STRPS is a standard analysis for evaluating key figures in the Retail Information System for the short-term retail profitability statement.

This standard analysis supplies data that is particularly important from a sales point of view. You can use it to perform evaluations for the sales environment. It can be used to answer such questions as: what is the value of the stock and what are the corresponding margins in the stores of a particular sales organization?

The key figures you can analyze using STRPS include:

• Margin: difference between the retail price and cost price, expressed as a percentage of the retail price
• Inventory turn: total number of issues in relation to the average inventory

• Range of coverage: number of days supply

• GMROI (Gross Margin Return on Investment): product of annual inventory turn and issues margin

The STRPS standard analysis is based on data updated to information structures S077 (movement data) and S078 (stock data). When you run the STRPS standard analysis, the system reads in data from the information structures, makes retroactive stock calculations and determines the calculated key figures for information structure S079.
