Logging your incoming sales or gross profit (GP) and comparing it to your outgoing wages can be a fantastic way to achieve a properly forecasted roster, actively track sales for reports, and find discrepancies between your projections and what actually happened that week/fortnight.
<br>
To aid in ensuring full visibility of your data, you can also highlight when a wage percentage exceeds a certain amount, and even the option to track per department.
<br><br>
This information is different to [[Budgets]] but is part of the [[Advanced_Roster_Functions]] section, which is available in each individual roster.
You can also grab the Sales vs. Wages data from [[Reports#Sales.2FWages|Reports]] for previous roster/pay periods, which can be exported into Excel.
<br><Br>
To get the best out of the Sales vs. Wages report, Projected Sales/GP data must be entered; this can be completed as you're creating the roster, or can be backdated.<br>
Actual Sales/GP data is manually entered either in the timesheet or backdated in the roster for the same period. If you're lucky enough and use one of the [[Point of Sale]] systems that we integrate with, we may be able to pull your data automatically.
<br><br>
Before we get to the fancy stuff, let's enable the tool and have a look at the difference between Sales and Gross Profit, and how Sales vs. Wages works.<br><br>


==Difference between Sales and Gross Profit==
Sales is incoming revenue stream into the business, based off selling your goods and services.<br>
Gross profit is the incoming revenue stream minus production/manufacturing costs and any overheads.<br>
Depending on which you would prefer tracking, it can change the wage percentage and calculations for this tool and report.
<br><br>
==Enabling Sales/GP Tracking==
* Open up Wageloch and sign in.
* Click on the Settings cog in the top right and select General.
* Tick the box for Track wage percentages
** Choose to track by Sales or Gross Profit.
** Opt for highlighting % or if you'd like to track per department.
* Click Done to save.
<br><br>
==How does it work?==
When creating your roster and inputting data in the Sales area, the only two fields you can enter values into are the Projected Sales/GP and the Actual Sales/GP.
Ideally when in the setup stages, only input the Projected Sales/GP values; if you're backdating data, you can input the Actual Sales/GP values.<br><br>
To generate the wage percentage and reports correctly, the calculations work off '''four (4)''' fields:
* Projected Sales or Gross Profit
* Actual Sales or Gross Profit
* Projected Wages (based off the rostered hours)
* Actual Wages (based off the timesheet)
<br><br>
When viewing your Wage Percentage, for most industries anything sitting around '''20% - 25%''' is average and ideal; the lower the better.
If you're finding your wage percentage is creeping up and over 30%, you may need to review your revenue or your rosters to be more cost effective.<br><br>
