Margin
Margin refers to the difference between revenue and costs in a business transaction and shows the portion that remains after direct expenses have been deducted. In SAP Business One, it is an important figure for costing, the assessment of the purchase price, and the economic evaluation of quotations, orders or invoices. It helps companies recognise whether a transaction is likely to be profitable and where price or cost variances reduce the return. A reliable view of margin supports decisions in sales and pricing, so that before a quotation is approved it can be checked quickly whether the planned selling price covers the expected costs sufficiently.
