Company (Studio) Preferences - Reports

On the Reports tab, you can set more reporting options for the software.

Options

Profit Analysis Report

You have several options for calculating the total cost of each session on the Profit Analysis Report:

  • Pre-Production Costs - Include proofing costs as determined by the vendor invoice amount you enter on the pre-production order.

  • Product Costs - Include product costs that may apply. There are two option to calculate product costs:

Option 1 - Item Costs - Uses the cost for each item on an invoice from the Costs tab of the Item Maintenance. See also: Price List Reference

Option 2 - Production Order Costs - Uses the cost from the vendor invoice amount that you fill in on each production order. See also: Production Order Reference

The first option requires more initial setup, but product costs are then calculated automatically. The second option requires you to manually input the figures you receive from your vendors’ invoices, but should be more accurate than the first method.
