This page provides summary of the Formula Expressions used in the Product Group Margin Variance Agent (Reference) .
Margin Variance To Minimum
Definition
Difference between the minimum acceptable margin threshold for the product group and the SKU average margin percent. A negative value indicates the SKU is below the threshold.
Formula
(s2.FirstQuartileMarginRate - (1.5*s2.IQRmarginRate)) - s1.AvgMarginPct
Margin Uplift
Definition
Estimated profit uplift (in value) if the SKU margin is moved toward the midpoint between the SKU’s current average margin percent and the product group’s average margin percent.
Formula
((s1.Revenue* (s1.AvgMarginPct + s2.AvgMarginPct)/2) - s1.Profit)
Margin Lift Potential Pct
Definition
Relative uplift potential compared to current profit, assuming the SKU margin moves to the midpoint between the SKU average margin percent and the product group average margin percent.
Formula
(s1.Revenue* (s1.AvgMarginPct + s2.AvgMarginPct)/2) / NULLIF(s1.Profit,0) - 1
Revenue Uplift
Definition
Estimated value uplift associated with applying the midpoint margin target to the SKU’s revenue (expressed as incremental profit value vs. current profit).
Formula
((s1.Revenue* (s1.AvgMarginPct + s2.AvgMarginPct)/2) - s1.Profit)
Suggested Margin %
Definition
Suggested target margin percent for the SKU, based on the midpoint between the SKU’s current average margin percent and the product group’s average margin percent.
Formula
((s1.Revenue * ((s1.AvgMarginPct + s2.AvgMarginPct) / 2)) / NULLIF(s1.Revenue, 0))
