It depends which GAAP you are referring to. The answer would be different for US GAAP, Canadian GAAP or IFRS. If you mean US GAAP, you can look it up at http://xbrl.us/Pages/US-GAAP.aspx - the answer(s) would probably be SalesRevenueNet and GrossProfit, respectively.

short note on GAAP
How does GAAP affect financial reporting?
ugly people need gaap to look nicer
In 1992, the Auditing Standards Board established the GAAP hierarchy.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) must be followed by publicly traded companies in the United States, as they are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to ensure consistency and transparency in financial reporting. Additionally, other organizations, such as non-profits and private companies, may choose to follow GAAP to enhance credibility with stakeholders. While not mandated for all entities, adhering to GAAP can facilitate better decision-making and comparability across financial statements.
Who? US publicly traded companies. Non-publicly traded companies may be required to produce a set of financial statements in accordance with GAAP if applying for a loan. Why? GAAP accounting is nothing more than a common set of principals, terminology, etc. It allows for better communication between organizations, stockholders, individuals, etc. For example, with GAAP the term Revenue means the same thing, no misunderstandings. If you did not have a common set of principals you would not be able to compare on company to another.
