Invoice / cost / profit

Hi,
What's the best way to record a cost against an invoice, which is sent to a customer, please? This would allow the system to calculate profit. E.g.

Invoice to a customer - £10 (ex VAT)
Cost of products - £6 (ex VAT)
Gross profit - £4.

So in this instance I'd like to record 'cost of products' against the invoice of £10.

Thanks,

Robert

Hi Robert,

The best approach is to associate the invoice and associated costs to a 'job'. In the transaction window click More Options > Job or Department, then select a job (creating a new one if necessary). You can then see the net profit for each job by going to the Reports list and selecting 'Profit and Loss - By Job or Dept'

Kind regards,
