Banking Interface Tips
In SAM Supermate and Elite there is an option to export your creditor payment into a file you can upload into your online bank account to complete the payment process.
Next select the button ‘Recalculate Suggest Payments’ and select the filter for which suppliers and invoices dates you want to pay.
You can go through and remove suppliers from the list and/or tag invoices you want to pay.
Mark Vs. Margin
Many people often confuse or misuse the terms ‘Mark-up’ and ‘Margin’.
While they are similar in that they both define a different measure of profitability, they do have fundamental differences. By understanding these differences you can more accurately define your profit and pricing strategy to align with your business objectives.
Mark-up refers to the price figure added to the cost price to arrive at the sell price. For example 10% ‘mark-up’ on a product would mean it has a sell price 10% greater than its cost price. At 10% ‘mark-up’ an item that cost $5 would be sold at $5.50.
Margin is the sell price less the cost. So, using the same product pricing as above, a product sold for $5.50 – $5 cost = 50c margin.
In the this example both margin and mark-up are 50c when expressed as a numeric value, but when expressed as a percentage, there was a 10% ‘mark-up’ (on the cost price) and the margin was only 9.1% (50c as a percentage of the sell price of $5.50).
If your focus is to achieve a desired margin the following calculation should be helpful:
Desired margin ÷ Cost of goods = Mark-up percentage
