Margins

[Russellj]

I have an issue I do not know how to get round so any input welcome.

I have some goods that are sold by weight so I cannot put the buy price in Actinic as it varies as does the sales price which is why I treat these as a cash sale and enter the sale values manually. I know that I make for example a fixed 30% GM on each sale and would therefore like the system to use this info to work out the profit atc. as it does on any other transaction.

Is there a way to make the system use a margin % on a sale rather than use a cost price?

Thanks

We sell bird food, peanuts etc loose, but sell it in bags with a predetermined value. ie £2, £4 etc........so we can enter a cost per item.

I know what you mean, as they do it in supermarkets.

With the way we do it is is easy to increase the price of the product (less weight) with out all the associated moaning and groaning
