Order Reception, Order Backlog and Sales
Important key figures in addition
to the general turnover are, of course, order reception, order
backlog and gross profit or gross earnings. Order reception describe
which order confirmations, based on the document date or disposition
date, have been received in the currently considered period. The
order backlog then calculates the difference between reception and
sales, and shows the outstanding deliveries or services according to
the order confirmation. And the gross profit is the turnover less
the use of goods and materials.
