Ask the Accountant…
Question: Is there any way to see what I make on an order?
Answer: Unfortunately, QuickBooks does not have the function of showing the gross profit of an order for non-inventory items, which is what most of a distributor’s orders are.
If you create orders in SAGE, however, you can see what your gross profit and gross profit percentage are in an internal form called “Office Copy.”
