Profit Spread

The Markup action tab also gives the user the option of applying a profit spread markup. Profit spreading makes it possible to distribute a fixed amount of profit to a selection of bill items. Profit will be distributed evenly, in accordance with the net rates of these items. A typical use case for profit spreading would be the inclusion of overheads or indirect costs in individual line items. Items with fixed selling rates will be skipped.

Important note: The profit spread function is the only markup operation that can be used cumulatively, i.e., markup can be added onto the selling rate in consecutive operations. This can be done by switching off the option “Clear Item Selling Rates Before Adding”.
