The analytical app displays the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Gross Margin
. You can drill down to see your gross profit margin 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.
The gross profit margin ratio that the system calculates takes revenue, sales deductions, and direct 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: Gross Margin.
The following measures are available for you to create your own KPI tiles and drill-downs:
Field | Description |
---|---|
| Retrieves the actual gross profit margin for the current fiscal year to the current date as a percentage, including revenue and cost postings with a date in the future |
| Retrieves the actual gross profit margin for the same period in the previous fiscal year as a percentage |
| Retrieves the planned gross profit margin for the current fiscal year to the current period as a percentage |
| Retrieves the variance in gross profit margin between the actual and last year's figures in basis points |
| Retrieves the variance in gross profit margin between the actual and planned figures in basis points |
You can filter or drill down your data by various dimensions, such as the companies under your organization, controlling area, customers, materials, and time.
To determine the gross profit margin ratio, the app applies the following calculation rule:
(revenue − sales deductions − direct costs) / (revenue − sales deductions)
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.

The app consists of front-end components and back-end components. The back-end components and the front-end components are delivered in separate products and have to be installed in a system landscape that is enabled for SAP Fiori.
