180. Invoicing Deducts Billback Amount when Calculating Gross Profit

This system option will change the way Gross Profit is calculated by the "invoice" so that any billback amount will be deducted from Base Cost before calculating profit.

The calculation of Gross Profit in the Invoicing system is normally done very simply since it is only intended to provide a rough indication of the profitability of a sale. As a result the calculation is just sale amount less Base Cost. You must use Base Cost as the basis for your Gross Profit calculations in order for this setting to work.

Since vendor billbacks can represent a significant part of a distributor's profit on an item (perhaps even ALL of the profit), we have added this option so that the calculation of Gross Profit accounts for any billback amounts.

There is a "per user" setting allows Gross Profit to be calculated using Landed Cost as the basis.
