Ensuring that you have the correct margins for stock coming in can be a worry, SAM can automate this process and ensure that the margins are kept at the same level per stock analysis group

Set-up

You will first need to set the margins per analysis group.

In SAM go to Maintenance (1) > Stock Analysis Groups (2)

In here we are looking at the Multipliers and how they are calculated:

Average Cost vs last Cost

Fairly self explanatory here, this is determining which cost figure is going to be used when calculating the different Prices

NB: Cost prices are excluding GST

Calculations (Retail or Trade etc)

This affects what the customer is charged - you can have a trade customer be charged a different price on parts or part types.

Example:

In this example the old Last Cost price was $35.00 and the new one is $45.00

When receiving the part from a Purchase order the above window pops up.

As per the Analysis group the new retail is calculated at 1.8 (plus 80% margin) = $81.00

You have the option of accepting it or manually changing it.

NB: You can click on the header to change Inclusive instead of Exclusive.
