Product & Cost
In the Product & Cost table you enter the description and the direct cost of the products and services that your business is selling. This table will be used later in consequent data and analysis screens, e.g. In the Sales Plan screen you will enter the projected sales for each product that is included in the product table.
The table is organized according to the definition you have entered in the General Data screen for the item "Sales Forecast by". The method that the software will use to calculate the product cost is different if the sales forecast is done in units or cash and so is the data entry.
Sales Forecast by Units
Enter the costs of producing or purchasing the products or services you plan to sell. For each product unit enter the cost - detailed by Labor Cost, Material Cost and Other Costs.
If the 'Specify VAT rate for each Expense type' in the General Data screen (VAT tab) is marked, an additional column to enter the VAT rate per each product is displayed. The VAT will be calculated on the material and other costs.
Sales Forecast by Cash
Enter the mark-up of each product or service as a percentage of your purchasing price, or enter the gross profit margin as a percentage of your selling price.
Φ Notes:
- When you open the Product & Cost (or Product & Margin) window, the Sales Plan window closes automatically. When you open the Sales Plan window, the Product & Cost (or Product & Margin) window closes automatically.
- Do not duplicate these costs elsewhere as variable expenses, as in an expense group called 'Production', for example.
