 Net Margin

 

The analytical app displays the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Net Margin. You can drill down to see your net profit margin ratio over a selected period in the current fiscal year and compare it with your planned amounts and with history data from the same period in the previous fiscal year.

Key Features

Data Aggregation

The net profit margin ratio that the system calculates takes revenue, sales deductions, direct costs, and indirect costs aggregated based on a hierarchy of cost element groups that you specify in the ABAP back-end. For more information, see “Back-End Server: Create Hierarchies of Cost Element Groups” in App Implementation: Net Margin.

Measures

The following measures are available for you to create your own KPI tiles and drill-downs:

Dimensions for Filtering and Drill-Down

You can filter or drill down your data by various dimensions, such as the companies under your organization, controlling area, customers, materials, and time.

Calculation Rules

To determine the net profit margin ratio, the app applies the following calculation rule:

 

           (revenue − sales deductions − direct costs − indirect costs) / (revenue − sales deductions)

Constraints

The following constraints apply to certain types of data within the app:

  • Fiscal period is based on months only (instead of calendar week, for example).

  • The app evaluates data from account-based profitability analysis only. Therefore, it does not retrieve any actual or planning data from cost-based profitability analysis.
