Appearance

The Cost Of Goods (COGS) Screen ​

Overview ​

The COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) screen allows you to assign product costs across specific time periods and document cost breakdowns. This is essential for accurate profit calculations throughout SellerLegend.

Key Features ​

Two View Options ​

The system offers a Simple View and Detailed View that can be used interchangeably without data loss. The detailed version includes six additional fields:

  • Provider
  • Notes
  • Total Paid
  • Currency
  • Conversion Rate
  • Units

Main Functions ​

  • Assign COGS values to products for specific date ranges
  • Document cost components (manufacturing, packaging, shipping, etc.)
  • Track COGS history
  • Support past and future cost period assignments

Important Requirements ​

Marketplace-Specific Entry ​

COGS need to be uploaded for EACH marketplace individually due to potential localization cost differences.

Currency Handling ​

Costs must be entered in the marketplace's native currency. The system does not currently perform automated currency conversions, though this is planned for future releases.

Cost Period Structure ​

Each cost period spans a specific date range. Orders arriving within that range receive the corresponding COGS assignment. The initial cost period defaults to infinity-to-infinity, ensuring new orders receive COGS values regardless of order date.

Access Methods ​

Users can reach this screen through:

  • Products and Inventory → Products List → Option menu
  • Clicking the COGS column directly
  • Product Dashboard → Settings
