Orders Summary by Date Range

Overview

In this article, you will learn about Sellercloud’s Orders Summary by Date Range report. This report summarizes all orders within a specific date range, including information about order details, financial summaries, and customer details. Because the report is based on the order date, it includes all orders placed during the selected period, even if they have not yet been shipped. 

You can see the following:

  • Order Summary: Customer Name, Orders, Quantity, Subtotal, Shipping, Tax, Discount, Shipping Discount, and Grand Total.
  • Financial Summary: Payment, Refunds, Adjustments, Item Cost, Shipping Cost, Total Fees, Item Cost Total, Cash Profit, Cash Profit Margin, Accrual Profit, and Accrual Profit Margin.
This report includes FBA orders even if they have not yet been created in Sellercloud.
You can run this report automatically with Scheduled Tasks.
