Supplier Profitability
Updated over a month ago

The Supplier Profitability report shows your profit by supplier. This report takes into account sales and refunds for both your FBA and MFN listings to allow you to analyze how your items are performing by supplier. This can help you efficiently determine where you are getting your best return on investment.

Note: For the Profitability reports, data is pulled from sales even if in an Estimated status, so the revenue you see is subject to change within an open settlement period.

Although sales and refunds are accounted for, reimbursements and overhead expenses like inbound shipping/promos are not included in the totals shown on these reports.

  • Revenue - The revenue of the orders for that supplier in the time period selected. Refunds from the same time period are deducted from this total.

  • % Of Revenue - The percent of revenue that supplier made up in the time period selected. Refunds from the same time period are deducted from this total. (Specific supplier revenue divided by total revenue)

  • Profit - Sales revenue for that supplier in the time period selected minus the sales expenses. Refunds from the same time period are deducted from this total.

  • ROI % - The Return on Investment of the orders for that supplier in the time period selected. (Profit/buy cost of orders and refunded orders*100)

Adding Suppliers to N/A Items

If there are sales or refunds for MSKUs missing supplier information for the timeframe being viewed, they will be grouped together on a line item with N/A as the supplier name:

If you click N/A, you will be taken to a view of the Inventory Overview page showing the MSKUS in All Channels that currently do not reflect a supplier.

Note: This view shows all MSKUs without supplier info and not just the ones in the report within that time period.

To add supplier information, click the On Hand quantity for the item in the available channel(s).

This will bring you to the Replenishment page for the listing where you can manually add or edit the supplier(s) for the MSKU. Once updated here, the supplier information will retroactively update past transactions for the listing, which will update your reports.
