Order-Level Grouping: A Better Way to Analyze Profit & Loss

Overview


Order-Level Grouping in the Profit & Loss (P&L) report allows users to analyze financial performance at the individual order level. It provides visibility into how each order contributes to revenue, costs, and overall profitability.


Explanation

With Order-Level Grouping, all P&L metrics are structured around Order ID. Each order includes its corresponding revenue, units, net profit, and associated fee components in a single view.

The system consolidates all items within an order, ensuring accurate representation of multi-product orders. Refunds and adjustments are applied directly to the respective order to maintain consistency in financial calculations.

  1. Analyze profitability at the order level
  2. Identify high and low-performing orders
  3. Validate P&L data with order records
  4. Understand the impact of refunds on specific orders
  5. Monitor order status along with financial performance
