Reviewing and Adjusting Gross Margin Budget Percentages

Use the form to set gross margin percentages for Budget periods. You can enter Budget margin percentages manually or have them calculated based on the Prior Year Forecast trend. The margin percentages that you enter on this form are used to calculate the cost of goods sold for Inventory Items.
