  Key Concepts: 
  Profit margin is a measure of profitability that shows the percentage of revenue that a company retains as profit after accounting for all expenses. In SAP Sales and Distribution (SD), profit margin is calculated by subtracting the cost of goods sold from the sales revenue and dividing the result by the sales revenue. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP SD, profit margin can be calculated by using the Profit Margin Analysis (PMA) report. This report can be accessed through the SAP Easy Access menu. Once in the report, users can enter the desired criteria such as customer, material, and date range to generate a report that displays the profit margin for each item sold. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When running the PMA report, it is important to ensure that all relevant criteria are entered in order to get an accurate result. Additionally, users should consider running the report on a regular basis in order to track changes in profit margins over time.
