The report have not changed since 1.xx. The summary is calculated as follows:
Calculated Return = Total Sales - (Total Cost of Sales + Total Expenses)

Here positive return is equivalent to profit, negative value means you have lost money. NB the word return at this context have nothing to do with goods returned by customer on GRNs .

I'm not sure what you mean. On the report you have benefit calculated as sales minus costs in the last report line, so where is the problem?

just another question please ...

as i found i can always go to benefits and lose to get the report i'm looking for
(sales, cost, returns)

so as i can see i must calculate manually to subtract the total income from the sales to get the pure benefits.

can't this be a field so i don't need to calculate it outside the program ?

Best regards

Hello
You can generate Profit and Loss report from Banking & General Ledger/Report and Analysis menu.
To add any custom fields to item record you should know php and change respective files in inventory subdirectory (namely items.php and items_db.inc). There is no way to add this without changing source code.
Currently there is no support for tracking demaged items, but you can do it manually eg by periodical inventory adjustments, or issue invoice, then write off returned items in credit note.
