How To: Setting Up Sales Analysis Preferences (05-60)

Overview

This selection allows the operator to adjust the range of “normal” Gross Margins which are used in the Sales Analysis System. The Gross Margins defined in this selection are used in the “Brand Performance by Location” and “Department Performance by Location” reports.

If a Sales category has an Average Gross Margin that falls outside of this established Gross Margin range, a flag (*) is printed to notify the reader that an unusual situation exists. This flag is helpful in reading the report on an exception only basis, instead of having to compare the figures and identify the unusual circumstances manually.
