % icon the values appear as: ***** instead of actual numeric values. I presume as this is user specific it's down to authorisations. Upon checking for this user the option for 'Gross Profit' is set to 'Full authorisation'. Is there another setting within authorisations which would cause the above?
    Regards,
    Juan

    Juan,
    What is the license type of this user? If it is limited, that would be one of the reason.
    Thanks,
