Sales Gross Margin report

OK...one last question.

Am I correct in believing that the Sales Gross Margin report DOES NOT
include any credit memos which were run - whether via RMA or not?
Thanks....I'm going in circles here trying to reconcile my gross margin.

You are correct, no credit memos in SGMR.

Has anyone modified the Sales Gross Margin report and made it into either Crystal or RB? I just got an anonymous tip that accounting is going to be knocking on the imaginary door of my office cube asking for just such a thing. I'd like a head start if possible...

I am just double-checking. We cannot modify the Sales Gross Margin
report without purchasing the source code because its file extension
is "R" which means it is compiled (or at least semi-compiled.)
Actually since you can't purchase the source code (Epicor will not sell it) the only option short of re-writing it with another tool would be hiring Custom Programming to do it. I have not looked but if that is one of the reports that is dual Progress and Crystal you would have the Crystal version available to modify.

Does anybody have a report builder sales gross margin report they would be willing to share. If not, can somebody give me some ideas on what table they are pulling the information from.

Thanks,
Jasper

Depends on your environment. If you are (like us) not make-to-stock and then ship-from-stock the last costs from a job are not always available when stuff is invoiced. We ship from open jobs that might stay open for months longer. So getting the costs from the invoice side is not always accurate. I've spent hundreds of hours tweaking reports to marry up shipped qty's with job "per piece" costs. Even so we still get "phantom" costs posted to the job just before closing (late shipping fees, subcontractor adjustments, etc...) well after the last parts have been invoiced. This really messes up the final "margins" that should have been reported.

If you are make-to/ship-from stock then the costs on the invoice detail would be pretty close for calculating sales margin.

Depending on which way you operate I probably have a sales gross margin report I could send.

Todd,

My CFO is hounding me for a GM report. Could you also send me what you have.

Then I can tweak it from there.

I am on 8.00.809b going to 810c in two weeks.

Any help would be great.

Thank you.

Sorry with 8.00 there is no Report Builder, as Jasper's OM asked for, so I am afraid what I have won't help unless you have migrated from 6.10 and still have that (and Progress 9.1d) operational. Eventually I will have to convert everything to Crystal but I keep putting that off as long as our migration keeps getting put off (now set for go-live 1/1/2009). But if making your own report it would still be good to be aware of the pitfalls in trusting the costs recorded on invoice lines if making multiple shipments directly from open jobs. Costs are frozen at the time of invoicing even if incomplete.

I developed an SGM report I from scratch due to the very simplistic and
inaccurate approach within system canned report. We are pretty happy
with the numbers we get from the PDRs so we modeled the report after the
PDR, and tested against it. If you contact me offline, I will send a
screen shot of the table relationships I setup.

I did a Gross Margin in Access trying to match the Vantage report. The
new Progress report in Ver 8.0 isn't linear (data going horizontal and
vertical in the same record) so can't cut and paste into Excel anymore.
I filter the dates through a form but here's the rest my SQL:

SELECT DISTINCT PUB_ShipDtl.JobNum, PUB_InvcDtl.InvoiceNum,
PUB_InvcHead.InvoiceDate, PUB_InvcDtl.PartNum, PUB_InvcDtl.OurShipQty AS
[Ship Qty], Round([ourshipqty]*[MtlUnitCost],2) AS [Material Cost],
Round([LbrUnitCost]*[ourshipqty],2) AS [Labor Cost],
Round([ourshipqty]*[BurUnitCost],2) AS [Burden Cost],
Round([ourshipqty]*[MtlBurUnitCost],2) AS [Mtrl Burden],
Round([ourshipqty]*[SubUnitCost],2) AS [Subcontract Cost],
PUB_Part.PartDescription, PUB_Part.ProdCode, PUB_InvcDtl.UnitPrice,
[mtlunitcost]+[lbrunitcost]+[burunitcost]+[mtlburunitcost]+[subunitcost]
AS [Unit Cost], Round([ourshipqty]*pub_invcdtl.unitprice,2) AS [Total
Price], Round([ourshipqty]*[unit cost],2) AS [Total Cost], Round([total
price]-[total cost],2) AS [Margin $], IIf([total
price]<>0,Format([margin $]/[total price],'Percent'),0) AS [Margin%],
ODBCUSER_CUSTOMER_VIEW.Name AS Customer, ODBCUSER_CUSTOMER_VIEW.CustID
FROM ((PUB_InvcHead INNER JOIN (PUB_InvcDtl LEFT JOIN PUB_ShipDtl ON
(PUB_InvcDtl.PartNum = PUB_ShipDtl.PartNum) AND (PUB_InvcDtl.OrderNum =
PUB_ShipDtl.OrderNum) AND (PUB_InvcDtl.OrderRelNum =
PUB_ShipDtl.OrderRelNum) AND (PUB_InvcDtl.Company =
PUB_ShipDtl.Company)) ON (PUB_InvcHead.InvoiceNum =
PUB_InvcDtl.InvoiceNum) AND (PUB_InvcHead.Company =
PUB_InvcDtl.Company)) LEFT JOIN PUB_Part ON PUB_InvcDtl.PartNum =
PUB_Part.PartNum) INNER JOIN ODBCUSER_CUSTOMER_VIEW ON
PUB_InvcHead.CustNum = ODBCUSER_CUSTOMER_VIEW.CustNum
WHERE (((PUB_InvcDtl.PartNum)<>'') AND ((PUB_InvcHead.Posted)=True) AND
((PUB_InvcHead.InvoiceType)="Shp"))
ORDER BY PUB_ShipDtl.JobNum, PUB_InvcDtl.InvoiceNum,
PUB_InvcHead.InvoiceDate;


Spaghetti for sure but you can C&P in an Access query and look at the
QBD window. I pulled the part description from the Part table instead
of the Order Line just because the folks in Contracts don't always match
the part description in the order. But everything else should be
straight forward. Also, there is a support document on this, 253MPS.

All that said, Todd et al. bring up some good points as to the accuracy
and timing of this report. As mentioned, it's just a snapshot at the
time of invoice and should be used accordingly.
