Introduction
The dashboarding will show the profitability per item per segment. Considering the overhead expenditure captured on the GL accounts inside Sage Evolution.
With the default reports inside Sage, you are able to quickly view the Gross profit per item, but it will not show you the nett profit per Item. This dashboards takes the expenditure from the various departments and allocates these accordingly to the items.
By entering settings on both Item UDF's and Account UDF's the dashboard will pick up both to display and use for calculations.
Dashboards
Two dashboards are available for viewing the profitability:
1) Costing overview
Main dashboard that contains all the logic and calculations to display the profitability per item per segment.
2) Sales detail
Detail dashboard containing the individual invoices for reconciliation purposes. (Note that the sales data is also available in the Costing overview, however it is loaded consolidated to limit the amount of data)
Costing overview
Main dashboard that contains all the logic and calculations to display the profitability per item per segment.
To come to a net profit the following expenditures are included in the calculations:
1) Weighted average unit cost (Coming directly from Sage and is calculated and maintained in Sage)
2) Production expenses (expenditure that is not included in the Weighted average unit of Sage, these costs are booked to GL accounts)
3) Logistics expenses (expenditure that is not included in the Weighted average unit of Sage, these costs are booked to GL accounts)
4) Sales expenses (expenditure that is not included in the Weighted average unit of Sage, these costs are booked to GL accounts)
5) Sales rebates (rebates that are not included in the Weighted average unit of Sage, these costs are booked to GL accounts)
6) Marketing expenses (rebates that are not included in the Weighted average unit of Sage, these costs are booked to GL accounts)
7) IT & Administration expenses (rebates that are not included in the Weighted average unit of Sage, these costs are booked to GL accounts)
8) Discounts on sales (Differences between the standard selling price and the actuals invoice unit price)

By allocating all these costs a net profit % is calculated in the dashboard.
