When calculating profits, Sellercloud allows you to switch between Accrual Accounting and Cash Basis Accounting. The difference lies in the time when the revenue and costs of an order are recognized.

Shipping rates provided by your carrier are estimates based on the information available at the time of order creation. However, final shipping costs may vary due to additional services or a difference in weight and dimensions. To ensure accurate order data and Profit and Loss records, Sellercloud allows you to import updated shipping costs from each carrier.

Settlement reports are typically sent by sales channels and contain payment information such as order-related fees, commissions, or taxes. They provide a detailed summary of the payment transaction, including the transaction date, amount, and settlement status. Settlements can be imported into Sellercloud either automatically or manually.

Sellercloud enables you to make Shipping Cost Adjustments, in case the order’s Shipping Cost should be updated.

In Sellercloud, relationships between entities help you update relevant data once any of those associations are changed. Likewise, the cost of a Dropshipped Order can be automatically updated when the related Purchase Order (PO) is received with different costs.

Sellercloud automatically generates a Profit & Loss report for each individual order. This allows you to focus on the order’s bottom line and evaluate its income.

After changing the item cost for any product in an order, you should regenerate your Order’s P&L to apply the latest changes. While Sellercloud’s OrderProfitAndLossServices service automatically generates and recalculates P&L data in Reports and on the orders’ P&L tab once every 24 hours, you can also manually recalculate and regenerate the P&L data at any time by following the instructions in this article.

This article will walk you through all the available Order P&L Adjustment types and how to add them to your orders in Sellercloud.
