Hello
I am printing POs to attach to invoices and would like to be able to calculate the margin quickly from this information. It appears that only the cost and ext cost along with ext cost original are showing but not the retail total. Is there a way to get that to show on the PO or is there another report I can attach? I would like to look back and see how my margins are changing when doing business with certain vendors.
Thanks!

A Purchase Order really is the not the place to do this. A PO is something that you send to the Vendor and your vendor does not need to see your prices (unless they have some policy about pricing but even then they would probably want to see your sales numbers anyway).

There are a number of purchase order reports in the report selector that you might want to look at, but I would suggest either running an inventory report, by vendor. This will show you what your inventory margins are. Or maybe a sales report by vendor, and this will tell you what your true sales margins by vendor are (you might have had to discount all of the vendors items at the end of the season since they weren't selling). This would give you a better indication of true margins for a vendor.

You could also just print a historical receiving report, filtered for a period of time for a particular PO Number. This will show you what you have received from the vendor with margins and typically what people are paying off of (you don't pay for items you have not received or are back ordered).

Hope that helps.
