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.
Gross Profit
Gross profit is a pretty simple economic term. Simply, it is the difference between the total amount of sales minus the cost of the goods being sold.
GROSS PROFIT Gross Profit is the difference between Net Sales and Cost of Goods Sold. First, Net Sales is calculated by subtracting Sales returns and allowances from Sales. Sales - Sales Returns and Allowances = Net Sales Next, Gross Profit is calculated by subtracting Cost of Goods Sold from Net Sales. Net Sales - Cost of Goods Sold = Gross Profit Gross Profit is expressed as a dollar figure, like $100. If Cost of Goods Sold exceeds Net Sales, Gross Profit figure will be negative. PROFIT MARGIN Profit Margin is not a dollar figure. Profit Margin shows the percentage of each sales dollar that results in net income. First, Net Income is calculated by subtracting Operating Expenses from Gross Profit. Gross Profit - Operating Expenses = Net Income Next, the Profit Margin ratio is constructed, and the result is expressed as percentage. Net Income : Net Sales = Profit Margin For example, assume that Net Income equals $10,000 on Net Sales of $100,000. In this case Profit Margin equals $10,000 : $100,000 = 0.10 = 10%. GROSS PROFIT MARGIN Terms "Gross margin" and "Gross profit margin" have been invented by some enterprising accounting students. These terms are part of accounting jargon in some colleges. The meaning of those terms is very liberal, - it means whatever one wants it to mean. For example, "Gross Profit" may mean either Gross Profit or Profit Margin. Most likely, it means that the speaker does not know the meaning of either one of the terms. But "Gross Profit Margin" surely takes the cake. It's just a mouthful piece.
