COGS

 

Cost of Goods Sold is a vital part of knowing your profit.  This is where you can enter the cost of manufacture and inbound shipping fees (if any) for your prodcuts, and MBS will then use that info to calculate profit against revenue for each product sold.

The Chart shows a visual representation of changes.  This can be useful if the COGS is changing often, giving you a gauge of those changes.

The Tags button lets you filter by Tags if you have them assigned.

See the Products | Product Tags article in this KB section for more.

You can also update the Cost fields using a CSV file.

Update your CSV file as desired, then click to “Import CSV”.

Note: you can only make changes to the Cost and Inbound fields.  You can not make changes to the product names and upload them.

After the import, the system will show you any errors and it will switch you to Bulk Edit mode, where you can check the values and choose what to do – SAVE, SAVE+0, SAVE+ALL, row by row or globally for all the imported lines.

Note:  please pay close attention when you use the Bulk Edit mode.  Make sure it is what you want to do before you click on Save.  It is not something that is easily undone, so make sure you choose the Save+ option that is best for you.

Use the Exit Bulk Edit button when done bulk editing.
