In this step, you define profit groups that contain the parameters used in profit simulation.

You have the following options:

  • You change an existing profit group
  • You copy an existing profit group and change this to meet your requirements

You must make/check the following entries:

  1. Percentage margin:
    During profit simulatuion, the system checks whether the specified margin has been achieved. The percentage relates to either the vendor or customer business volume, depending on the Customizing settings for the profit group.
  2. Business volume calculation:
    This parameter defines whether the vendor or customer business volume is used to calculate the margin.
  3. Minimum margin:
    During profit simulation, the system checks whether the specified absolute margin has been achieved.
  4. Interest calculation:
    Interest rate used to calculate incoming and outgoing payments. In profit simulation it is possible to take account of interest gain and loss. The payments in agency business are usually made at different points in time. If, for example, the vendor is paid first, and the payments from the customer do not follow until a later date, interest loss is incurred. The following method is used to calculate the interest: The first demand or liability is calculated linearly up to the time when the next payment is made. In the next period, the interest on the balance of the payments received/made up to that point in time is calculated linearly. The method ends when the last payment is made. You use the Customizing settings for the payment date to control the calculation of the expected date of payment. If you do not want to take interest into account, you should enter an interest rate of 0%.
  5. Method of calculating interest, profit simulation:
    The indicator controls what method is used to calculate interest.
  6. Payment date calculation:
    Method for how the payment date is calculated using the baseline date for payment. To calculate interest gain and loss, it is necessary to calculate the dates on which payments are to be made/received. It is assumed that payments are made on the latest date possible while still making use of cash discounts.
  7. Calculate cash discount:
    If this flag is selected, the relevant cash discount amount is deducted from all the amounts payable and receivable. Profit simulation is carried out using the amounts modified in this way.
