how to generate reports for specific products sold in e-commerce

Apr 30, 2012 7:28 PM

Hello,

 

I am going to start letting products from other manufactures be sold in my online store and do a percentage split of the profit with the manufacture. I was wondering how to tag those specific products and generate a report on how many products were sold and what the gross income was from those products. This will make the quartly accounting so much easier....

 

Thank you for any help...

    Hey there,

    You should go to the knowledgebase and check out the COmmission Payable stuff on the products and how that works with suppliers.

    • Supplier - Choose a supplier that you source this product from. Setting this value is useful for when you report on your sales to see which supplier products are most popular.
    • Commission Payable % - The commission percentage number is stored for each product in an order. If you have to pay commissions to suppliers for selling their products then setting this number allows you to run reports that calculate the final amounts for you.

     

    Yea I found this stuff eairlier but the question is how do you actually run the report and how do you set up a supplier? I don't see why this is so hard it should be in the custom reports section of the reports tab. Then make new eComerce report, then pick supplier then filter for sales by supplier. But there is no filter for sales... just a filter for status and country. And I would think that you would add a supplier to the affilate program but that is actually for something else entirely. Sorry this is probably very simple and I am over complicating it...

     

    Thanks for your help...

    Hi there,

     

    That kind of report is not available at this stage. I can see how it would be useful in your case ad encourage you to add it to our wishlist http://www.businesscatalyst.com/wish-list/list-public

     

    Cheers,
