Calculating Profit in BCSS

Net profit is the selling price minus discounts (if any) minus the Consignor's share minus the employee's commission (Diamond and Virtual). If all disbursements, including wages, are recorded in Disbursements in BCSS, the final results will be pretty close to the store's net profit.

Profits are displayed in the Sales Recap Report (from the Sales Report Screen - See below).

Profits may be viewed on Total Sales, for a Time Period, for Layaways only, per Consignor, Buyer, Salesperson or Location, for a range of Invoice Totals, for a range of Items or an Individual Item, by Category and/or by User-Defined Groups.

Net profit may be calculated by any of the parameters (or combination of parameters) available on the Sales Report Screen (File > Main Menu > Sales). They are:
