Hi Community,
 
I would like to find out at Items List, there is this field called Price/Profit Calculation.
 
May I ask if there is any difference between Profit=Price-Cost VS Price=Cost+Profit ?
 
Although I see that the relationship seems the same, where can I get some information on what other combinations are there for this field?
 
 
Thank you !

    This field specifies the relationship between the Unit Cost, Unit Price, and Profit Percentage fields for an item. You can use it in one of three ways:

    1. Calculate Unit Price from Profit %: To enable this, set Price/Profit Calculation to 'Price = Cost + Profit'. Enter a Profit %, and the system will calculate the Unit Price based on the Profit % and Unit Cost fields.
    2. Calculate Profit % from Unit Price: To enable this, set Price/Profit Calculation to 'Profit = Price - Cost'. Enter a Unit Price, and the system will calculate the Profit % based on the Unit Price and Unit Cost fields. 
    3. No Relationship: Select 'No Relationship' in the Price/Profit Calculation field. This allows you to manually enter values for both the Unit Price and Profit % fields without automatic calculations.
