The Sales Volume page enables you to see at a

glance how your sales volume has developed over
time, and where you can increase it, for example,
with open sales orders, open deliveries, and open
billing requests. It also gives you insights into
credit memos resulting from returns and
complaints, and cancellations, that is, invoices that
have been canceled due to internal errors in your
company.
The Profit Margin page enables you to analyze
your sales volume and profit margin over time and
by sales organization. For example, you can see
whether your profit margin is low for a particular
sales organization. It also shows you your sales
volume, profit margin, and net sales cost for the
top 5 customers.
The Incoming Orders page enables you to
analyze and compare incoming sales and service
orders by dimensions such as sales organization,
sales office, or sold-to party. The charts help you to
identify top customers and trends.
