Margin

The Margin field is only visible to admin users. For non-admin users, this field is hidden to restrict access to sensitive financial details.

Margin Calculation: The margin is calculated as:

Margin = Net Sale Price - (Net Buying Price + Expenses)

This calculation ensures transparency in profit tracking for admin users while keeping sensitive data secure. Margin can affect tax calculations depending upon the country and region. Please refer to this link for more information on tax calculations.

How to Hide Dealer Buying Price from Purchase and Sales Pages for Other Users

The Dealer Buying Price is designed to be visible only to admin users to protect sensitive financial information. If you want to hide this price from other users across both Purchase and Sales pages, follow the steps below.

Steps to Restrict Dealer Buying Price Visibility

Expand the Admin sidebar.
Select Users from the list.
Open the desired user in edit mode by clicking the edit icon in the Action column.
Change the User Type to Standard.
Save the changes.

Once the user is set as a Standard user, the Dealer Buying Price and other sensitive financial details will be hidden from them on both purchase and sales screens.

Important Note About Login

This permission change takes effect only after the user logs out and logs in again. If the user is already logged in, they must re-authenticate to see the updated access restrictions.

Exception You Should Be Aware Of

There is one important exception to this restriction. If taxes are calculated on margin, the Dealer Buying Price can still be derived mathematically from the Net Sale Price, even if the field itself is hidden.
