Margin Matrix: Linear vs Standard
Posted: Thu Nov 09, 2017 6:23 am
You will have two options for Calculation Type when setting up the Margin Matrix in Enterprise Pro:
Standard- which provides a "step" transition, in which each margin entry is an abrupt change from one percentage to another
and
Linear- which provides a "smooth" transition between margin entries to avoid the abrupt changes when using the standard method.
A question was recently raised regarding profitability when it comes to selecting the calculation type as to which one will show a
higher increase in Gross Profit.
IMPORTANT: The programmers have advised us that it is by design that using the Standard calculation type, shops may notice a slightly higher
Gross Profit over the Linear calculation type even with the new "End Cost" setting.
