It is possible to use GEM-CAR to configure an additional margin to auto-finance:
- administration expenses: internet, telephone, paper, ink, etc.
- shop material: grease, acetylene.
The additional margin is a percentage that is automatically added to the sales price indicated or by transferring the parts from your distributor’s site.
- Go to "Inventory Management" / "Product/Job code management"
- Choose a category.
- Click on the spy glass next to "Category" field.
- In the field "Percentage (%) of additional margin:" add percentage value.
- Click on "Save".
In the POS, open an estimate.
- Add a part that is inventoried or not.

- 2% of $200,000 in sales generates a profit of $4,000 which auto-finances your telephone, ink, paper expenses and other office expenses.
