5 min læst

LunixPOS calculates gross profit and margin for every product you sell, so you can see what each item actually earns after cost. The Profit margin reports group your sales by product and show net sales, cost, gross profit and gross margin side by side. You can filter by any date range and print the results in seconds.

  1. 1

    Open Reports

    From your store, go to the Reports page. The reports are organized into cards including Sales, Inventory, Finances and Profit margin.

  2. 2

    Open a Profit margin report

    Under the Profit margin section, choose the report that matches what you sell:

    • Profit by Serialized Products — phones and other devices tracked by IMEI
    • Profits by Repair Products — repair parts used on jobs
    • Profit by accessories products — simple and variable retail items
  3. 3

    Set your date range

    Use the date range picker at the top of the page to choose the period you want to analyze. It defaults to today, and the table refreshes automatically when you change the range.

  4. 4

    Read the profit columns

    Each product appears as a row with these columns:

    • Product title — the item that was sold
    • SKU or IMEI — the product code (IMEI for serialized devices)
    • Net quantity — units sold in the period
    • Net Sales — total selling price for those units
    • Cost — your cost of goods for the units sold
    • Gross Margin — gross profit as a percentage of net sales
    • Gross Profit — Net Sales minus Cost
  5. 5

    Check the Summary row

    The bold Summary row pinned at the top of the table totals net quantity, net sales, cost and gross profit across all products, and shows the overall gross margin % for the selected period.

  6. 6

    Switch between product types

    Use the filter buttons at the top of the table to jump between the Serialized and Repair profit reports without leaving the page. The active report is highlighted.

  7. 7

    Print the report

    Click Print in the top-right corner to open the export window. Confirm the From and To dates, then click Export to generate a printable PDF of the profit and margin breakdown.

Pro tip

  • Gross margin shows 0% when a product has no recorded cost, so keep product costs up to date in your inventory to get accurate profit numbers.
  • Compare the same date range month to month to spot which products are quietly losing margin and adjust your pricing.
  • Profit margin reports require Finance Manager or Finance Reports Manager permission, so make sure your role has report access before opening them.
