Viewing Margin Percent

You can select to view markup percent or margin percent.

Markup percent and margin percent are calculated as follows:

• Markup Percent = ((Expected Contract - Total Forecasted Costs) / Total Forecasted Costs) * 100
• Margin Percent = ((Expected Contract - Total Forecasted Costs) / Expected Contract) * 100

To view Margin or Markup Percent:

1. Select Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Setup > Job Cost > Job Cost Setup > Setup Options.
2. In the Display Preference section, select the Margin Percent radio button.
