  In SAP, ratios are used to measure the performance of a company or to compare different companies. Ratios can be calculated for any number of values, such as sales, profits, expenses, assets, liabilities, and more. To calculate a ratio in SAP, you must first enter the two values that you want to compare. Then divide one value by the other and express the result as a percentage, fraction, or decimal.

  When calculating ratios in SAP, it is important to remember that the order of the values matters.
