Why It Matters
The problem
Busy all year, but where did the profit go?
High sales, thin margin
Some of your best-selling items may be sold at almost no margin. Without item-wise profit, they look like winners.
Discounts given blindly
Staff give extra discounts to close deals. You only learn later that some bills made a loss.
Dead stock hides in plain sight
Items that rarely sell keep money locked up. Without a report showing slow movers, you keep reordering them.
How it works
How profit reports work
1
Bill and buy as usual
Purchase cost and sale value are captured from your everyday vouchers. No extra entries are needed.
2
Open the profit report
Choose Item-wise Profit or Bill-wise Profit and pick the period.
3
Sort and drill down
Sort by margin or value, and use 4-level item grouping to see profit by category, brand or variant.
4
Act on it
Revise prices, limit discounts on low-margin bills, push high-margin items and stop reordering slow movers.

Who uses it, and how

A mobile shop finds that one popular phone model sells well but earns very little after scheme adjustments, while accessories carry most of the profit.
Hardware distributor
A hardware distributor reviews bill-wise profit and sees that large orders from one dealer are being discounted below the target margin.
FMCG distributor
An FMCG distributor groups items by Principal → Brand → Pack size and finds which principal's brands give the best margin per rupee of stock.
Furniture retailer
A furniture store uses the least selling items report on Advance to identify designs that haven't moved in six months and plans a clearance sale.
