Profit Reports Seem To Be Affected

I changed one of my product price, this should increase the profit, but the system is calculating profit by considering the previous price of the product, how I can resolve this, please?

    Hello,

    No, changing price will have no effect of previous sales. It will be used for the future sales only.

    Thank you

    yes, I understand, but the system is not increasing or decreasing the profit, either we increase or decrease the price, am talking about future sales.

    Hello,

    If you change the price, system will use that new price for all future sales.

    SMA has 2 profit/loss report, first general ledger (total sales - total purchases) and second from daily/monthly sales that is calculate as (total products revenue - total products cost) The second method do use the cost as per your inventory accounting method in settings.

    Thank you

    Yes, I understand your point completely.

    When I initially created the product, the cost was $470, and the price was set at $520. Subsequently, I updated the cost to $440. However, when making a sale for this product, the system continues to calculate the profit using the previous cost of $470, rather than the updated cost of $440.

    Hi @Faisal Arshad The SMA system uses the cost you applied during purchase or transfer to calculate profit, so editing the cost via the product module will only affect future purchase or transfer costs, just like price. An alternative solution will be to edit the latest batches of product purchases and transfers.

    if we increase or decrease the price , then system work fine , but if we increase of decrease the cost , then it does not affect the profit (it use the cost that was initially added while adding the product)

    Hello,

    I am confused now. The price and cost are different things. Please do mention your inventory accounting method so that I can answer accordingly.

    If you are changing the cost then it might not have any effect on the sale till you have finished the previous stock. Please refer to the documentation.pdf for to know more how the inventory accounting feature works. There is FAQ Can you please explain Inventory Accounting (FIFO/LIFO/AVCO)?

    Thank you

    Faisal Arshad That’s the same thing I said: increasing or decreasing the product cost will not affect the profit because the SMA system is designed to use the cost you used when you added quantity, either through the purchase, or adjustment, or transfer from one location to another. The new cost will only apply to the new or future quantity that you add.

    But an alternative solution will be to edit the latest batches of product purchases, or adjustments, or transfers and change the cost to your new cost.
