Daily Sales

The daily sales has 4 panels where all order movement is displayed.  The first panel below will show the Forecast ordersby Amazon. 

These are forecasted orders only as these orders have been placed with Amazon but not yet despatched.  At this stage, the order is not yet finalised until despatched, therefore, this section is giving out a forecast of the expected sales and profit, if the order is finalized then it is moved to shipped order.

In this panel you will have the option to export the page, show more items per panel and scroll down only in the required panel.  Below the title it will show a summary of the actions of the day.

  1. The total orders refers that all forecast orders placed by customers.
  2. The gross is the total order value that the customer will pay.
  3. The units Sold are the total units of orders for that day.
  4. The expenses are the total cost and the platform fee expected to pay / to be deducted from your account.
  5. Total profit is the expected net profit and is calculated as sold price taking away the cost of the product and the fee that are being deducted from the platform charges for the sale of that product.

The Panel under TODAY FORECAST ORDER is where the profit of the day is displayed. 
All transactions will be updated every15 minutes as the system works along the platform details on which orders are being dispatched to customer.

The TODAY’S SHIPPED ORDERS is the all shipped order for today. Here we have the option to search order by order number and look it up by SKU or product sold by any word that is includedin the title.

With any of the stages in this module you could find this (+) symbol. This is an indicator that the item is not linked with supplier details.By clicking on this symbol ,a  pop up (of Add New Product) will appear,  this will allow you to enter the product details and supplier for linking to supplier.

FBA Sale: If product is sold, (Fulfilled by Amazon) all calculations are pulled by the system and all fees are also applied and added.
Profit calculation: Sold Item -(less) Purchase Price -(less) Fee = Profit

MFN Sales: If a product is sold via Merchant Fulfilled Network,the system will extract the information that the item was sold, plus any charges for shipping that the customer paid and that will be the total sold price. The fee and the total fee will be calculated exactly as that sold by FBA as that charge will be extracted from Amazon. In the case of MFN, the feeswill show in blue so that these can be edited in case the fee is different to that on Amazon’s system, we also take a 15% commission of shipping charges that you have set with Amazon as amazon takes that as part of fees also and is deducted from your sales.

In most cases, this will be the case when the item is sold MFN on a different marketplace (another countries other than one you operate from).Shipping Fees can be amended for MFN orders especially in the case of international shipping or different shipping charges due miscalculation of weight and size of item which will differ from the set shipping price.

eBay: When an item is sold on this platform; as shown below; the sold price plus the shipping cost will add up to the total sold as that is the figure that eBay will take as commission.  E-Bay commission is calculated in a different way, the is because ebay only provides us with the fee charge but we have added the insertion fee and the % of tax.  More information on this will be found under the ‘setting’ section.  Shipping costs can be adjusted similar to MFN (explained above).

YESTERDAY’S SHIPPED ORDERS&LAST 7 DAYS SHIPPED are the same as TODAY’S SHIPPED ORDERS But here we show some of yesterday’s order history and the last 7 days orders.

This helps on how to take any action that you may need in order to monitor your business.

Refund Buddy

Refund Buddy is an extra add- onto Bizniz Buddy where you can control your refunds.  Refund Buddy will notify you if your account has been credited a refund or if the stock went back in stock.

Refund Buddy works alongside the FBA refund process.  Below is a step-by-step explanation of the process

  1. Customer purchased the product via Amazon (Fulfilled By Amazon)
  2. Customer did not received Item or customer did not like the item and would like to return it.
  3. When the customer contacts Amazon Via Phone or App and is given the label to send the item back, the seller will be charged a fee for the return and the money of the product that the customer paid for will be deducted from the Sales Total and so that it will be refunded back to the customer.
  4. You are not given the money back until the product is returned to Amazon.  Please note that the customer is given 45 days to return the product.

Here is where Refund Buddy could help monitor the situation.  Let’s take a lookat a screenshot of Refund Buddy and what we expect to see:

 

As with most of the reports,  you can select the date range for your preferred period and also export the report to work on excel.

You will find the Order Number, Purchased Detail including ASIN, SKU the Date Purchased and the Sold Price. In Red you will see the refund that Amazon has taken from your account and in Blue the fee that you were charged from your account as the customer returned his item.

Below are 3 examples of how the system can deduct the movement that Amazon is having with the return order.

Example number 1: The item was returned to inventory in sellable condition, this can happen as Amazon has checked the product and decided that the product is still suitable to be sold or this could also mean that Amazon replaced your stock with the same item (only if selling Branded products not Bespoke and own Brand Products)

Example number 2: The item was not returned to your inventory and the 45 days have passed- Amazon did not credit your account. In this case, you or any member of your team, will need to contact Amazon Seller Support and pass over the transaction information and open a case with them .  In Refund Buddy you will need to enter the Date that you contacted Amazon and the outcome of the case to help you keep a record of refund cases opened.
