Japanese term or phrase: 構成比の分母とする計科目

the line item value for revenue
Explanation:
The complete phrase could be translated as follows:

"Also, for the operating margin, you can set the line item value for revenue."

The part quoted in the question means a general "line item value for the denominator of a ratio," but in the case stated, the ratio is the operating margin, and the denominator of this ratio is the revenues value. I hope this helps.

This one is seriously difficult, but I suppose I'll have to go with "the line item value for revenue". Sounds good to my non-accounting ears.
