Why is the shipment Margin different than expected ?

How Margin is calculated in Scope

In Scope, the margin is calculated using the following formula:

Margin = (Shipment Profit / Income excluding transit costs) × 100%

Understanding Incorrect Calculations

A charge type is identified as "Transit" when the corresponding flag is set to active.

If the margin calculation produces unexpected results, it is often due to inconsistencies in how costs and income are recorded. This typically happens when different charge types are used for costs and income, with only one of the charge types marked as "Transit."

To avoid this issue, apply one of the following solutions:

1. Ensure that both charge types are marked as "Transit."
                                              
                                                 Or
2. Ensure that neither charge type is marked as "Transit."

By using consistent settings, you can prevent discrepancies in the margin calculation.
