Gross (German: brutto) refers to monetary amounts including VAT. Reports and dashboards frequently show gross figures because customer payments and open items are, in practice, often perceived as final amounts. For internal contribution margins, net values may be more relevant; for cash and receivables overviews, however, gross is very common.
Central Command typically uses gross values from paid or open vouchers in the cache for instance charts and revenue metrics. For teams to compare numbers, units and tax logic must remain consistent. Differences between instances — such as tax rules or currencies — should be taken into account when interpreting the figures.
Gross is not a voucher type of its own but a perspective on presentation and calculation. Anyone communicating metrics should indicate whether gross or net is meant. In the command center, gross primarily serves quick situational assessment across tenants, while the detailed tax truth resides in Lexware and the accounting system.
