Enter Order Line - GP

By default, Micronet calculates the gross profit percentage on an order line based on the cost, price and any applicable discount for the default supplier. This figure displays in the GP Percentage field on the Enter Order Line screen.

However, you can also set the GP percentage on an order line using a different price from an alternative supplier. You might do this, for example, if you bought the item at a cost price that was either lower or higher than normal.

To set the GP percentage on a selected cost price from an alternate supplier:

  1. Display the Enter Order Line screen.

Refer to "Entering MRF Order Lines".

  1. Select the GP button next to the GP Percentage field.

Micronet displays the Enter GP Percentage On Line screen. The prices and gross profit figures at the bottom of the screen are the default supplier figures as set in the Inventory master file.

  1. Complete the following fields:

Enter Cost Base
